The Subversive Jesus

Subversive isn't a word that Christians are leaning to use when dialect of Jesus, who became known as the Christ; however, when you look at the historical Jesus inside the backdrop to which He entered, there's no better word to portray Him. He plainly curved the world upside down while the cathedral is still dreary to put it right plane up. Will we ever get it? Get Him?

Jesus came into a world or backdrop where belief was ritualistic, cultic and ritualistic!

And it still is nowadays still those who are try to make the world more like that which Jesus described as cults. Some 2,000+ being ago apiece populace had its own god, its cults, and rituals, greatly like apiece denomination does nowadays. The Jews were no omission to this standard.

Yahweh was the Jewish lawgiver, their ruler, and mask. If they obeyed His laws then they won in tussle. If they didn't function the LAWS they were defeated in tussle and stuff didn't go well in life typically. It was a gentle dualistic consciousness of life. Black and ashen. Good and bad.

And dualism was fertile.

There were rituals for everything- even rituals for rituals.

They twisted (not God) rituals for birth, for harvests, for repentance of sins, for worship, for remembering, washing hands and drinking, and what to eat or not eat (can you say pork?). There was no such thing as the LAW of the LAND that differed from the LAW of God. And we marvel why those of the Muslim consign thirst a theocracy and not a democracy?

Come on- think!

And to withhold a nation's ritual or to worsening to evidence into such activities was tantamount to sedition. hence, to delay the Sabbath and a time of worship and go hometown and beat a slave was not an inconsistent act. But Jesus came to mutation all of that and accompany in a spiritual Kingdom, not a nationalistic belief using many laws that have nothing to do using the medium, nor LOVE!

In essence, Jesus was maxim in Mark 2:27 that nothing came before God, but that PEOPLE came before laws and rituals. Man was not made for the Sabbath, but the Sabbath was made for man. And for many nowadays the Sabbath is Sunday morning at 11am- not Monday morning at 9am. Get the detail, the orthopraxy?

The cathedral has full the "relative" and absolutized it and in so burden they can't grasp how somebody can adore a lesbian, homosexual, or transgendered qualities. Why would we think that queer when as Jesus was living and walking using them they were outraged using his socializing, breach bread, and costs time using the tax collectors, prostitutes, and women who'd been married many period over. Can you say Jesus was UNIQUE too?

Jesus was cleanly maxim that is the LAW (any law) is not good to to a fuller life and LIBERTY, it's cleanly a BAD LAW! Put another way that the cathedral can't fully fathom, "LOVE and do as you will." Say what? Let me use the wors of John heaps (Catholic Bishop) who said, "A group of mature people should requisite no more than guidelines standard leading for the sake of the free-flowing life of people interacting using apiece other. While ritual is an important magnitude of life, we should be boundless to wildly, in an appropriate way, the feelings and emotions, beliefs and feelings that are insiude us."

That scares the institutional cathedral and its leaders who still want to incentive in fossils and fairy tales.

And that's one incentive Jesus was subversive! :-)
