Hebrews 1:3 (Excerpt)

"After making purification for sins. [After being beaten to a pulp. After being scourged 'till his back fluttered like ribbons. After having a crown of thorns shoved into his head. After being nailed to a tree he created by men he sustained. After having the sins of mankind laid on his shoulders. After the Father turned his face away. After dying. after rising. After crushing the Serpent's head.] He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high."
Hebrews 1:3b

...ugh

I am definitely not looking forward to attending my grandma's funeral - Whether it is just because she is the last grandparent from that side to die, or if it is the emotions of reading a passage (John 3) that she wanted read at her husbands funeral...now for her's - I'm not sure. Emotions seem high, tension thick, and I'm simply worn out. Thank God for the book of Hebrews, within which we know that Jesus understands the gravity, the weightiness, and pressure of life.

Yea, that sucked

Christless, universalist, teaching is nothing more than heresy. At best it will do what Matt Chandler said so well, "inoculate them to the Gospel." The Bible is understood through the Gospel (Jesus), therefore if the Gospel (Christ) is taken out of Biblical teaching, then the teaching ceases to be Biblical and becomes a self-help, "come feel good about yourself 'cause you're naturally good." This kind of teaching is like Luther said while writing to Erasmus, "So mean and vile, that I greatly feel for for you for having defiled your most beautiful language with such vile trash."
