dead he did not die for my sins and if i state that he did not die for my siiy sins i am willi face god en my own righteousness, which is no problem if you happen to be as good as god. borrow from paul, remain these three, fact, fiction and faith and the greatest of these is faith. lauren: his faith is in a jesus who died to show the world how to live a nonviolent life and a kingdom of god on earth. as a christian, i believe that jesus was executed, by the legal imperial power of his day. to say he was raised by god means for me, that god reversed, revoked the judgment of that lower court. despite the world and how it was given back.
