1 | Was Jesus a reformer? | NT general Archive 1 | reformedreader | 3741 | ||
roverjbh99, In response to your question, "Was Jesus seeking to reform the Jewish religion", "NOT A CHANCE"! Jesus is the Son of God, the Lamb of God whose soul purpose on earth was to secure the redemption of His people, of which He was completely and totally victorious. He came to be the propitiation for sins, the justifier, mediator and savior of His people. His mission was set in stone (so to speak) since before the foundation of the world and not a single episode of His redemptive works for His people could have possibly been altered, delayed or brought to naught for a single second. He founded no new religion, man does that, but He expounded upon the religion that His Father commanded since before creation and that is to worship God and only God in truth. It was the religious sects of the Jews who sought to do precisely the opposite while using all the seemingly "religious" verbage in order to make it "seem" right to themselves. Hmmm, sounds a lot like what goes on in many churches today. We use the words, but we usually re-create God in our image and worship is often what "we" decide it should be. There is an amazing comparison with the religious sects of 2000 years ago and what is commonly referred to as religion today. Sam Hughey |

Good point Sam, and I would add concerning the fact that man has always been willing to redifine God and His will that Norman Geisler has written a good book on that very subject: "Creating God in the image of man!" | ||||||

Greetings Richilou! Another excellent book, which I have and would highly recommend. It is especially relevant in light of the current movement within Christian philosophy to limit God's knowledge, which is a topic that this book deals with extensively. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
