The Big, Thick Black Line - Who is Jesus?

If we fail to draw a big, thick black line between the things that are the ‘core content’ of the New Testament and the things that are not, we will waste time bickering and dividing over non-essential issues. Also, we run the risk of institutionalizing or following FORM because the SUBSTANCE has gone missing. Do we also run the risk of failing to make clear what is NON-NEGOTIABLE according to Scripture in the name of being accomodating?

Clarity on who Jesus is, the content of the gospel, what our mission is and our motivation are essential to making disciples as Jesus told us to! See attached file or: www.livewickmedia.com

What is the short list of truths we MUST HOLD TO and ADDRESS when we get them wrong? For this forum... WHO IS JESUS?

Jon, Thank you! I can tell you without hesitation that I would have made the very same choice to step in and "de-flame" the situation. You have my respect and certainly, as I see it, the good judgment and appropriate action an Elder should exercise when and if necessary. Blessings, Claudia
