Who killed Jesus?
Given various recent discussions of the subject on the web, Sven has a nice explanation of why it’s both incorrect and harmful to our theology to say that “God killed Jesus”.
One of my problems with Adrian’s summary of the Gospel is that apart from anything else, it does not mention the resurrection of Jesus. Take the resurrection out of the Gospel, and not only does it cease to make sense, but there is no Gospel at all…
The central question in the discussion seems to be the question of the wrath of God [but] Mankind’s “biggest problem” is not, in the first instance, the wrath of God: it is idolatry…We might consider the example of Israel in the Exile. Being in Babylon was not their “biggest problem”, their chief problem was the idolatry and rejection of God that had brought them there in the first place.
