A radical redemption of the Gospel, based on a corridor of The historical personality of JesusBy EP Sanders

Part One

This good news about God is a message that is much stronger than the standard glorification to abandon evil and deliver a new paper. In a world believed in God and rule, some people lived as if there was no god. They should have some concern about this in dark hours at night. A message that God loves them in any case that may change their lives. However, I must hurry to add that I do not know that Jesus’ message was effective in changing the future view, and thus the life of Galilee. Like women who followed Jesus to Jerusalem, they saw him die and returned to his wipe, the bad guys disappear from the gospels. We do not know what happened until Levi, the customs officer that Jesus called. It is difficult to find a space for these people in the Jerusalem Church headed James Al -Adil (The tradition also called the brother of Jesus, who was very bored). Perhaps they lived their lives in Galilee, in the hope that the man who made them feel privacy will return. This look forward to the early church position is very useful for Jesus’ understanding. If it is a reformer to society, he was forced to face the problem of integrating bad people into a healthier social group. Then there should be explicit rules on behavior parameters, as well as a type of policy on sources of income. There is nothing of this (Sanders, p. 234, concentrated).

The kingdom that Jesus refers to, the kingdom of God, is not from this world (John 18:36).

It is not a social system that must organize those who enter so as not to fall into a state of chaos, or must be sure that all participants are repaired if sinners are sinners (which is all). It is not operated on the rules that must be taken into account.

We do not know exactly, of course, what is the kingdom of God.

In Paul’s account (1 Corinthians 12:12), it appears that the body of Christ is closely synonymous, a world or a condition that we are all organs in one body. This also indicates a system that regulates itself.

If only by entering the kingdom, one is combined, one is preserved, repentance and reform are not necessary as a pre -entry condition. Simply entry He is Salvation and with salvation, there is no longer a need for repentance.

There is no need for repentance before To salvation, because our sins are forgiven, and as soon as you pass over the threshold, you were changed immediately (1 Corinthians 15:52).

On the other hand, according to Paul, salvation is something that must be “worked” after This occurs (philippians 2:12), as well as something that can be lost (Hebrews 6: 4-6).

On the third side (Paul again):

“Because I am convinced that neither death nor life, nor angels, the Emirates, nor powers, nor present things or the coming things, and neither height nor depth, nor anything else created, are able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8: 38-39).

Of course, the central Christian fantastic is free will.

We still have to Consistently To enter the Kingdom, just as the lost sheep must cooperate with the shepherd once they are found, and do not act like goats and continue to escape (in this case, one assumes that it must be subjected).

The so-called bad guys, the people who moved away from their moral essence and the correct living, who were immersed in all kinds of evil, deviation or behavior-in other words, We are all–This is lost.

Although we may not agree or agree to keep it in Conscious Level – this may not even be truly maybeThat is, more than a lost sheep you can find a way to return – we will definitely be happy, like the lost son, to find our way home and discover that we are We are Save.

Which sheep, regardless of how much it lost, does not recognize the shepherd when it comes?

You may say that many people Not Get to know Jesus, as it was narrated in the Gospels, which raises an interesting question: What exactly He is The difference between Jesus, the man and Christ, the state or station of Christ is an alert?

Jesus Christ’s paradox is a man and God refers to two sides of his being: It is the history of a man who is also – or who becomes in death and resurrection? – Introduction to God.

Does Jesus say, “To reach God, you have to pass I“As in Jesus the man? Or does he say that we must pass through the same eternal slogans that he led, as a man, on the way, and thus has become historical incarnation?

Logic (slogans) dictates the latter: to become Jesus to become Christ/slogans.

There is more. If the kingdom of God is not present on the social level, is it really related to the recognition of Jesus at this level, either? (That is, the idea of ​​the newborn that we must consciously Believe Some historical things that must be saved.) Or is it about existence Find By slogans, if not on this side of life, then on the other side (although it is better on this side)?

If God does not allow one of his young, this means clearly Global salvation. It is better proportional to the Bible, with what Christ is supposed to say, and what about Christians Believe About Christ.

(To believe in the eternal curse any The soul is Disbelief In, even to refute, the power of love of Christ.)

After there He is A anti -Bible kindergarten, one that no one can deny, that is, if you do not repent at the right time, you are lucky, because you will not have any opportunity after that To repent. There is no more free will in the afterlife, and the reason goes, so hell is forever.

This does not seem particularly fair, if we look at the types of conditions that many people generate – including raising them by Fundie Christians, which can be said to be a place to start salvation much worse than atheism (my own background).

More than that (since fairness may be unrelated), it does not seem to be correct, consistent or realistic, that God ask individuals to repent, when they did not have the opportunity to see the mistake of their ways because they did not recognize the existence of God in their lives.

If we have no meeting with Jesus – besides ideological social distortions – how can we expect to love him?

The idea that we are supposed to repent without having an insect sense of sin –With the exception of the external ethics that are imposed on us and used in the Arab people– It was not equivalent to any equation for the example that Jesus put in the Bible, or grace, or Absolute liberation from the law.

Involve

Likewise, with the idea that we are supposed to believe in Jesus in order to save – without necessarily confronting a direct meeting with Christ, as Paul did, why is he seen as a virtue of believing in something that we do not understand and did not face, simply because we were told to do so by some external authority (whether it is an institution or a book)?

Once again, it is paradoxes, this appears to be inconsistent with the example of Jesus (or the job in OT, who rejects religious proteins and will not be satisfied with a direct meeting with God).

The idea that we need Believe (Without understanding) that it is saved is a powerful tool, because it definitely evokes the other side loss It is believed. Certainly people who made faith in hemishes want to believe in the solution presented, and they will do anything largely to avoid this fate.

As shown in 2020-22, the infectious fear of the made threat will ensure that people are alighed collectively for potential false solutions.

Thus, Jesus Christ becomes the savior who saves us from hell, Kabo, the racket of spiritual protection.

The eternal curse is the cornerstone of the psychological process of social engineering that regulates Christianity.

It is the backbone of the work schedule for thousands of years, and the belief that we believe in Jesus in order to save it from eternal hell is the phenotype of Frankstein’s monster, which was alleviated together around this backbone.

The nucleus of truth is that Do You must believe that Christ has the ability to forgive our sins, and that his love eliminates it forever, to enter into a state of grace. Faith is necessary to heal faith. Without it, we cannot recover.

The lie in the idea that we have Win The remission of our sins, before or after. Salvation is an expired deal. Even the inhabitants of hell have been directed.

If we choose sin and suffering after that, this is our choice. We can distribute the symptoms of our disease psychologically after we heal, and thus fall on the old patterns. But nothing can change The truth of our salvation– “The doors of hell will not prevail against it” (Matthew 16:18).

To be clear: I do not rule out “purification” or purification (no Punitive) aspects of God’s love (Jesus gives some strict warnings on this subject).

This is the place where the free will comes: If we want to resist the fires of God purification, and we deny the truth of the love of God, we will He suffers more, and longer, than if we accepted.

The kingdom of God is like a sauna: If you are not used to heat and you are full of toxins, then you will be so completely Unpleasant as soon as you get here, and a long time takes it.

Hell is the experience of heaven for those who have not yet been purified (It is somewhat all).

What is the time that the hellish transitional period takes, and what remains of us (in terms of continuing awareness) in the end, is assumed to be a very wide spectrum. Sufficiently, one may assume that many individuals will get it nothing Their left at the end of the matter but (Raw) spirit.

Since our impurities, distortions, and delusions are burned in the sauna in the sky, whether there is anything that can be recognized from us as soon as we rely on this process will depend on the completion of our identity with those patterns at the beginning.

But in both cases, The soul itself has been saved. This is necessary: Nothing is logical within the scheme of Christ and the Gospel.

Sanders writes:

(Jesus) was the absolute. He asked a few people, those who have already followed him, to surrender Everything. For others, the kingdom promised without setting a lot of conditions and circumstances. He was coming, God intends to include even the bad guys. Jesus did not want the bad guys to remain evil in the meantime, but he did not put a program that would enable tax collectors and prostitutes to earn a living in less suspicious ways (p. 234).

The kingdom of heaven is on hand, and with our sins, forgiveness, and God loves us, and allowing death to burial the dead. The opportunity of the moment is to give up God and allow God to surrender to God’s love, l The truth of the truth That God loves us and our sins We are Sameh.

In the example of the lost son, the son finds his way home. He learns the mistake of his ways, which is why he returns home; He is sorry because he left because he lost all his money and could not find anything to eat; He returns home because he is hungry and reduces eating with pigs. Changing it in the heart and mind is the practical result to confront it with reality.

These are the only meaningful criteria for ethics: when we see the consequences of our actions, we change the tactics. Because anything else is madness.

Of course, this mainly extends to infinite.

All self -will is a mistake, because God is the only will to be done, the only will that you know what you do. But if it is God’s will that will not be lost one soulSo this must also outperform all the commandments of less than humans.

Including – or in particular – the will to deprive God’s love and burn it in hell forever.
