Just few thoughts as many times from just one direction, little ole me, as been called heretical. Our faith, followers of Jesus, those Christians. ( This was first used as name to mock followers), those early days of the developing Christian church. Viewpoints started to arise about just who the person, nature, purpose, identity of Jesus Christ was being understood. Some different opinions enveloped knowledge. these discussions became ideas that secreted, challenged, apostolic orthodox tradition.
Who was Jesus the Christ ? What would be purpose of the emerging Church? Further it really was emerging, but the Acts further the letters in New testament identify some issues.
Really important` thinking, plus actions`, about the Churches motivation. Jesus had truly lived among us in human form. That he had been with the father Jehovah God since the formation of the Earth. Luckily at these times still evident where some who had known Jesus personally. `Knew he had cooked fish on the beach', spoke to the woman at the well...Cried when his friend died. Suffered pain on the cross. Resurrected back to life from empty tomb. Appeared to his mates Disciples`.
All these are up for debate plus discussion. Are we relevant to issues others are facing? How is justice dealt to the poor? Do we care about those who have not heard? Is Hell a Biblical concept?
etc...
