Answers for Heretic Brian McLaren #4


4. The Jesus Question: Who is Jesus and why is he so important?
He’s God, 2nd person of the Triune Godhead - that makes Him pretty important! His Saving work: incarnation, morally perfect life, message, miracles, betrayal, persecution, atonement for sins on the cross, suffering, death, and resurrection were all predestined by God the Father and carried out during his specified time on earth nothing that happened around, to, or through Jesus Christ was random, haphazard or coincidencial. He came to be the second Adam, the one who would obey God as He was meant to and through that obedience redeemed a people for God’s own possession from every tongue, tribe and nation to become adopted sons and daughters of God.

Why do Christians present such different visions or versions of Jesus? Let me be very clear; they don’t! All genuine Christians believe this, if they reject or deny or reduce this as the primary message of Christianity, Brian, then they merely claim Christianity. They are still lost, dead in their trespasses and sins and the Wrath of God remains upon them.

How do we sort through the different versions to get a more balanced and accurate understanding of Jesus?
It’s pretty easy just read the Bible; it’s all we need to know for our Justification and Sanctification. Second, don’t waste your time reading Liberal theologians – Liberal theology is not a branch of Christianity, it is a competing religion! – one with a false Geezus (phonetically sounds like Jesus but isn’t Jesus) – and a false “other gospel” that does not and cannot save.  Brian, for the love of God, repent of your false religion, be granted faith and repentance from God, and trust not in any work of our-own for Salvation but believe instead on the completed work of Him who was sent to do the work for you! Then spend the rest of your life preaching and teaching the Word of God – Salvation by Grace alone through Faith alone – proclaim repentance and the forgiveness of sins won by Christ before you die and burn in Hell forever. Please.
