Imposter Jesus is a flag toting, apple-pie loving, good old fashioned patriot, right?
Well, Real Jesus is over here subtly advocating non-payment of taxes and pulling the wool over on the Roman government while he does it.
Come hear what "render unto Caesar" *really* means, and why it's more Christ-like to resist human governments than to blindly support them.
Imposter: Finding the Real Jesus
You've heard about Jesus, right? The inexplicably blonde guy who grew up in the Middle East 2,000 years ago, but somehow has the sensibilities of a modern Midwestern White American? The polite, rule-following, calm, non-confrontational, pro-government, super pious guy who was very nice but always looking down his nose at people enjoying themselves just a little *too* much? Yeah, that guy is not Jesus. That’s an imposter. The real Jesus of Nazareth was a rule breaker. He was confrontational. He was a creative resister of a government with which he was in constant public conflict. He hung out with the wrong crowd and had a reputation for loving his wine.And, of course, he was brown (what with being Middle Eastern).
Join us this fall in search of the real Jesus of Nazareth.
We promise, he's way better than that blonde guy you heard about.
