“The Son of God did not bring salvation and redemption to our fallen world through His signs, wonders, or words, but rather, by willingly experiencing an incomprehensibly violent death in the most virile manner,”
Virile?
Um… Under torture he maintained a hard-on?
That’s an Easter parade I could miss…
“overcoming it at His Resurrection.”
Resurrections lasting more than four hours should be looked at by a doctor.
“Jesus gave up His life”
Weeeeeeeell, he got it back. He gave up his weekend.
“that the Body of Christ, the Church, would live as the chosen vessel of the salvation He won until He returns.”
Weird, then, that it took three hundred years for a pagan to decide what the church of the Christ actually was.
“His Church was conceived at the Cross as the precious Blood and Water gushed forth from His most Sacred Heart, which also became the supernatural source of its sacraments.”
There were some seriously weird faiths that called themselves Christains for the first few centuries after he was Nailed in such a Virile State to the cross. Pole sitters, for example. The various dogmas that fought to be in control of the Council of Nicaea…
“This means that God’s perfect, providential plan of salvation was not accomplished through passivity or piety but in the most masculine manner by His Son who took on flesh in order to sacrifice it, even pouring out the final drops of His Blood in the most humiliating, painful way.”
Resurrections lasting more than four hours should be looked at by a doctor.
“And we don’t accept His salvation accomplished on Calvary by mere mental assent, acknowledging that such an event actually occurred, but through active participation in this once for all sacrifice—”
Wait, active participation? You repeat this one-time-only event?
“In our time, does God want courageous, countercultural men of faith and action to reclaim the mantle of such a centurion office to tend, defend, and extend the Kingdom of God, which is led, in large part, by too many weak and worldly men, is virtually devoid of defenders, and has lost much land and many souls to the evil Spirit of the Age?”
You just want more erections in the services, don’t you?
