"Jesus wasn't a Christian. He was a Jew," starts Giles Fraser in his Comment Is Free article Embrace Freedom.
In other news today, the Pope is set to give a speech on which denomination he feels more drawn to, while there is new evidence that bears often get caught short in areas densely populated by trees.
Actually, Fraser's article makes for interesting reading:
"Are you saved?" ask evangelicals, as if the question's meaning is obvious... Saved from death, from sin, from the devil, from meaninglessness, from error, from guilt, from hell, from God's wrath - the list is endless.
"For Jews the answer is clear: saved from captivity."
He says we should be banging on a lot more about human freedom because Christianity is, essentially, kinda Jewish-lookin'. Fraser hardly sits on the fence when it comes to religion, so he's often worth a read. Look with your eyes here.
Oh and if any Sanctus 1 blog readers want to start a long, drawn-out debate on penal substitution, here's the place to do it because, quite frankly, I don't know what to think.

There were some pretty heated comments on the letters page yesterday about this article...
