Marcus J. Borg Quotes

Jesus Died For Our Sins" Has Been Understood. Among Some Christians, It Is Seen As An Essential Doctrinal Element In The Christian Belief System. Seen This Way, It Becomes A Doctrinal Requirement: We Are Made Right With God By Believing That Jesus Is The Sacrifice. The System Of Requirements Remains, And Believing In Jesus Is The New Requirement. Seeing It As A Metaphorical Proclamation Of The Radical Grace Of God Leads To A Very Different Understanding. "Jesus Died For Our Sins" Means The Abolition Of The System Of Requirements, Not The Establishment Of A New System Of Requirements.
