@GbengaWemimo When u say morality is "squarely in the domain of humans", please explain.
Because if God isn't concerned with moral issues, why did he give moses the 10 commandments, in which 4 out of the 10 are "spiritual" and rest are moral
This is exactly why Paul writes that the foolishness of God is wiser than the wisdom of men.
Sometimes I try to imagine how fatal a mistake it would have been if God had given Israel the warrior-king messiah they desperately wanted. That would have been the most amateur move in history. Jesus would have been one of many strong men, and strong men are the most perishable thing on earth.
Strength intrinsically depreciates. Every generation redefines it upward. Improved technology means faster and cheaper ways to kill more people, and there will always be someone more powerful coming behind you. The power model has a ceiling. It always has.
God chose differently. Jesus did not conquer by force. He was executed by the people with the force. And 2000 years later he is still being followed. His teachings still shape ethics, civilization, and the moral imagination of billions of us. He stands in a class of his own not in spite of the non-violence but precisely cos of it.
Juxtapose him against the most vicious warlord in recorded history and he stands out. Juxtapose him against the most peaceful statesman alive today and he still stands out. Nothing touches him on either end of the spectrum.
Durant who Bibi quotes was describing history, not eternity.
Jesus said the meek shall inherit the earth and in doing so he was revealing a logic that runs deeper than any military strategy. The cross looked like defeat and foolishness to everyone watching. But in reality it was the most decisive victory ever recorded. God is amazing in his wisdom!
I’m so TIRED OF THIS
Stop 🛑 Stop it
The same Bible that slaveholders twisted was the Bible that empowered Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, and countless Black preachers to fight for liberation.
Enslaved Africans did not embrace Christianity because of the whip. They embraced Christ because they saw in Him a suffering Savior who identified with their chains.
There is a difference between Christ and corrupt men.
There is a difference between doctrine and distortion.
There is a difference between the Cross and the rope.
If someone commits evil while claiming Christ, they are condemned by the very Book they claim to follow. The hypocrisy of men does not invalidate the person of Jesus.
Blaming Jesus for the sins of racists is like blaming the Constitution for politicians who violate it.
It confuses principle with abuse of principle.
History is complex.
But the objective record shows this: Christianity has been both misused by oppressors and used as the moral foundation to overthrow oppression.
The Cross is not the problem.
Sin is.

@arrakunrin 😂😂 the funny thing is, it's possible to have low budget quality phones but this will affect their bottom line. So they have to make phones that can't be used for long...

Dear Christian,
I was studying 2 Samuel 7 and I came across something so profound. I was shocked at the depth of the fatherhood of God and the extent he would go for us when he has seen our heart towards him.
