    Thank you, Jesus, for Your willingness to submit Yourself to the horrors of the cross.

    Some people want to keep Jesus on that cross. He isn't on that cross, he isn't a baby anymore either. He is sitting at the right hand of his Father. His promises are true. His return will be way different than his earthly ministry, before he was sacraficed. Be prepared spiritually. Seek and you shall find. This isn't about religion and it isn't about being a good person. It is like looking in a mirror at yourself and admitting you are a sinner. Humility isn't for the proud or strong. It's for those who admit they are weak. Because through weakness, He is strong. I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.

      Our goodness and strength of character comes through Jesus, and what he, and his sacrifice, means to us, and provide us with.

      Judaism changed everything, specifically Mosaic Law. The story of Moses and the Exodus from Egypt is the beginning of covenant theology, the first time ever in Western thought.

    Jesus scandalizes our lives by showing that only his death can deliver us from our sins. The cross shows us that no matter how good we try to live our lives, we can never be good enough to be sin-free or justified on our own.

      Judaism has no concept of original sin or the idea of a Savior, and whatever else he may or not may not have been Jesus was a most excellent Jew.

    Friedrich Nietzsche is a terrible thinker who helped to destroy what was left of goodness and truth in Germanic life and culture.

      I don’t think it’s Nietzsche that started the problem. I think he was just articulating things that were already swimming in people’s minds. The problem started before him.

    People doing the devil's work tend to pretty universally the same people who readily accuse others of being devil worshippers

      By demonizing others, we create ourselves in the image of demons and become those demons. That is how demons arise, not through the occult but due to the mob gripped by a malevolent cultlike mentality for blood.
      Happens in every religious confession and nation.

    If only the religion of Jesus had changed the world.... Instead, the religion about Jesus merged with it. Yet the former continued to exist within the latter as an intermittently exploding depth charge, the history of its periodic explosions being the focus of Tom Holland's "Dominion." Adherents of the religion about Jesus may think that Holland is bolstering their triumphant faith, but he's actually describing something hidden ominously within it, something which occasionally, yet repeatedly, blows it apart. Or as they prefer to say these days, deconstructs it.

    The actual cross of Christ remains hidden. It is another lampstand, like the Menorah.
