Christ Presbyterian Church: Recent Episodes
Christ Presbyterian Church, Canton, Ohio
Rabbi Jon Adlon starts our "Saints and Sinners" year-long series teaching on the transition from the Temple to the Rabbis. Rabbi Adlon is retired from Temple Israel in Canton, Ohio.
As we kickoff our congregation’s bicentennial, we are also going to be holding a year-long course entitled, “Saints and Sinners,” which will progress through church history and focus on a particular person or group of people. At the end of the year, we will focus on the saints of our church and share our own stories. Our prayer is that, as we consider Church history and those saints who have gone before, we might be inspired and challenged in our faith journeys.

This five-week series will take a closer look at the church’s relation to five key issues, each of which has defined and expressed the very nature of its attitudes toward human rights:
(1) Slavery, not just a nightmare in the past;
(2) War and Violence;
(3) Gender and Sexual Abuse;
(4) Nazis and White Supremists;
(5) Human Rights in the Current Political Climate.
This series continues the season’s emphasis on the Protestant Church by focusing on its historical and current reaction to issues related to Human Rights and Dignity. According to John Witte Jr., in his article, "Law, Religion, and Human Rights: A Historical Protestant Perspective," "Human rights are, in substantial part, the modern political fruits of ancient religious beliefs and practices - ancient Jewish constructions of covenant and mitzvot, ancient Qu'ranic texts on peace and the common good, Roman Catholic canon law concepts of ius and libertas, classic Protestant ideals of freedom and conscience. Religious communities must be open to a new human rights hermeneutic - fresh methods of interpreting their sacred texts and traditions that will allow them both to reclaim the long-obscured roles that their traditions have played in the cultivation of human rights in the past and to lay claim to familiar principles and practices within these traditions that are conducive to the development of human rights in the future" (The Journal of Religious Ethics, Vol. 26, No. 2 (Fall, 1998), pp. 257-262.)

Read John 13-17. 14:8-11, 14:16-18, 14:20-23, 14:26, 15:26, 16:7-11, 16:12-15, 1:20-23.
One modern Western way of reading the Bible is to find “propositions” (declarative statements of truth about any state of affairs). Then, from the discovered propositions, inferences are made, conclusions are drawn, formal organized statements of beliefs are created (doctrines).
It is inevitable for the human mind to do this. Another way to interact with the Scriptures is to allow them to become a means by which the reader has an encounter with The Person(s) of God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). The Person centered approach does not deny the Propositional way, rather, it allows the propositions made in Scriptures to become the supernatural ladder by which we climb and interact with God, Person(s) to person.
The writings of John will serve as the introduction to the Person(s) centered approach to the words of God as the means by which we get to know personally (not just about) the Persons of God, and especially Jesus as The Word.

NOTE FROM DR. GEIB:
Dear Westminster Class:
I made an inadvertent mistake today. I meant to say that certain followers of Islam associate the coming of the Messiah with the coming of Jesus as well, and it will be Jesus that destroys the forces of evil. I appear to have said that certain followers of Islam think that Jesus is the coming Messiah, which I did not mean to say or imply. Thanks for your patience, Agape
John

Experiencing God
Your image of God creates you. Richard Rohr
Scripture has the ability to move us toward transformation of both the self and history. The challenge is that we often prefer to tackle the text, rather than allowing the text to shape and form us.
As Richard Rohr writes: The low level substitute for this true personal transformation is to settle for automatic and magical "transactions" (do this, don't do that, believe this, practice a certain ritual in this exact way, belong to the right group, etc.). This has allowed untransformed people to think they are much farther along the path than they really are because they perform the right "transactions."
In other words, deep understanding of Scripture cannot happen until you have also experienced God actively and lovingly working in your own life! Then it all begins to make sense. Without experiencing God, Scripture interpretation is often lethal and egocentric, and it becomes false power instead of the vulnerable powerlessness we need to know God.
To further your study:
Read Matthew 14 Study the image of God and Man from the Sistine Chapel. Study of the crucifixion image of Grunewald above Karl Barth's desk. Study the Chagal image of God as Trinity. Study the Rembrandt painting Return of the Prodigal Son. The paintings of Daniel Bonnell.

How does the sacrifice "work"?
- The worshipper "brings near" the animal.
- The worshipper lays hands on the head of the animal and confesses sin. (The innocent animal and the sinful worshipper are joined.
- The worshipper himself kills the animal.
- The priest puts the blood against the altar on all sides..
- The priest burns on the altar the whole animal.
- Disposal of the rest of the carcass

Superiority of Jesus to Angels
- Jesus is heir to all the promises to David.
- David himself testifies to the Son's superiority.
- The Son as Creator and Lord is superior to any mere messenger (angellos = messenger) or servant.
- Therefore, revelation by the Son is far superior to revelation by angels.
- We, not angels, are fellow heirs with the Son to the kingdom of God.
Deuteronomy 33:20-24.
Superiority of Jesus to Moses
- Moses was faithful in God's house as a servant.
- Jesus is faithful over God's house as a Son and as the builder.
- We are God's house [hold], and fellow heirs with Christ; Provided - -
- We remain believing.

Breaking Out Hebrews 1:1-3
Past revelation, verse 1
- God Spoke
- To our ancestors
- By the prophets
- Long ago
- At many times - to different contexts, to different parts of Judaism: just getting a piece of the picture. None of the prophets had the whole picture or see God clearly.
BUT NOW, verse 2a
- God has spoken
- To us
- In these last days (now in these latter days)
- By His Son - not by prophets, but speaking through a person
The Person of the Son, verse 3:a
- The radiance of the glory of God - appeared to them in light in clouds - that was Jesus himself not in incarnate form.
- The exact imprint of his nature - Jesus perfectly expresses God's own nature. Jesus can therefore speak completely authoritatively.
The work of the Son in creation, verses 2b, 3b
- Through whom God created the world
- Appointed the heir of all things
- He upholds the universe by the word of his power.
The work of the Son in redemption, verse 3c
- Having made purification for sins - by sacrifice through Jesus.
- He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high. Jesus is the great high priest who will intervene for us.
“Shadows and Reality: The Letter to The Hebrews in a Postmodern Age" taught by Zev Rosenberg & John David Geib.Four themes:
-
The unchanging Heavenly realm is far more real than the changeable earthly realm.
-
The Earthly realm contains mere copies of the archetypal realities in the Heavenly realm.
-
All earthly events, including those of the "Last Days", are already realized in the Heavenly realm.
-
Allegorical interpretation of Scriptures.

St. Augustine The Literal Meaning of Genesis, Book 1, Chapter 19:
- Usually, even a non-Christian knows something about the earth, the heavens, and the other elements of this world, about the motion and orbit of the stars and even their size and relative positions, about the predictable eclipses of the sun and moon, the cycles of the years and the seasons, about the kinds of animals, shrubs, stones, and so forth, and this knowledge he holds to as being certain from reason and experience. Now, it is a disgraceful and dangerous thing for an infidel to hear a Christian, presumably giving the meaning of Holy Scripture, talking nonsense on these topics; and we should take all means to prevent such an embarrassing situation, in which people show up vast ignorance in a Christian and laugh it to scorn. The shame is not so much that an ignorant individual is derided, but that people outside the household of faith think our sacred writers held such opinions, and, to the great loss of those for whose salvation we toil, the writers of our Scripture are criticized and rejected as unlearned men.
If they find a Christian mistaken in a field in which they themselves know well and hear him maintaining his foolish opinions about our books, how are they going to believe those books in matters concerning the resurrection of the dead, the hope of eternal life, and the kingdom of heaven, when they think their pages are full of falsehoods on facts which they themselves have learnt from experience and the light of reason? Reckless and incompetent expounders of Holy Scripture bring untold trouble and sorrow on their wiser brethren when they are caught in one of their mischievous false opinions and are taken to task by those who are not bound by the authority of our sacred books. For then, to defend their utterly foolish and obviously untrue statements, they will try to call upon Holy Scripture for proof and even recite from memory many passages which they think support their position, although "they understand neither what they say nor the things about which they make assertion."

Dr. John David Geib - The Logos Institute
"Early this Christmas morning, here under these ruins, in the lovely little stone chapel built 600 years ago, we began the day with our Christmas communion, worshiping the Christ, as joyfully as ever before. What we want to tell the world is this: that with Christ born again in our hearts today, we are trying, hard as it may be, to banish all thoughts of revenge. We are going to try to make a kinder, simpler, a more Christ-Child-like sort of world in the days beyond this strife."
Provost R.T. Howard
“While my brother worked at his musical setting, I paced back and forth on the front porch, repeating the lines over and over to myself, going through all the agony and ecstasy of creating. As I worked through the opening and middle lines of the last stanza, I could not keep back the tears, and made no effort to do so. I was experiencing the transports of the poet’s ecstasy. Feverish ecstasy was followed by that contentment — that sense of serene joy — which makes artistic creation the most complete of all human experiences. When I had out the last stanza down on paper, I at once recognized the Kiplingesque touch in the two longer lines; but I knew that in the stanza the American Negro was, historically and spiritually, immanent; and I decided to let it stand as written.”
Abraham Lincoln
“We are indeed going through a fiery trial. In the very responsible position in which I happen to be placed, being a humble instrument in the hands of our Heavenly Father, as I am, to work out His great purposes, I have desired that all my acts may be according to His will, and that it might be so I have sought His aid; but if, after endeavoring to do my best in the light which He affords me, I find my efforts fail, I must believe that for some purpose unknown to me He wills it otherwise. If I had had my way, this war would never have been commenced. If I had been allowed my way, this war would have been ended before this; but we find it still continues, and we must believe that He permits it for some wise purpose of His own, mysterious and unknown to us; and though with our limited understandings we may not be able to comprehend it, yet we cannot but believe that He who made the world still governs it.” — October 26, 1862

“We are against the traffick of men Body: Is there any that would be done or handled at this manner, to be sold or made a slave for all the time of his life? Most Negers are brought hither against their will & consent; many of them are stolen. Now, tho’ they are black, we cannot conceive there is more liberty to have them slaves, as it is to have other white ones. That we shall do to all men, like as we will be done our selves; making no difference of what generation, descent, or Colour they are. Here is liberty of Conscience, wch is right & reasonable; here ought to be likewise liberty of ye body, except of evildoers. But to bring men hither, or to rob and sell them against their will, we stand against. In Europe there are many oppressed for Conscience sake; and here there are those oppressed wch are of a black Colour.”
