Astonished Hearts, with C. Baxter Kruger
12,140 views
In this opening lecture, of the Undiluted Gospel series, Baxter lays out the foundations of what he calls the “Undiluted Gospel,” drawing deeply from the Gospel of John and the ancient Christian vision of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Rather than beginning with religious systems, techniques, performance, or separation from God, Baxter asks us to begin with the person of Jesus, and to discover who He is, what He has done, and what has happened to us in Him.
From John 5, John 14, and the opening of John’s Gospel, Baxter explores the profound reality of Christ in us, our inclusion in the life of the Trinity, and the Father’s unwavering love for humanity.
This opening lecture sets the foundation for the journey ahead: the recovery of the ancient Gospel, the real presence of Jesus Christ, and the astonishing truth that we are not trying to make something happen but rather, in Jesus Christ, it has already happened.

This deity doesn't seem to understand the meaning of the word Justice. He plans for millions of people to be born in a place where they will never hear the gospel. He's planning for millions of people to be born just to go straight to eternal torture.
He planned for five global resets that wiped out 99% of all species to ever walk the earth and tens of millions of miscarriages in the human race alone when he could have planned for them to not get pregnant in the first place if he didn't want them to have children. He plans for 10 million children to die horribly every single year of hunger and disease.
Or else he doesn't exist and there is nobody steering the ship. Wait, hold on, that just makes many orders of magnitude more sense than any hypothesis that involves an omniscient planner. Come to think of it, any hypothesis that involves an omniscient planner sounds completely batshit insane in the face of these realities.
