The Relevance of
Jesus’ Own Gospel
The Views of a Physics Teacher
ALLEN C. DOTSON
Do the laws of nature prohibit the possibility of direct divine intervention? After the crucifixion, did God really present Jesus in some form to disciples and to others? What is the core of Jesus good news (gospel), how does it differ from Paul’s good news, and how relevant is it to today’s world? A physics teacher gives his personal answers to these questions.
Excerpts
* pg.59 – I will discuss my view that, at least by the time his earthly ministry was coming to an end, Jesus looked forward to a gradual development of a kingdom of God on earth.
*pg.174 – God wants us, I believe, to do good (really, to try to do good) primarily for the internal reward of having tried to do good.
*pg.196 – I do believe that God values compassionate intentions and actions, regardless of one’s religious affiliation, if any. Those intentions and actions are godlike, after all.
