Interesting. (As you know, I object to terms like "deny" in this context because they imply intentionality, but that's a quibble to your main point.) It would be neat if somebody would make a Jesus movie based on the we-are-all-Christ idea, or, even better, one that was designed to convey the experience. How would you go about it? I'd also love to see somebody do a film of Paul's life and work. Maybe that would be an even better way to approach it, because he does give some hints in his letters--"Not I, but Christ who lives in me," and so on. Jesus doesn't seem to have taught this explicitly, at least from the Gospel record. Wonder why not? > Did you see the most recent TV passion play mini > series several years ago?

If I did, I've forgotten it, I'm afraid! Who played Jesus, do you recall? ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
