Why is it that when we explain the faith to someone - we immediately want to bring them to the incarnation and Jesus on the cross instead of back to where Paul did - creation. Isn't that the place where most world-views differ the most? Could it be that if a "pagan" understood the creation narrative and the ramifications of a teleological existence that we could then bring in the incarnation and cross and it make more sense? Do we just jump to the middle of the story? Is it like watching "The Two Towers" in the middle for 5 minutes and not understanding the story or the characters?
Wondering... still trying to listen - but failing fast. Want to talk tooo much!!
