New and Improved Boyfriend Jesus!!!!

Now in addition to your own Bible, study aids and a worship CD, the new set comes with your very own "prayer closet" playset. All you need is Jesus and yourself. He will be your perfect friend without the need for all those other imperfect figurines you would normally play with.

~~~

Following God requires others.

If Jesus is the same as "The Body of Christ", and "The Body of Christ" is the Church (I.E. the Community of believers who are all striving after Jesus), then how exactly do we expect to find Jesus in a vacuum? Since when is the Bible God's final revelation to us? Isn't Jesus alive after all? Doesn't that mean we can't confine him to the "historical Jesus" as we see him in the Gospels (who, by the way, is much more radical and challenging than we Christians seem to believe).

If Jesus is part of us, then shouldn't we be seeking to find him in those around us? God is going to reveal himself in a different way to me than he will my friends, so shouldn't we want to learn from that?

No more of this "Sola Scriptura" stuff...
