Biblical narrative (Moltmann and Tony Jones)
- Original Sin: Augustan found this very important. These ideas lead to a sort of Gnosticism. We have received life and should give life to another generation. Original sin has nothing to do with procreation. The idea has more to do with COLLECTIVE GUILT, everyone is guilty of everything that happens in the world, because everything is inter-related. We need a liberation from this universal guilt. Sin came into the world through Cain and Abel.
- Atonement: Sacrificial language of Paul in the NT. God is himself giving the sacrifice he is not asking for one. God is always the protagonist. Love takes God out of himself.
- Eschatology: New Creation is not the end but the beginning of the new creation. Dispensationalism is not a Christian idea (it’s a Jewish one), based on the 7 day creation. Creation is getting older and older until the end.
