PAUL & JESUS

'...the charges against him have tended to narrow down to one, i.e., that he took the simple and beautiful Gospel of Jesus and loused it up with obscure, divisive and unecessary subtleties.
Anybody who thinks the Gospel of Jesus is simple should go back and take a look at it. Love your neighbor, Be ye perfect, Resist not evil, I and the Father are one, Follow me - the only thing that's simple about the Gospel is the language.'
Frederick Buechner, Wishful Thinking, p.68.
