{ Now playing: Recent movies: Reptilian*; Return of Mothra I & II**; Recent books: Judges; I Timothy; Schlatter, The Theology of the Apostles; Norton selections from Spenser, The Faerie Queene; Brust, The Lord of Castle Black; Luther, Lectures on Genesis 15-20; } 'Why did he die? Because I make God into an idol to satisfy my hunger for life and blessedness. . . . Because I desire fellowship with God so that he can be my servant. . . . Because we all, theologians and laymen, churchmen and politicians, the converted and the fully converted, the saints and the criminals, want to rule -- and to rule so that God will listen to us. . . . We pray to idols, the idols of power. That is why Jesus went to the cross. . . . Now the religion of claims and demands, our vainglorious devotionalism and pious behavior, which we use to set ourselves up above God, comes to an end.' -- Adolf Schlatter, Das Kreuz, pp.8f |
