In response to this book, I recently received a private message from a friend of mine on Facebook. In it, my friend told me, "I wish that there were a hell, for people like you!" At this point, he promptly unfriended me and blocked the possibility of any response that I might give.
Thankfully, this kind of clear-cut aggression has been very minimal when compared to the support and encouraging reviews that I have received. Nevertheless, the questions continue. In the Facebook Group, one member said this, "There is no miracle free Gospel! If there was, there would be no Gospel!" On the book's website Page, another person wrote, "I don't want a Miracle Free Gospel." He wondered, "What's wrong with miracles?"
In dialogue with a local pastor, the following questions were posed, "What is your purpose with this book and its readings - your end goal? Entertainment value? Deconstructing Jesus? Promoting Jesus?"
It is these questions, and others that have arisen, that this post will attempt to answer. Unlike ever_y other page on this website, TMFG Blog will allow comments and encourage dialogue. Any questions that a reader might have, are most welcome!
