An article the CFI newsletter reminded of this, a grueling attempt to speak against a bill to post The Ten Commandments in schools.
It passed, but, at least it’s being challenged.
The arguments pit Christians against Christians, saying it’s the wrong version, or they don’t want to talk about adultery with their kids. One calls it un-Baptist. I wish they would all get together and decide what their Gods said, it might end up with some moral principles, and at least would keep them busy.
Jesus is said to have backed the Commandments. Today’s debate is that Jesus used the first commandment as recognizing and honoring himself as God.
AI – “The scholarly debate on Jesus’s self-understanding primarily revolves around two points:
The historical Jesus vs. the gospel accounts: Did Jesus genuinely believe these things, or did the gospel writers add them to align with a developing theology?”
AI - Bart Ehrman argues that Jesus never claimed to be God, but rather this belief arose among his followers after his death and resurrection, with the Gospel of John, the latest of the four Gospels, being the only one containing direct divine claims attributed to Jesus. Ehrman contends that the earlier Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke) do not feature such claims, and if Jesus had identified himself as God, it would have been a central theme of his ministry.
The Christian movement should learn from the progressive movement that following fake truths and facts will regress your goals in the end.
The problem is the way I see it is that it doesn’t matter what the Jewish laws say Adonai said. American Christian movement is about a beliefs that are acceptable to their lifestyle.
You got that part right!
