Where is Matt Mikalatos when you need him?
Trying to Understand a Ripped Jesus.
I know that this is old, but I’ve seen it floating around again…
Is this how you picture Christ? Is this why it is okay to be violent in His name?

I guess it fits if you’re Mark Driscoll…

It’s evangelicalism and fundamentalism gone mad.
This God and country thing truly gets to me at times.

It’s heresy. That’s the only word for it, really. The cross is about Jesus submitting to the worst that evil and hate could throw at him, soaking it all up until it was all used up, and then coming back from death in living love. Not for revenge.
Perhaps there’s a twist here on George Tyrrell’s comment about scholars questing for the historical Jesus looking down a deep well of history and seeing only their own reflection at the bottom. Instead of seeing their reflection, these people are now seeing what they wish they could see. What they might see if they spent more time at the gym than the pizzeria?
