PTS LenTalk#8 Jesus--Standing or Seated at the Right Hand of God? With or Without Wounds?

About this sermon

10 May 2020 Psalm 31:1-5 1 Peter 2:2-10 Acts 7:55-60 John 14:1-14 A theology of the disabled based on the semiotics of Jesus "at the right hand of the Father." Are disabled people defective, in need of repair and healing, or are they themselves made in the divine image? The back story to this vlog is Candida Moss' 2019 book "Divine Bodies: Resurrection Perfection in the New Testament and Early Christianity." Moss is the high-profile darling of academic biblical scholars. She is now the Cadbury Professor of Theology at Birmingham University, and set the academic world ablaze by her book “The Myth of Persecution“ (2014) where she belittles the amount of persecution Christians suffered in the early church. She went on to take on the Green family of Hobby Lobby in her "Bible Nation" (2017). Now, in "Divine Bodies," she argues that the marks Jesus carried with him into eternity are scars, not wounds, which is not my position in this vlog. I do like her challenging of the presumption that bodies in heaven will be perfect, which she calls a form of ableism, or “imposing our own wishes and assumptions ('pop-theology') on the ancient texts." But isn’t projecting "ableism" into heaven the very definition of anti-heaven? We would love for you to hit the "subscribe" button for these vlogs.
