Christianity: How Jesus Is Different

Pastor Mark Driscoll examines Luke 2, where an angel announces the birth of Jesus, Christ the Lord, to shepherds in a field. The angel reveals how we are to see Jesus. We are not to insert him into a false ideology (e.g., atheism, deism, pantheism/panentheism, or theism) that offers no hope, no good news, no savior. Rather, we are to praise Jesus like the angels, Mary, and the shepherds did.

This clip is taken from the sermon "Christ the Lord," preached by Pastor Mark Driscoll at the Mars Hill Church Ballard campus in Seattle, Washington, on November 15, 2009. It is the 8th sermon in our sermon series, "Luke's Gospel: Investigating the Man Who Is God."

@frandeman123 What you are asserting is baseless. I was brought up in Saudi Arabia. My parents are not Christians. I never wanted to be a Christian, I wanted to be a Muslim. But I ended up becoming a Christian. It's something I can't explain, just God's hand upon my life. I looked at the evidence for Christ's life, death, and resurrection, and through God's grace I was convinced. I approached it with reason, logic, and a quest for evidence. And God proved Himself, and continues to prove Himself.

As opposed to the insanity of humanity?

What you think determines how you live - cognitive psychology scientifically based

@TBlenx1995 When seen on a cosmological time scale (billions of years), if you trust what we humans have found out so far via science and reasoning rather than via "faith", the emergence of different sexes (two, four, or whatever) has only happened recently, and only in biological life forms. This stuff about a god being of a specific gender sounds very much like something human males would come up with, when telling stories in the desert. But believers, of course, put reason aside.

@CliffRFan You are the exception, not the rule.

God made Male and Female in his likeness? So God is a Hermaphrodite?

@Jerkwad152 Well I have enjoyed our discussion, I hope this isn't the last.

@shanellypooh

I'm afraid we'll just have to agree to disagree. But I do hope you keep an open mind. God bless you.

Do you notice how he liberally uses truth? Notice the guilt and change in the tones of his voice? This is a snake oil salesman. Drug dealers are less of a threat to humanity than this guy.

Jesus is different because He is the Savior of the world.
