My charismatic/pentecostal tradition taught me that humanity - TopicsExpress



          

My charismatic/pentecostal tradition taught me that humanity (including mine) was evil, worthless and despicable in Gods eyes...this mistaken anthropology demands a low view based on the idea that sin and impurity were offensive to God, the general idea was that Jesus simply put up with people because he knew all along he was going to change them by his death...but this distortion does deep damage to not only our humanity, but also the humanity of Jesus and ultimately our concepts of God...it demands that before God can really like us, enjoy us or love us, He must first fix us through the morbid brutal death of his son...but the truth is Jesus as a representative of the Father truly loved and enjoyed the publicans sinners, tax gatherers and multitudes, he was genuine about it, not faking it until he could fix us...
