Faith Does Not Save You - The Jesus Trip

Robert Farrar Capon

"Grace is the celebration of life, relentlessly hounding all the non-celebrants in the world. It is a floating, cosmic bash shouting its way through the streets of the universe, flinging the sweetness of its cassations to every window, pounding at every door in a hilarity beyond all liking and happening, until the prodigals come out at last and dance, and the elder brothers finally take their fingers out of their ears."

Philip Yancey

"I have come to know a God who has a soft spot for rebels, who recruits people like the adulterer David, the whiner Jeremiah, the traitor Peter, and the human-rights abuser Saul of Tarsus. I have come to know a God whose Son made prodigals the heroes of his stories and the trophies of his ministry."
— Philip Yancey

Is Batman a better guy than Jesus?

Batman, the Caped Crusader, has always been one of my favorite heroes. If you were hanging from the side of a building, and needed a strong hand to lift you up, you know Gotham's Dark Knight would be there to save you.

Now, you and I know Batman is really billionaire Bruce Wayne in disguise, but that doesn't matter, whether you know who he is or not, he'll be there, yanking you up. Many people do not believe in costumed vigillantes, but no matter what, batman will save you.

Now,let us look at Jesus according to some Christians. Unless I know Him, unless I declare Him my Lord, unless I accept Him, He will let me fall, and burn in Hell for all eternity.

According to that line of reasoning, Batman, or heck, any firefighter or cop, is superior to Jesus Christ. I find that hard to believe.
