Robert wrote, quoting Borg: ""Believing in Jesus in the sense of giving
one's heart to Jesus is the movement from second-hand religion to first-hand
religion, from having heard about Jesus with the hearing of the ear to being
in relationship with the Spirit of Christ. For ultimately, Jesus is not
simply a figure of the past, but a figure of the present. Meeting that
Jesus--the living Jesus who comes
to us even now--will be like meeting Jesus again for the first time."
Indeed, this statement was made by Borg at his lectures last month in Denver
and is key to understanding his thinking.
Thanks.
