As I read through "The Real Jesus" the reoccuring theme of "what the heck are these people thinking" kept coming up. One thing I don't understand is how all these educated smart people can think in the most idiotic ways. It seems as though the Jesus Seminar people have totally dismissed the authority of the Bible. Christian made a good point in class the other day when he said these that the Jesus seminar people seem like they are looking for an excuse not to need a savior or for repentence of sin. I totally agree with that statement. If these "scholars" were following the life of Jesus and his actions and his teachings they would have no need to cast marbles to determine what he actually said or what he might have said.
The word of God is the very anchor that keeps me going day to day and my relationship with it's main character and for somebody to challenge the quality of that character is crappy. Jesus did not die on a cross or rise from the dead to be questioned by a group of people who want to question his very words. I understand "suspicous herminutics," but I think what they are doing is trying to disprove the very God breathed words that God ordained for Jesus to tell the lame, lost, and saved.
