man made god

As a family, I feel that the existence of Jesus Christ is inherently contradictory. I have always believed that if there is a god in the world, he would definitely not choose human beings as agents, because the conflict between divinity and humanity will never stop, and human beings who have been endowed with divinity are already weak in reconciling their own struggles, let alone Redeem the world.
Jesus in the film is depicted as a "superhero", and he gradually assumes the responsibility of transcending human beings in the choice of being a human being. Properties need to coexist, but not simultaneously. Just like Alan Moore's "Watchmen", we see so many questions and ironies, but they are all "human" wills. We say that Rorschach can't become Batman, and Doctor Manhattan is not Superman, but Jesus crucified But it is equivalent to asking "Clark Kent" of "Daily Planet" to do what "Superman" wants to do, not that it can't be done, but doing so will throw the concept out of balance.
So I secretly thought that this was the most sincere and true story of the sacrifice of Christ.
The so-called voluntary sacrifices are mostly forced step by step. And the happiness and redemption in front of him are nothing but the undoing of redemption in the mirror. Reminds me of what a Hong Kong film said at the end: those who obey the destiny. Sadness, those who resist the destiny. die. In the film, Jesus, who repented in the sea of ​​fire, was nothing but a monkey grandson whose pipa bones were locked. After five hundred years, he folded his hands together, and he became enlightened. He said that I am a merciful Buddha.
Judge of all the earth, will he not do justice? For an individual, justice is just one random coin toss, and even if the overall trend is equality, it will not solve any problem in the individual. We are simply immersed in the torrent of group consciousness, and we push that torrent to overwhelm our former selves. This is called "God is with us" and that's why "God is always on our side". So all along, what we fight against and what we comply with is not the will of God, but the will of others. But the human heart is so arrogant and domineering, even if there is a "God" in the world, the "high above" will only be "us".

The Last Temptation of Christ quotes

  • Jesus: Today and tomorrow I cast out demons and work cures. On the third day, I will be perfected.

  • Jesus: Judas, my brother, I have something to tell you. I have a terrible secret from God. You know why I came to Jerusalem?

    Judas: Yes. This is where the revolution is going to begin.

    Jesus: Last night, Isaiah came to me. He had a prophecy, I saw it written. It said, "He has borne our faults; he was wounded for our transgressions, yet he opened now his mouth. Despised and rejected by all, he went forward without resisting, like a lamb led to the slaughter."

    Judas: I don't understand.

    Jesus: Judas, I am the lamb. I'm the one who's going to do.

    Judas: Die? You mean you're not the Messiah?

    Jesus: I Am.

    Judas: That can't be. If you're the Messiah, why do you have to die?

    Jesus: Listen, at first, I didn't understand myself...

    Judas: No, *you* listen. Every day, you have a different plan. First it's love, then the ax, and now you have to die. What good could that do?

    Jesus: God only talks to me a little at a time and tells me as much as I need to know.

    Judas: We need you alive!

    Jesus: Now I finally understand! All my life-all my life, I've been followed by voices, by footsteps, by shadows. And do you know what that shadow is? The cross. I have to die on the cross, and I have to die willingly. We have to go back to the temple.

    Judas: And after you die on the cross, what happens then?

    Jesus: I come back to judge the living and the dead.

    Judas: I don't believe you.

    Jesus: You have to.
