10 REASONS TO FREE JESUS

Forum	Feeds	Topics	Posts	Last Post
1. Jesus practiced and taught unequivocally about radical inclusion. He hung out with the marginalized and untouchables of his day...women, tax gatherers, prostitutes etc. Would he condone excluding somebody from their fellowship, based on their sexuality, legal status, or any perceived sinful behavior? Give us your thoughts on why you agree or disagree with the Free Jesus Manifesto and the 10 Reasons to Free Jesus.	RSS Email	1	18	Re:Inclusiveness Harris3000 02/12/08 20:15:59
2. Jesus was anything but mainstream. He was a rebel. His radical spiritual message had political implications. He challenged the status quo. After the 2004 election, the Radical Right slammed Democrats for being far out of mainstream America. But, wasn't Jesus unpopular with the mainstream of his day, for his radically inclusive, non-legalistic teachings?	RSS Email	0	0	12/01/08 19:53:33
3. Jesus was non-judgmental, and offered forgiveness without declarations of faith. Nobody was denied heaven if they didn't ask Jesus into their hearts. The Religious Right is obsessed with saving souls while seemingly oblivious to the physical sufferings of these same souls. What would he think about the current obsession of end times theology, using fear to motivate and the big business it has spawned?	RSS Email	0	0	12/01/08 19:53:33
4. Jesus' harshest critiques were reserved for the self-righteous religious/political leaders of the day. He called them hypocrites, and charged that they had lost sight of the spirit of the law; they looked whitewashed but were actually rotting on the inside. What would Jesus have to say about the rampant corporate greed that dictates public policy, or the Church's cover-up of sex scandals?	RSS Email	0	0	12/01/08 19:53:33
5. Jesus hated injustice. He initiated his ministry by announcing that the kingdom of God is near: freedom for the opressed, sight for the blind and release of the captives. What would Jesus say about the 13 million children in this country who live below the poverty line and the widening gap between the rich and poor? Would he make cutting capital gains tax his top legislative initiative? What about the careless destruction of the environment that in the end, most harshly affects the poor?	RSS Email	0	0	12/01/08 19:53:33
6. Jesus described himself with two words: gentle and humble. And he summed up his message as this Love God with all your heart, soul and mind...and your neighbor as yourself. Would you describe the Religious Right's dogma, based on demonizing the other, as gentle or humble?	RSS Email	0	0	12/01/08 19:53:33
7. Jesus preached that the good news from God was not just for the powerful men of the day, and not just for Israel. In fact, he spoke of a special place in God's heart for the poor. He invites us to redefine who our neighbor is...and then widen the net to see all the world as our brothers and sisters. Would Jesus approve of us doing so little for the vast majority of the world that subsists on $1 a day? Would he insist that we tighten our borders and criminalize immigrants?	RSS Email	0	0	12/01/08 19:53:33
8. Jesus offered a radical grace towards women. Jesus allowed women to be his students, disciples and financiers of his ministry, at a time when women were not to be looked at, let alone discussing spiritual concepts. Would he restrict the role of women from full participation in church today? What would he think of the male patriarchy of the Catholic Church? What would he say about the fact that poverty in this country disproportionately affects women or about cutting social service programs that help single mothers, and their children?	RSS Email	0	0	12/01/08 19:53:33
9. Jesus wasn't a legalist. He was assailed for breaking Sabbath rules to heal a man and the Purity Code to touch and heal a bleeding woman and lepers. He followed the spirit of the law and not the rigid letter of the law. Clearly, healing trumped rules. What would he say today to people who claim they know the one right way to interpret these rules, or who dismiss scientific evidence and personal experience? What would he say about churches splitting over issues like gay rights and abortion, that Jesus never mentioned? Would he conclude that the kind of love he taught about has been the real casuality in these debates?	RSS Email	0	0	12/01/08 19:53:33
10. Jesus was nonviolent. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus preached love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you.... He challenged the old ways of thinking by discouraging an eye for an eye and encouraging us to turn the other cheek instead. Would Jesus condone preemptive war and violent solutions to conflict? Or would he prefer the peaceful ending of conflicts such as those achieved by Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr.?	RSS Email	1	7	Re:Partially agree borderhacker 10/15/07 18:11:10
