Have you noticed how we spend more time listening to others tell us what President Obama or Candidate Mitt Romney thinks on various issues than we do listening to Obama or Romney them self?
Do we spend more time listening to others (preachers, teachers, apostles such as Paul, etc.) tell us what Jesus said and thought than actually "listening" to what Jesus said? Is the message of Christianity how to do church?
Or is the Christian message about "Why Jesus died?" Is Christianity about providing for a better death, rather than life?
Could the real question be "Why did Jesus live?" Could the answer possibly provide the reason why we live.
The story called "gospel" / "'good news" is more than under-populating a place called 'hell' so that we might over-populate a place called "heaven." Fear of hell produces the very fear that the Bible tells us God, as Love, drives out.
Did Jesus die just to give us a better place to live?
