Episode 28: Christ Jesus

Not Necessarily the Good NewsGood ways to hold the bible: in both hands, under your arm, resting on your lap, or with a lectern.

Bad ways to hold the bible: upside down in your fist over your head as though it were a bludgeoning weapon after ordering peaceful protesters and clergy tear gassed and removed so you can be photographed in front of a church that you have never set foot in and where you do not pray.

The More You Know

Last time we talked about Jesus the man, separate from Jesus the Christ. The distinction being Jesus the historical figure that lived and died about 33 AD, founding a religious movement, and Jesus the Christ, Son of God, Savior of the World.

To secular people the transition from Jesus to Christ is puzzling. How did this carpenter attain this exalted position? We learned, last week, about the many attempts to separate Jesus the teacher, and philosopher from the divine Christ. We also learned that it is not only difficult to do, but for practical purposes, impossible.

So when did the transition take place? Here is the inside scoop: It never did.
