What if...

 

... Jesus never finished? ...MMMthatcameoutwrong. What I meeean is. Think about his life, what he did, what he preached. Everything was radical. People were completely different after witnessing his life. He preached to love your neighbors, to love your enemies; to accept the lowest of society; to not *necessarily* obey the laws of men, but rather of God's. What he said was life-changing and he said this to people who were blind of their own sin. The world was completely changed - a moral code was set.

My random thinking is, if he changed SOOO much within his life and exposed so much sin and deceit, are there things we do daily that are sinful that we miss completely? I mean, we can sit back and say "I'm a good person because I don't steal, lie, cheat, murder, etc" but those are all normal standards of what is good simply because Christ set that moral code. What if [and if you've followed me this far, this is the whole point of this blog] there were more sins that Jesus Christ would have addressed had he not died when he did? What if there were today a chapter in Luke or Matthew about the rejection of a sinner being a sin itself? What if Jesus would have encouraged his disciples to vary, to spread out in land, language, practice, behavior, social standing, music preference, clothing style, etc. in order to evangelise to a world full of variety? What if we held "accepting everyone" in the same regard as we do cheating, lying, murdering? What if there was so much more to his teaching, to the gospel? What if he was like, "Woah, who did Revelation? ... C'mon... claim it. You KNOW this is going to screw with people's minds... let's make this readable!"... lol. Would he though?

 

I think it's interesting to look back on one man's life and see how he affected the world. Our innate sense of right and wrong has been programmed by him. What if he wasn't done with our wiring?

 

Disclaimer: This blog is purely hypothetical, to think outside the box. I in no way am questioning God's plan or the sacrifice He made for our sins. Everything happened for a reason and it is for that that we are saved. ... but still, it never hurts to ask ourselves, what if?

Happy pondering. :]

You're such a stoner thinker....

I believe that he DID command us to do all that...The Great Commission...He told us to go out into all nations and preach the Good News...Now, it didn't necessarily say word-for-word that the only way we're going to REACH all nations is to be accepting of their culture, their styles, their musics, etc....However, it IS common sense...

Maybe I've just always had the same stoner-thinking process as you do...Because I've ALWAYS believed that's what we're called to do...

...also....

there IS more to Jesus' ministry....God allowed mysteries....

Paul talks of how we will only understand the completeness of God when Jesus comes BACK.  We don't have the whole picture.  It says so in God's word...:)

 I love you!

Hmmm, interesting. But I don't think Jesus ever left anything incomplete.

 Still interesting though.
