Episode title: Red Letters with Winfred Burns

Episode intro:

Hello, Civilla Morgan here! Welcome to episode 10 of the Not Just Another Religion and Politics Podcast! Thank you for tuning in! So here’s the deal: 

I want this podcast to speak to people, not yell at people. 

Whether you are a Believer or not, a Christian or not, I want this podcast to be so plain in its language, that even if you have never stepped into a church, you will get this. 

You will get who Jesus is, and you will get what relationship with Him could be like, despite what people--Christians and non-Christians, try to do to get you to turn your back. Come along with me. I promise it will be a really cool experience!

Episode Takeaways:

Mark was written first

Luke saw what Mark wrote and wanted to add his perspective

Matthew wanted to then add his perspective

John’s POV is much different than the other three books--his entire purpose was to make sure there was no question who Jesus was.

If you do not see it across scripture, there is a good chance you made it up. 

Judaism is a lifestyle, it is not a set of rules. Christians view their beliefs as a religion.

The purpose of the law was to get you to grace.      

Jesus’ lifestyle is the way. The way of joy, peace, happiness. 

 

Read Jesus to understand him for who he is, not for the example you see in many Christians because we do a lot of stupid stuff. 

 

As Christians, our job is to me merciful, and to extend mercy. We are learning along with everyone else. 

 

‘If you don’t do justice the rest of the over 600 laws don’t even matter.’

The sermon on the mount is Jesus re-setting us to what the Kingdom of God really is. It’s not about amassing power and wealth, and ignoring the poor.  

 

Closing commentary:

Don’t forget, I would love to hear from you on the question: 

 

‘Who is God?’
