    In chapter 3 of Speaking of Jesus, Carl Medearis talks about what it means to own Christianity. He says "If we don't truly know what the gospel is, we have to find an explanation for Christianity." Meaning that if we do not know what the gospel is or what it is teaching us, then we try to define it by our own standards, and that is where it gets messy. Medearis talks about how Christianity is more than a religion, but it is a relationship and people tend to not understand that. He explains why people are so defensive and put up their guards towards Christians, because Christians can be so judgemental.

Without biases, Borg comes to the logical conclusion that the Bible is a human product and the reasons for this will be addressed below. My preconceived belief that the Bible is both human and divine has been changed through Borg 's compelling argument, which states that it is necessary to see the Bible as either thoroughly human or divine. Before coming to the conclusion that the Bible is thoroughly human, Borg points out the opposing side and how its argument can be disproven.

    Not all threats to the Church are as obvious and direct as those aimed at the creeds. Some assaults even appear benign, borrowing their roots from Christian tradition. One of those comes in the form of the Church’s social justice movement. Oliver Wendell Holmes once wrote, “There are certain phrases which only serve as an excuse for not thinking.” A few years back, as I was listening to a sermon, the Supreme Court Justice’s words came back to me.

  • The Gospel Of John Chapter 1

    568 Words  | 3 Pages

    John chapter one is a very inspirational passage because it sounds the foundation of our faith, and it established from the very first verse that Jesus is completely God and completely man. John was the last gospel written, and it was written with the knowledge of what had previously been established within the last three gospels. Many bible scholars believe that this is the reason why John is so different from Matthew, Mark, and Luke. There are multiple highly important events in the ministry of Jesus that Matthew, Mark, and Luke include but John leaves completely out. The first and one of the most important of these events is Jesus' birth.
