We move forward in the series, "A Cruciform Life", by looking to reconcile the image of Christ on the Cross and the acts of violence in the Old Testament.⁠ As we continue to meditate on these topics, let us reflect on Luke 24:27, which says, "And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself."

Today I have Derek Caldwell in the studio for part 1 of 3 talking about a series of articles he's written about violence in the Old Testament. We talk about why violence in the Bible is seen as such a problem, why God is seen as being judgmental, jealous, and hateful in the Old Testament, and we talk about the fear of the Lord and how that isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Does God relish blood, sacrifice and violence?

Does God relish blood, sacrifice and violence?

What does it mean to say that the Bible is inspired? Conservative scholars and pastors have struggled for years to prove that the Bible is without errors... our guest this week thinks this is a fool's errand.  This week, Dr. Greg Boyd joins the conversation to help us rethink what it means to say the Bible is inspired. What if God inspired the Bible's contradictions to function as assets and not problems? Perhaps we should embrace the mistakes and contradictions in Scripture, because they show that God chose to use fallible humans to communicate timeless truth... enjoy!   RESOURCES:  Inspired Imperfection: How the Bible's Problems Enhance Its Divine Authority (book)  Cross Vision: How the Crucifixion of Jesus Makes Sense of Old Testament Violence (book) The Crucifixion of the Warrior God: Volumes 1 & 2 (book)  ReKnew.org 

Teologi ja harhaopettaja Markus Finnilä vastailee neljään hänelle esitettyihin kysymykseen, jotka liittyvät Raamatun kummallisuuksiin. 00:00 Onko Raamattu totta? Joosuan kirjasta eteenpäin Raamatun tarinan suuret päälinjat ovat sellaisia, joille historiantutkimus antaa tukea. Yksittäisistä kertomuksista on vaikea sanoa. Historiallisuuden kriteerit olivat Raamatun kirjoittamiskulttuureissa erilaiset kuin nykyään. Lisäksi Raamattu sisältää myös sellaisia kertomuksia, jotka vaikuttavat siltä, että niitä on tarkoitus lukea fiktiona, kuten Joonan kirja. Kristinuskon opin kannalta merkityksellistä on ainoastaan se, että Jeesuksen kuolemalla ja ylösnousemuksella on historiallinen perusta, ja kaikkeen muuhun voidaan suhtautua avoimesti. 15:02 Jos Raamattu on täydellinen kirja, miksi sitä on niin vaikea ymmärtää? Eikö Jumala osaa kommunikoida selkeästi? Ajatus Raamatusta täydellisenä kirjana ei ole kovin raamatullinen eikä kristillinen perinnekään sitä sellaisena pidä. Raamatun monitulkintaisuuden ja arvoituksellisuuden näkeminen ongelmana saattaa johtua siitä, että meillä on erilaiset odotukset ja arvot kuin sen kokoajilla. Vaikuttaa siltä, että juuri nämä ominaisuudet voivat saada aikaan viisauden ja rakkauden hyveiden kehittymistä Raamatun tekstien kanssa kamppailevan yhteisön elämässä. 27:25 Raamatussa kielletään esim. sianlihan syöminen ja kahdesta erilaisesta langasta valmistettuun vaatteeseen pukeutuminen. Miksi kristityt eivät noudata näitä käskyjä? Nämä käskyt sisältyvät Tooraan. Se syntyi muinaisen Lähi-idän kulttuurissa, jossa korkein juridinen auktoriteetti ei ollut kirjoitetussa laissa, vaan yhteisön jakamissa arvoissa. Kirjoitetun lain tehtävänä oli toimia yhtenä näiden arvojen ilmentäjänä eikä kysymys ollut niiden sanatarkasta sisällöstä. Tästä kertoo esimerkiksi se, että Toorassa kuten eräissä muissakin muinaisissa saman kulttuuripiirin lakikokoelmissa on samasta aiheesta erilaisia käskyjä. Uudessa testamentissa sanotaan suoraan, ettei Tooran kummallisia käskyjä tarvitse noudattaa, sillä niiden tarkoitus oli erottaa Israelin kansa muista kansoista. Jeesuksen seuraajien keskuudessa eri kansojen välisten raja-aitojen on taas tarkoitus kaatua. 38:36 Miten suhtaudut sellaisiin raamatunkohtiin, joissa Jumalasta saa moraalittoman kuvan (esim. orjuuden hyväksyminen ja väkivaltaan yllyttäminen)? Toiset koettavat osoittaa, ettei kohdissa ole kysymys niin moraalittomista kuin miltä ensiksi vaikuttaa, toiset taas vetoavat siihen, että Jumala kyllä tietää paremmin, eikä häntä pidä kyseenalaistaa. Vaikka perinteisissä tavoissa tulkita Raamatun "rumia kohtia" on hyviä puolia, Markus kertoo, miksi ne eivät ole vakuuttaneet häntä. Hän esittää lupaavana vaihtoehtona Greg Boydin ristinmuotoisen tulkinnan (Cruciform Hermeneutics), jossa rumia kohtia luetaan Jeesuksen ristin näkökulmasta. Boydin teoria paljastaa rumien kohtien takaa yllättävällä tavalla sen saman Jumalan, joka ilmenee itsensä uhraavassa ja loppuun asti rakastavassa Kristuksessa. Mainittu kirjallisuus: Gregory A.
