I agree. Let’s start a movement, “Law breakers for Christ.” Ordain women, perform marriage ceremonies for gays, forcibly take from the rich and give to the poor.

Jesus would be proud of such loving gestures, and modern-day priests would condemn the behavior as an affront to God.

May the Lord bless you and your mind-expanding view of the Jesus paradigm.

Comment on Kant on Moral Religion and Extortionist Religion by Stephen Hinton

Perfect and beautiful exposition of the foundation for any religion that wishes to call itself moral. Of course, the extortionist will claim that your view is godless humanism. I have yet to figure out how the extortionists convincingly argue that they have access to knowledge that others don’t. On our own, using reason, we know what is right, yet we are encumbered by irrational rules determined by a “power group.”

“Man is born free, yet he is everywhere in chains.”

Very well argued! Congratulations to the author.

It is indeed the best interpretation of Paul’s invitation to gentiles to come to the faith without need of observing Jewish laws. It makes clear his point that what some group felt was clean or unclean held no bearing to those not of that group.

Serve Christ in the condition in which you are called. Indeed!

Comment on Paul’s Acceptance Of The Homosexual And Lefthander by Stephen Hinton

I find your argument sound and on the point.

Those who condemn gays as hopelessly lost in sin can’t be referring those those gays who chastely honor the vows to their loved one and live a moral life.

I won’t get into the What Would Paul Do game. I find the extortions of Christ enough: let him who is without sin caste the first stone. And Christ himself broke a commandment, sinned, when he worked on the Sabbath. His point was clear, what is wrong isn’t an act in itself, it is the motivation.
