Betraying Jesus
The author of “God’s Politics” explains how American Christianity has distorted the gospel and become spiritually bankrupt.

"Tragically, and not without some painful awkwardness, today’s evangelicals are walking a precarious tightrope between these two conflicting views of Jesus. By training, Jesus is Lord; his teaching must carry absolute authority in our lives. Yet by experience, evangelicals have accepted the ethical conclusions of theologies that have a low view of Jesus’ authority. This conflict is at the heart of the problem of present-day evangelism."

Brilliant and insightful.

I'm no longer a believer, but this is exactly the reasoning that brought me to the point of painful questioning. Frankly, it is not reconcilable. True Christians give it all up and walk away from the trappings of life. The are pacifists unto death. Don't know many of those.
