Christian Freedom

Luke 4:14-21 (New Living Translation) (The Message) (Amplified Bible)

Some Christians in their religious extremism often support their prejudices and intolerance in the biblical text that presents Jesus reading the words of Isaiah: "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor, to proclaim deliverance to the captives and to healing to the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord."
These brothers and sisters, feeling themselfs called to be gospel warriors of the faith, start their personal crusades to fight those who, in their eyes, are wicked sinners.
Jesus -although I feel He was a revolutionary revolutionary- was not, nor ever consider himself a leader or a defender of religion, church and even faith.
Gospel is not a Christian but Roman political concept.
The "Roman gospels" were documents that were read in public squares.
Gospel means "good news."
The "good news" of Caesar were a list of promises that the emperor made to a certain village.
That list included both promises to fulfill and promises already fulfilled.
The "Roman gospels" served to show the emperor's favor.
When we read the Christian Gospels with a critical and pragmatic perspective far beyond from religious, ecclesial and moral fanaticism actually we discover that Jesus came to bring he great promises of God's grace to all those who believe in Him (God) also to the despised, to those considered not a person.
He came in to life to liberate them from the prison of the human precepts of religion, to open their eyes to the truth of what God really cares, to take away the oppression of dogmatic and spiritual ignorance and show them the infinite God's mercy and God's great capacity for forgiveness, which also includes them.
