There is something old fashioned...Yes, good point.<br /><br />There is something old fashioned about the idea of hell and satan but those things can be viewed metaphorically, not necessarily literally. But it's true that they're trying to shy away from the supernatural elements of Jesus and when you think about it, as you wrote, it makes everything sorta pointless, aside from the miracles and bringing up Lazarus from the dead. God (or other Gods and deities) is a supernatural being. There's no going around that point really.PEPLUM TVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15737965370930852596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7460884202508888004.post-87940687212629084492016-05-13T02:10:19.670-04:002016-05-13T02:10:19.670-04:00For some reason Christian proponents, whether they...For some reason Christian proponents, whether they be filmmakers or clergymen, seem to shy away from showing (in art) or discussing the part about Jesus going to hell, and even the resurrection, which is such a fundemental part of the religion, is quickly rushed over. Why is that? I've talked to quite a few men and women of the cloth in the church of Sweden, which is protestant, and they all gloss over certain parts, which to a modern human being seems utterly fantastic; the whole Adam and Eve business, and Noah's ark are probably the best examples of ice cold discussion topics. But also in this batch I find Jesus talking to Satan in the desert and other fantastical elements of the gospels. Is it because they all feel it's so important in films and sermons to depict the story of Jesus as utterly realistic in order to "sell" it? Then the whole matter of faith seems pointless.Richard Svenssonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15379574381914082334noreply@blogger.com
