Bringing Clarity to Uncertainty in Our Church
In this week’s video I will explore how God has revealed himself through the person of Jesus Christ.
For 2000 years Christianity has made the claim that the historical person of Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Christian doctrine says that Jesus is fully God and fully human. This means that Jesus doesn’t abandon his divinity to take on human nature nor does he abandon human nature to hold onto his divinity.
I remember visiting a person and discussing the moral implications of abortion. My interlocutor held the position that abortion ought to be legal because a child is not considered to be living until the child is outside the mother’s womb.
So I proceeded to ask who has the authority to decide when a human person is to be considered a human person. Thinking for a moment he responded by saying it’s simply the secular law. “So, who is the lawgiver or law creator then? And by what authority does the lawgiver decide that a law is objectively just?” I asked. He responded “It just is?” What an odd answer.
