Are You Serious?: a small refresher / from Jesus to A.D. 100

Storytime!- What if a thousand things we think are ------ arent?- What if the 1st 4 centuries of Jesus-followers lived in the belief that Jesus as our Good Shepherd came to redeem ransom and restore every one of Their sheep - the entire Family of Man - back into Their fold?- What if those centuries are marked by Jesus-believers actually not believing in death?- What if Augustines version of original sin and predestination had never been heard of until this trying-to-be-good relatively brilliant man dreamed these up in his Latin-trained Manichean and Neo-Platonist mind?- What if he added everlasting torment in hell into his theology in the early 400s?- What would Christianity look like today if the Jesus-anity of the first 380 years had been the basis of Western conversation instead of Augustines versions of these ideas?Would any of that interest you?
