If not,
then perhaps we do not understand Incarnation, Suffering or Redemption
Fortunately for us it isn't all about precepts, and concepts and propositions or Theology
Its about God so Loving the World that He Gave Himself so We can Give Ourselves to Him by Giving Ourselves to One another in Love.
Blessed Christmas

Wow. That really makes you stop and think, doesn't it?! Wow. Thanks, IA.
Hi Jenn
It's great to hear from you again.
I am hoping this thought will either intrigue and inspire
or
infuriate and inflame.
I only heard from a couple of people I sent this piece to last year and they both seemed to like it.
I haven't heard from anyone who is offended by it. But I hope a few 'biblical literalists' do see it and try to grapple with the implications.
I always wonder what people think about this question,
"Are the least of these really Jesus in our midst?" If someone wants to parade around as a letter for letter literalist they will have to deal with Matt. 25. If they act as if it is true (care deeply and actively for the marginalized among us) then I can respect their proclaimed commitment to a literalistic understanding of scripture. If not, then they are disqualified from their own faith.
Have a blessed Christmas
and Thanks for sharing 2006 in cyberspace. Your thoughts and contributions in the blog community have been a lot of fun and very enlightening for me.
