“Those of us raised in the Christian tradition need to choose to either see God in Jesus or to continue to let the Bible define God. Our tradition says that Jesus is God. Maybe we should act as if we think he is instead of worshipping a book.

Most Christians do that anyway, many just don’t admit it.” IfsThinkingNeedsShouldBookEnoughChristianJesusPicksTraditionBraveRaisedCompelledBe BraveBlindedIdeologues Author:Frank Schaeffer
