#JohnDominicCrossan: "Jesus lived, against systemic injustice & structural evil,...an alternative open to all...: open healing & shared eating, radical intimacy, programmatic homelessness, & fundamental egalitarianism, human contact w/o discrimination, & divine contact w/o hierarchy." bit.ly/453ossb
#JohnDominicCrossan: "If #Jesus had been only a matter of words or ideas, the Romans would probably have ignored him. His #Kingdom movemt, however, w/ its healings & exorcisms, was action & practice, not just thought & theory." bit.ly/453ossb
#MarcusBorg & #JohnDominicCrossan interpret Jesus' #PalmSunday procession as an "anti-imperial, anti-triumphal...lampoon of the conquering emperor entering a city on horseback." #NOKINGS offered lampoons at a wannabe emperor w/o clothes, wearing his narcissism proudly for all to see. bit.ly/4thrZw2
This is beyond important. If #ChristianNationalist #Zionism has taken over the U.S. military we are indeed cooked. Orders will be "legal"; dissent suppressed; "Piety-war-victory-peace" the imperial mantra. #johnDominicCrossan #BibleSearchandRescue

May explain how/why Western Christianity misconstrued what Resurrection means. #JohnDominicCrossan "Paul the Pharisee."
Jesus called for nonviolent resistance to Rome and just distribution of land and food. He was crucified because he threatened Roman stability – not as a sacrifice to God for humanity’s sins. -John Dominic Crossan
