Saw this on Twitter and liked it.

I'm not sure if this will get noticed, but I liked it.

There was a quotation from Simone de Beauvoir that I read in the paper only the other day… You may agree with those words or not, but those are the key spring of The Lord of the Rings.

J. R. R. Tolkien, 1968

Tolkien is talking about Original Sin in which death ("the wages of sin is death" as Paul would put it in the gospels) was never part of the original design of God before the Fall. De Beauvoir unwittingly makes the point for Tolkien. Had she known she might have choked on her coffee in Café de Flore.

Christ is King. Adam was also king, but he failed to exercise dominion over the serpent. Jesus has conquered the serpent, and all authority on Heaven and on Earth has been given to Him. He is enthroned at the right hand of the Father and will reign until His last enemy, death, is subdued.

Hosanna!

How would you differentiate between Jesus being in heaven and alive and Jesus being in heaven and dead? Like, what's the difference?

While the obvious parallel (even made explicit in the text) is with the Grimm Brothers’ “Little Mermaid”, the animated film “Bubble” (2022) contains nearly all of the elements of a Christological narrative. In this essay I will

Excellent new resource with a ton of careful research behind it. Amazing to see how in UK some evangelical churches are confronting and undoing histories of prejudice.

Me: Do you think Jesus ever put up his hair in a chignon? Or was he more a ponytail kind of guy?

He has not assumed a body as proper to His own nature, far from it, for as the Word He is without body. He has been manifested in a human body for this reason only, out of the love and goodness of His Father, for the salvation of us men. -Athanasius

The King’s invitation to the repentant [Matthew 11:25-30]:

This invitation is a sign of Israel’s rejection of her King since with it Jesus invited those who had believed in Him to separate from unbelieving Israel and to follow Him. In Matthew 11:20-24 Jesus addressed the condemned, but in Matthew 11:25-30 He spoke to the accepted. This section is a Christological high point in the Gospel. ~ Constable, Thomas [ref. Matthew 11:29]

Ok, so Jesus was fully human, right? That means He had DNA. If we somehow acquired His holy DNA and cloned it, who would that clone be? He surely can't be Christ, because Christ was also fully divine. But this being would be identical to Christ in every testable way. So who is Jesus without His divinity?

Two answers to this:

Clones and identical twins share the same DNA. Jesus and a clone would be at least as different as twins. The twin would not be a divine person but a human person and so would not be sinless (following the St. Joseph paradigm). Human personalities are not determined based on their DNA, but their choices. The purported clone or twin would be dependent upon his own choices. There is no problem differentiating twins or clones from each other in the real world in which we live.

Cloning any human being, however, is a violation of the sanctity of human sexuality within marriage, which is the proper context for human procreation.

The current trend toward Christologies of identification are no improvement. We look, supposedly, for a Jesus who identifies with us, or with whom we can identify. That backfires, for example, when feminists find it impossible to identify with a male Jesus and start casting about for female divinities. But that is symptomatic of the difficulty with all Christologies of identification. We forget or ignore the fact that Jesus was one with whom no one identified in the end. ~Gerhard O. Forde, Theology is for Proclamation, 72.
