There’s so much room for differing views in Christian theology. In fact, I think there’s beauty in the ambiguity. However, today I’m reminded that the physical resurrection of Jesus is the center of our faith that all followers of Jesus can find commonality in.

@brittilina @HwsEleutheroi God is described by using (mostly) masculine descriptors, but he (the Father) is spirit. To argue he is male is unorthodox.

@ostrachan @ostrachan I disagree with a lot of what you post but I still follow along. This is really helpful and needed. Thank you.

This is the scandal of the gospel. Humanity does not have to reach up to the divine. He gets us.

[Cole Martin @ColeMartin96]

I saw a post the other day from a pastor criticizing the "He Gets Us" campaign.

His critique was centered on the idea that the campaign did not paint a full picture of the gospel. For him, it does more harm than good.

[Cole Martin @ColeMartin96]

The gospel IS the atonement... but it is ALSO the life of Jesus. The "He Gets Us" campaign introduces people to a Savior who understands their brokenness.

Once someone "far" from God understands that God is actually not so far, they are ready to hear the rest of the story.

And he announced it on the same day of Holy Week that Jesus flipped the tables in the temple. Insanity…

If Donald Trump selling his own KJV Bible with the Constitution and Bill of Rights in it for $60 doesn’t convince you that Christian nationalism is a problem, I’m not sure what will…

The gospel transforms individuals, communities, and societal structures.

Limiting the gospel to an individual’s spiritual illumination robs humanity of the fullness of the kingdom of God, which is actively breaking into the present through the people of God.

In every majority-Christian nation, the systems are set up to ensure those with the most resources receive the most care and support. We're so accustomed to this that we may even consider it "natural." But this is not how Christian sacred texts want social orders designed...

[Cole Martin @ColeMartin96]

Vilifying everything you disagree with as “woke” or “fascist” (both sides are guilty) is both intellectually dishonest and a hindrance to progress. Followers of Jesus, especially, should carry a spirit of ecumenical unity (John 17) that society can only strive for.
