A Simple Question

A question every Christian should ask him or herself:

What kind of a god would murder Jesus?

This question was, in fact, one of the main queries that Gnostic Christians posed to their co-religionists in the early church.

Rather than offer a persuasive answer to that question, their co-religionists named themselves "Orthodox" in contrast to the Gnostics who were now named "heretics" and expelled from the community.

And so began the history of church dogmatics.
