Christ in Conflict

Lessons from Jesus and His Controversies

• He argued that we would experience a supernatural afterlife, that our natural existence is not all God has planned.
• He disagreed that human tradition should not supersede Scripture, our foundational authority.
• He clashed on whether the Bible was not an end in itself, contending that its purpose pointed beyond itself.
• He sharply articulated that God accept us by virtue of what we receive from him, not by what we do for him.
