Christian Beginnings 4/19/02 Elizabeth Devine
-Early Christians kept the Jewish law
-Paul was anti-Jewish law, ritual. Ceremonial law doesn't apply after Jesus died but moral, and spiritual law does.
-Craig:
If Jesus was a liar(or a lunatic) then how do you trust the other thing he has to say?
-Beliefs make sense
-Is this analogous to an "expert" situation or a personal character situation where a flawed individual has good thing to say?
-What was Jesus' main message?-Mark 5-
-Crosson
-Jesus spoke in metaphors-didn't intend to be taken literally(same with the gospel writers)- compares Jesus' stories to Aesop's fables.
-Romans Chapter2, If you were born in the middle of the jungle and never knew about Jesus would you go to Hell?
