I feel I am posting a message into the ether waiting for someone who sometime may stumble across this comment that may shed some light some way.<br /><br />Do we a need an historical Jesus Christ? Isn't the very very best explanation for the origin of Christianity that Jesus Christ was created as a composite figure. Christ (the "anointed" one) appropriated by the original Christian anarchists as a title for those who saw Christ within themselves. Jesus (from Joshua) - the companion of Moses who accompanied him part of the way up Mount Sinai when he received the 10 commandments as the title of the external authority that we are asked to obey. <br /><br />Here is a God of freedom and a God of restraint with a dynamic tension. Isn't this the best we can do in a personification of the Logos?<br /><br />And actually, isn't this something, someone who is well worth worshipping?

Yes Christ is a literary character - what else? But when you talk about a debt and origin in the Jesus of History, what does that amount to? <BR/><BR/>SMitchAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3833335047469919292.post-41250668572690528672007-11-18T13:53:00.000+00:002007-11-18T13:53:00.000+00:00Sorry Stephen, it won't do.

I think Christ is a literary character created by the church.<BR/><BR/>I respond more closely to Rob Wheeler in the 3 October Bubble about the crucifixion:<BR/>"My portrait is of the man of nearly twenty centuries ago who talked passionately of a mode of living so rich that it deserved to be called "God’s Kingdom".And, in that sense, he is still with us."<BR/><BR/>I think the church community is a powerful force but I could only come back to it if it acknowledged its debt to and origin in the Jesus of History mediated by Jesus the literary character.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16488810435563803669noreply@blogger.com
