I'm in a study group reading The Universal Christ by Fr. Richard Rohr. I know enough about Fr. Rohr (and other members of my group) to know we are talking about "progressive" Christianity but still find our discussions stimulating and respectful. Briefly--as I understand things--the theology of Christ as a presence in the transactions of humankind is compelling. For example I asked a close evangelical friend as to his notion of Christ to which he replied "other people." I guess my problem rests with the dichotomous nature of of human beings with respect to good and evil. That is, how can Christ be incarnate in a world of both?

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean by his notion of Christ is "other people". Would you clarify?

Is this a trick question my friend?

Sounds like Pilate's "What is truth"?

I thought he was phrasing it like a jeopardy response.

Pilates is just stretching man. No need to get bent over backwards about it.

I laughed.

I am still researching how Pilate may have converted to Christianity.

What does the subject of this post have to do with the content of the OP?

We all know Christ is Greek for "Messiah".

If Jesus had a last name, it would be Josephson.
