Intellectualizing Jesus Christ: the answer to Bill O'Reilly's "Killing Jesus"
While I am not politically or culturally driven, I am driven in standing for the Lord Jesus Christ and spreading His Gospel for His glory and the salvation of all: this includes those who discredit Him and malign His Truth.
Today, I am purposefully answering to a book, it's author and his public proclamation that Jesus Christ died because he "Teed off the Romans by interrupting their tax flow" (Bill O'Reilly, "Killing Jesus"). For a society that sees itself as 'intellectual' this is perfectly acceptable-but the saving work of Jesus Christ cannot be intellectually reasoned away!
People who say such things may think they are removing burdens from the backs of others and setting them free from servitude. In effect, they are placing the burden of sin on people who may otherwise receive the Truth of the Gospel and be free in Christ.
We are in times of testing and turmoil. The spirit of the anti-Christ is at work in our culture in many ways. Pray for our nation! Stand firm in Christ!
Col 2:8 See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ.
