Home · Briefed News · Easter Presents |Praised be Jesus Christ|Laudetur Iesus Christus| Easter PresentsMacleans have gifted Christians with some new doubts about Jesus' Divinity. It conicides with the Divine Mercy Sunday, and the doubting Thomas Gospel, thus makes it even more special, if you wish to feel yourself with doubts and ridiculous discoveries - READ MACLEANs stories.Below is the summary of the article in question... "Whom do men say that I am?" Even during his lifetime, Jesus's followers had differing answers: he was a rabbi with a new approach to Jewish law; he was the rightful claimant to the throne of David. It took more than three centuries of violent contention, suppression, and historical contingency before answers emerged that still define mainline Christianity: Jesus was the Messiah, the son of God and the Virgin Mary, both fully divine and fully human; crucified for our sins, he rose from the dead and will come again to judge humanity. The newest views of Christ that are emerging - activist, politician, not very Christian - are hard to square with the Bible. Now some believers are even arguing that the faith might just be better off without him. Modern historians, searching for the Jesus of history, have already swept away the miraculous elements, including the whole of Jesus's childhood. No virgin birth; no wise men, no heavenly choir of angels at the stable manger, no debating the elders at age 12. One group of scholars, Maclean's reports, is sure that Christ spoke less than a fifth of the words attributed to him. Now a controversial Canadian pastor, in a new book set to rock the church, is arguing that Christ was not as inspiring and revolutionary as we believe him to be, and it's time to move beyond him. Christ taught acceptance of oppression and derided those who disagreed with him, she says, and even his moral teachings were flawed. To try to act in the way he advocated would mean abdicating the responsibilities we have to one another. The world has changed, she argues, and his words don't make sense any more. "Why do we need a 'revolutionary' voice from two millennia ago? We have fabulous ideas of our own." 29.03.2008. 22:46 This article hasn't been commented yet. |
Prayer for All the Deceased
By Thy resurrection from the dead, O Christ, death no longer hath dominion over those who die in holiness. So, we beseech Thee, give rest to Thy servants in Thy sanctuary and in Abraham's bosom. Grant it to those, who from Adam until now have adored Thee with purity, to our fathers and brothers, to our kinsmen and friends, to all men who have lived by faith and passed on their road to Thee, by a thousand ways, and in all conditions, and make them worthy of the heavenly kingdom.
Eternal rest, grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen. |Letter of St. James|
