Yup, that's it, we don't get it!
Have a look at all the threads on this site.....how many did you say there was? hundreds, maybe thousands?
Consider what the disciples were passionate about after the resurrection, what they spoke about, what they lived and to whom/what they bore witness, what they gave their lives for....yup, all of them.
Now see how passion is hijacked and distorted by those claiming to know Jesus.....anything from tattoos to gay matters, from why you are wrong and the other right....it goes on and on and on.
If I were a non Christian trying to get a handle on this Jesus I'd hardly find out.
What I would find out is a bunch of how to threads, ie, telling me what to do....a lot of telling about the works I should do whether you call that believing a certain way....or, what you should not take notice of.....and that in spite of the big noises about works not being part of the Salvation equation.
But let me ask you, tell me about Jesus....don't give me more advice. Tell me so that I am attracted to him more than any other public figure.
If you're a bit flummoxed, try checking out some of the podcasts the link of which is in my signature ......something might be presented to you you've never heard before
