LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

Whether we are exploring Jesus for ourselves or attempting to introduce him to others we need to ensure we get at the biblical Jesus unfiltered by cultural assumptions or even our own attempts to make him more acceptable to skeptics. Jesus deserves the same kind of treatment that you demand. When people lie about you and misrepresent you, it troubles you which is understandable. Jesus should be either accepted or rejected for who He truly claimed to be. And, we should be prepared to live with the eternal consequences of that decision as we will explore in the next blog.
