“What does it mean to “be saved?” If your definition comes from religion, prepare to be shocked.
In today’s podcast and post we continue our series in Romans examining Paul’s definition of salvation, comparing it to that of evangelicalism. Then I’ll take the time to walk you through the biblical revelation that has been hiding in plain sight.
Join me now as I unwind 2000 years of church history in the hope that all comers can rediscover what salvation is all about.
“What is your reaction when I say: “Everyone has been put right with God.” How does this idea sit with your religion or theology?
Today we continue in our series exploring the book of Romans with Paul’s defense to the religious mind that ALL ARE JUSTIFIED or “put right” with God. Chapters 5 and 6 exist because just like today, Paul’s religious audience follows Plato more than Christ.
Join me now as I provide a metaphor for how Paul’s Gospel is both totally inclusive without being a Universalist, and extremely exclusive without being a fundamentalist.
“What’s the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the word “Christ?”
Whether our reaction is to cringe or draw closer, every one of us has a Christology. In today’s podcast and post, I’ll show that Christ is not Jesus’ last name and we’ll look at the implications of not understanding the cosmic role of “The Christ.”
Join me now, as we deconstruct some of our Christological assumptions and reveal a “religion-less”way of Christ following that allows us to see beyond everything.
What I’m sharing today is not new, but is likely something of which you have not heard. In today’s post and Podcast I contrast the narrow view of the ruined Jesus from last week with the cosmic view of Christ. I believe a truncated Christology has ruined Jesus and turned Christianity into an alternative religion which was never the goal of its founder. The cosmic Christ is throughout scripture and world history and has many names, one of which is Jesus. The implications of this can and will change everything.
