Shame on you if you're reading this and thinking, "oh man, thats this Sunday!" Well...it is...this Sunday is Mother's day. It is Tuesday...you've got four shopping days left! Get to it or otherwise you'll hear, "and to think I was in labor with you for [insert ridiculous number of hours here]!" OK with reminders given it is time to turn our attention to Sunday's Gathering and Discussion. Last Sunday we got wonderfully off-topic. (It is amazing how, to loosely quote Robert Burns, "the best laid plans of mice and men often [get scuttled by the Holy Spirit].) We discussed in detail debunking the Da Vinci Code. (You'll see a blog entry with a few links you can hit and draw your own conclusions.) This week, start by looking at the entry for May 7. We are discussing "...and in Jesus Christ." For this week's reading, click HERE.Thoughts/Questions for Discussion:
- Though Jesus never wrote a word (that we are aware of) you could fill a library with books about him. Why is he so controversial? Why is he one of the most discussed and debated figures in human history?
- Why could it be said that Jesus is the "scandal of scripture?" Well, it is because we say that we believe that he was both completely "human" and "divine." Why can't Jesus just be one or the other? Why can't he be half and half? By the way, most all heresies are over this issue of Jesus being both man and God. (Here is a hint for approaching this question.)
- OK, if you looked at last week's blog entry, why didn't God just send "Super Jesus?"
