Yo...That’s not the singular message of the gospels. You can’t deny that the message of the Sermon on the Mount, the Greatest Commandment, and the Penultimate Commandant are in there too.<br /><br />The problem with the blood sacrifice message is that we are so far removed from when blood sacrifice meant anything, that it’s meaningless today unless you take the time to study it. So, when we (Christians) lead with that, we might as well be speaking in tongues.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16733274876782876659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4370268061829710124.post-91438772679263183762013-05-20T23:30:21.389-05:002013-05-20T23:30:21.389-05:00Not that I subscribe to any of it, but the essence...Not that I subscribe to any of it, but the essence of Christianity is redemption of humanity through blood sacrifice. It has absolutely nothing to do with one's humility, spirituality or anything else related to how one lives their life (our righteousness is as "filthy rags"). From the Christian perspective, man is in a fallen and sinful condition and damned through imperfection. But God chooses to redeem him anyway through the exercise of faith and nothing more. That may not be how you personally choose to interpret Christianity, but it is the singular message of the Gospels, just for the record.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
