Lawyers, Fathers Seek to Ban Self-Proclaimed Pedophile From Community

 

Friday , August 03, 2007

 

A self-proclaimed pedophile who posted pictures of little girls to his Web

site and made blood boil by insisting he was within the law to do so soon

may find himself in the center of another uncomfortable dialogue: whether he

will be banned from a community.

 

Two California lawyers on Friday were scheduled in court to seek a

temporary restraining order to keep Larry Jackowski ,(aka St. Jackanapes),

away from the Santa Clarita Valley area, ABC7.com reports.

"We're firmly convinced that he creates a clear and present danger and a

risk to our daughters and to the children in this community, and he stated that

he's coming back," said lawyer Richard Patterson, who along Anthony

Zinnanti is seeking the restraining order. Both have daughters.

 

Jackowski says he is innocent.

 

"All I can say is I've done nothing illegal since I've been here in California,

the whole state. My conscience is clear. I'm just going to keep on keeping

on what I'm doing, obeying the law," he said.

 

Jackowski has insisted he was never sexually abused as a child and said he

created the Web site to promote association, friendship and legal,

consensual cuddling between men and pre-pubescent girls, he said.

 

Earlier this week Jackowski defended his right to post pictures of little girls,

telling FOX News he was considering a lawsuit against the Santa Monica,

Calif., police department for posting his picture on their Web site after he

recently surfaced there.

 

Santa Monica police "questioned me last week in a restaurant, and right

before they left one of the officers asked if they could take my picture," he

said.

 

"I figured this might be beneficial if a child is sexually assaulted in Santa

Monica - they could just pull that out and immediately eliminate me as a

suspect," he said.

 

"I had previously explained to him my concerns about all the threats and

everything and it didn't even enter my mind that they would immediately turn

around and put this out as some kind of a sex offender notification. ... It was

on the Internet the very next day."

 

Warnings that Jackowski had surfaced in Santa Monica spread like wildfire,

with several posting his mug shot along with descriptions of his car - a Blue

1993 Ford Escort two-door with Washington license plate - and even

hourly postings of sightings throughout Santa Monica.

 

Circulating a flier with Jackowski's description and a warning of his

whereabouts is unusual for the police considering he's not wanted for any

crime, and has never been convicted of any sexually related crimes. The flier

simply warns parents about Jackowski's residence in the area and of his

proclivity for little girls.

 

When pressed, Jackowski, 45, insisted he was doing nothing wrong by

posting photos of children as young as 3, even admitting that he would have

sex with little girls if it weren't against the law.

 

Jackowski ran the Web site "Seattle-Tacoma-Everett Girl Love" from

where he lived in Washington state, until it was shut down by its server after

widespread public outrage.

 

Wearing his trademark dark sunglasses, which he refused to remove,

Jackowski faced Ron Tebo, a father who created the Web site

http://www.jackJackowski.com to counter the self-proclaimed pedophile's actions

and "take traffic away."

 

In a dramatic on-air confrontation, Tebo pressed Jackowski to respond to

allegations that he was still taking pictures of children.

 

"I don't do it anymore," Jackowski said, adding that his latest Web site no

longer was available online.

 

Appearing earlier on "The Morning Show With Mike & Juliet," Jackowski

made this startling admission:

 

"I got to be honest with you - if it was legal and if it was a completely

consensual thing, I could see myself taking it all the way to a sexual" level.

Juliet."

 

Jackowski has never been convicted of a sex crime, and police say they

have had no legal grounds on which to shut down any of his Web sites

because the content and photos posted on them haven't been pornographic.

 

Jackowski tells other pedophiles where to go to be around children -

suggesting swimming pools, parks, elementary-school plays and libraries.

When he was posting photos, they would be pictures he'd snapped when he

was in places where children were gathered.

 

Jackowski even rated his photo shoots - from one to five hearts - for

fellow pedophiles, assigning one heart for places or events that failed to

attract an abundance of little girls, to five hearts for photo shoots offering a

plethora of young children.

 

He has said he is attracted to little girls between the ages of 3 and 11.

 

"My primary physical and emotional attraction is to pre-pubescent girls," he

said on the FOX morning show on Tuesday.

 

FOX News first interviewed Jackowski in March, when he still was in

Washington.

 

"I guess the main thing is I just think they're cute, a lot cuter than women,"

he said then. "I admit there is kind of an erotic arousal there."

 

"I really think a lot of this pedophilia hysteria is overblown. I think there are a

lot of people like me," Jackowski told FOX News in March. "They have the

attraction but they're not going to do anything physical because of the laws.

It just makes me happy to attend these events."

 

Said lawyer-dad Zinnanti: "It's not OK to go out and put those images on

the Internet. It's a blatant violation of the law."

Which is what's in ground beef generally. Read Eric Schlosser for

We call ground beef, minced meat. In our supermarkets, you can watch

them mince the meat and take a dump into it for you in the butchery

which has glass windows and is situated behind the refrigerated

display counters.

Wow, SA is way ahead of us poor overregulated Americans. Most

of the yummy fecal content in hamburger patties here comes from the

slaughterhouses during gutting, when the not so infrequent colon

gets nicked and spills its contents into the abdominal cavity.

Damn the FDA, we want MORE shit in our Big Macs, not less.

Damn the fascist pig bureaucrats, damn them to heck.

Ouch!

 

Wisdom from a Seventh-Century Missionary

 

When Columbanus set out from Bangor somewhere near the end of the

sixth century, 50 years old, after a long career of preparing men for the

mission field, he and his little band were determined to follow Christ

wherever He led, and to proclaim His Kingdom without compromise.

 

That almost got them thrown out and shipped back to Ireland (a divine

breakdown in the vessel carrying the exiles back to Ireland led our hero to

believe God wanted them to stay, which he did, moving on further to the

south). Then, as if it weren't enough to poke his finger in the eye of the

secular authority, he began criticizing the moribund condition of the

Catholic Church in his neck of the woods.

 

He sent letters to at least two popes, declaring that their bishops and

priests weren't doing their job, and encouraging them to do something

about it. Of course, this news got back to the bishops and priests, and they

determined to convene a synod in order to confront this backwoods boy

about how things worked in the Church in Gaul. Only to get this reply:

 

I render thanks to my God, that for my sake so many holy men have been

gathered together to treat of the truth of faith and good works, and, as

befits such, to judge of the matters under dispute with a just judgment,

through senses sharpened to the discernment of good and evil. Would that

you did that more often.

 

Ouch! Wow, what a zinger. He, of course, politely refused to come when

called, and instead proceeded to outline for his summoners what they

should be doing instead of seeking some leg up on him. Here is his

peroration:

 

Let each maintain what he has grasped; but let all maintain the gospel, and

both parties [his Celts and the Roman priests], like single harmonious

members of one body, follow Christ the head of all by His own

commands, which were revealed by Him to be accomplished in charity

and peace. And these two cannot be perfectly accomplished, save by truly

humble and unitedly spiritual men, who fulfill Christ's commands, as the

Lord Himself bears witness, If ye love Me, keep My commandments, this

is My commandment, that ye love one another, as I also have loved you,

for in this shall all know that ye are My disciples, if ye love one another.

Thus unity of minds and peace and charity then can be assured, spread

abroad in the bowels of believers by the Holy Ghost, when all alike long to

fulfill the divine commands; for the fiction of peace and charity between the

imperfect will be such as is the measure of disagreement in their practical

pursuits.

 

Ouch! For the non-Celtic reader, here's a paraphrase of that last

paragraph: You talk a good game, about loving me and wanting the best

for me; but if you would just practice what you profess to want to lecture

me about, then we would have no dispute in the first place, and we'd both

be able to get on with the work of the Gospel harmoniously together.

 

If Columbanus is reading this issue of our newsletter, I hope he's pointing

and saying, "Yes, just like that." As John Armstrong exhorts us to work

hard at unity rather than turf-protecting and empire-building; as Bob Lynn

reminds us of what real Gospel love looks like on the ground, where

people live each day; as David Naugle celebrates William Cowper

celebrating the grand redemptive work of Jesus and the coming of His

eschatological Kingdom; as we see hear two young pastors laboring

together to equip the next generation of church planters; and as we

consider two very valuable books for the accomplishing of all the above,

let us accept whatever occasional "Ouch!" may come from our dear

writers and press on with them to discover what God has for each one of

us in furthering the Gospel of His Kingdom, His Son, and His love.

Where Are We Headed

 

In these last days, we are seeing terrorist attacks, earthquakes,

tsunamis, hurricanes, mudslides, and many other natural disasters - the

Lord told us these things must happen, and He compared them to the birth

pangs of a woman. We see these events getting worse, seemingly with more

frequency. Having said that, these are not the only signs He gave us to

show us when His return would be near: There was the sign of knowledge

increasing; people traveling more often and to greater distances Dan 12:4

; the persecution of Christians is starting to become a

prophecy-fulfillment, as we see many countries adopting laws prohibiting

Christian activities. We can no longer have the Ten Commandments in some

places; some words, such as Christmas, are now considered offensive; we

see Christian churches accepting homosexual preachers. And there are so

many more things happening that tell us Jesus is coming.

 

One of the reasons I have for writing this book is the fact that there are

many Christians who teach others that they should not study the Book of

Revelation. They give many reasons for this: Some say it's too confusing,

and no one can understand it; others say it's not meant to be read. While

the excuses are never- ending, I'm here to tell you three reasons why you

should study the Book of Revelation.

 

First, Revelation is the only book with the promise of being blessed if

you read it. Rev. i:3 Blessed is he who reads the words of this

prophecy... God does not change His mind - whoever reads His Revelation

will be blessed. Yet we still see people teaching that we should not study

this book. God knew that would happen, so He promised a blessing for those

of us who read it, who hear it and, of course, for those who adhere to

that which is in it.

 

The second reason to study the book is that it is the Revelation of Jesus

Christ Himself. If you believe in Him, you should read His revelation. He

told John to write it because He had you in mind. Consider it a letter

directly from Jesus to you. When I read it, I realize He wrote it with a

desire for me to read it. And as I read it, I'm also blessed knowing He is

showing me things that the Old Testament prophets would have loved to have

read and understood.

 

The third reason to study the book is that prophecy glorifies God when it

is fulfilled. Prophecy is what God promises will happen in the future.

Because we live in time, no man or angel knows the future. God lives in

eternity, allowing Him to see the future and the past as if it is the

present. The prophecy in the Bible proves to us that it could only have

come from God. Some prophets wrote down a prophecy and asked God for the

interpretation, which shows us they were not the authors of the Bible.

When Daniel asked God for the meaning of some prophecies God gave him, God

told him it was not for him to understand; rather, it was for those living

in the last days. Dan 12:8. Having said that, if we read the Book of

Revelation and understand God's prophecies that are about to happen, will

we not give God the glory when they do happen? Of course we will. So as

you see them start to happen, you can tell God, "Lord, you said it would

happen, and it did happen as you said. I give you all the glory."

 

I want to say this to all my brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ: I

believe Jesus Christ is about to return, and I want to challenge you to

read this book so that you may understand some of the signs that are

happening at this very moment in preparation for His return. This book

arranges the prophecies of the Book of Revelation chronologically so that

God's prophecies will be easier to understand. My intentions are to get

you to realize that the Book of Revelation shows us how great and just our

God and Savior is. I truly believe that we are at the brink of the moment

when we will meet Jesus in the air. That's why I felt the need to write

this book.

 

I want to mention that I saw a show on TV in which thousands of Christians

from another country were all worshiping God. Our faith is global, which

has made me realize that when the rapture takes place, millions of us

including, Catholics, Protestants, and all those who believe in Jesus

Christ as their Savior, will meet our King, Jesus Christ, in the air. I

can't wait to be together with all of you in the presence of the One who

made me - He is my hero, Jesus Christ.

 

I want to mention one more thing, today Christians are being tested, we

have seen movies like the passion of the Christ and we can read books like

the Davinci code along with the movie, God is putting the ball in your

court and He wants to know if you will you believe in Christ as God the

Son and as your savior or will you doubt in Him? It's your decision, and I

hope that after reading this book you will be able to make a clear

decision in accepting Jesus as your savior and that you will believe

everything that He said about Himself.

 

Let me give you the example of the two thieves on the cross; when Jesus

was crucified two thieves were crucified next to Him, they both knew that

Jesus was claiming to be the Christ, but they saw that He was about to

die, and so one of them said; if you are the Christ; come down, save

yourself and save us, in other words; if you are really the Christ why are

you on the cross? There is no way that I will believe in you or in what

you say since you are about to die, and we know that the Christ is

supposed to be a King who will live forever and have a kingdom that will

never end. This man made the decision to reject Jesus as his Savior and he

did not believe that He was the Christ. Jesus did not say a word to that

man, but the other thief said; do you not fear God, we deserve death for

our sins but this man has done nothing wrong, Lord, I believe that you are

the Christ even though you are on a cross, I see past the circumstances

and I put my faith in you, so please remember me when you come in your

kingdom, in other words; when you come to be King of this earth, don't

forget about me. Jesus did answer him, He said; today you will be with me

in paradise. Both thieves saw the one who claimed to be the Christ, and

what they saw caused doubts yet one chose not to believe while the other

one believed and is now in paradise, in this life there are a lot of

doubts, what decision will you chose to take?

 

The Promise of His Return

 

John was with the disciples in the presence of the resurrected Christ, and

they asked Jesus if He was finally going to be the King of Israel Jer.

23:5-6 just as the prophets had promised. Acts \-.6-i Then, indeed, these

coming together, they asked Him, saying, Lord, do You at this time restore

the kingdom to Israel? (the disciples asked Him If He would be King now?)

And He said to them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons,

which the Father has put in His own authority (We notice that Jesus did

not deny that He will be King of Israel, but it was not time yet). Acts

i:9-n And saying these things, as they watched, He was taken up. And a

cloud received Him out of their sight. And while they were looking

intently into the Heaven, He having gone, even behold, two men in white

clothing stood beside them, who also said, Men of Galilee, why do you

stand gazing up into the Heaven? This same Jesus who is taken up from you

into Heaven, will come in the way you have seen Him going into Heaven. The

disciples of Jesus Christ were eyewitnesses to His ascension on a cloud

into Heaven, and they had been told that just as Jesus went up into the

clouds, He would return in the clouds. They are the authors of the New

Testament, and they are the ones who tell us of His glorious return in the

clouds, and we are getting close to that day.

 

There are so many verses in the New Testament that say that Jesus will

come in the clouds, and we also see this in the Old Testament, such as in

Dan 7:13 / saw in the night visions, and behold, One like the Son of man

(Jesus) came with the clouds of Heaven, and came to the Ancient of Days

(God the Father), and they brought Him near before Him. The reason He

constantly talks about returning in the clouds is because He wants us to

look up into Heaven in anticipation of His return, so keep your eyes on

Him. He told us to be ready, to watch for His return! This also prevents

us from believing in those who claim to be Jesus Christ since we are told

that He will come in the clouds and every eye will see Him Rev i:7 when He

comes back. That is why no one should have believed David Koresh, and no

one should believe the hundreds of men who today say that they are Jesus

Christ.

 

THE PROMISE:

 

JESUS WAS TAKEN UP IN THE CLOUDS AND-HE WILL RETURN IN THE CLOUDS

 

I want to explain the whole verse of Revelation 1:7 Behold, He comes with

the clouds, and every eye will see Him, and those who pierced Him will see

Him, and all the kindreds of the earth will wail because of Him. Even so,

Amen. We read that He will come in the clouds and "every eye will see Him"

this includes those who "pierced Him" but those who pierced Christ are

dead, so how is this possible? We must first learn that we all pierced Him

since He died for us in our place, but this scripture is also speaking of

those who rejected Him and are now dead, they will be able to see Him from

hell because they are not limited to the earthly eyes which can only see

within a short distance, God will allow them to see our Lord who they

rejected, when He takes those Christians who trusted in Him and in His

promises. As they see this event happen they will be filled with sorrow

along with those on earth watching the saints rejoicing as Christ receives

them and gives them white robes while those who rejected Him cannot have

part in this awesome event known as the rapture that is why we read "all

the kindreds of the earth will wail because of Him." All those who did not

believe in the Word of God will realize that His promises were true but it

will be too late for them. Hopefully you will not be one of those wailing

but rather one of those caught up to meet Jesus in the air. 1 Th 4:17 Then

we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the

clouds, to meet the Lord in the air. And so we shall ever be with the

Lord. Do not miss out on this event!

 

The idea that someone can see far distances is not unbiblical for we see

that Stephen who was on earth saw Jesus standing at the right hand of God

in Heaven. Act 7:55 But being full of the Holy Spirit, looking up intently

into Heaven, he saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand

of God. Act 7:56 And he said, Behold, I see Heaven opened and the Son of

Man standing on the right hand of God. This proves that those who pierced

Jesus will indeed see Him from hell when He raptures the church.

Where Are We Headed

 

In these last days, we are seeing terrorist attacks, earthquakes,

tsunamis, hurricanes, mudslides, and many other natural disasters - the

Lord told us these things must happen, and He compared them to the birth

pangs of a woman. We see these events getting worse, seemingly with more

frequency. Having said that, these are not the only signs He gave us to

show us when His return would be near: There was the sign of knowledge

increasing; people traveling more often and to greater distances Dan 12:4

; the persecution of Christians is starting to become a

prophecy-fulfillment, as we see many countries adopting laws prohibiting

Christian activities. We can no longer have the Ten Commandments in some

places; some words, such as Christmas, are now considered offensive; we

see Christian churches accepting homosexual preachers. And there are so

many more things happening that tell us Jesus is coming.

 

One of the reasons I have for writing this book is the fact that there are

many Christians who teach others that they should not study the Book of

Revelation. They give many reasons for this: Some say it's too confusing,

and no one can understand it; others say it's not meant to be read. While

the excuses are never- ending, I'm here to tell you three reasons why you

should study the Book of Revelation.

 

First, Revelation is the only book with the promise of being blessed if

you read it. Rev. i:3 Blessed is he who reads the words of this

prophecy... God does not change His mind - whoever reads His Revelation

will be blessed. Yet we still see people teaching that we should not study

this book. God knew that would happen, so He promised a blessing for those

of us who read it, who hear it and, of course, for those who adhere to

that which is in it.

 

The second reason to study the book is that it is the Revelation of Jesus

Christ Himself. If you believe in Him, you should read His revelation. He

told John to write it because He had you in mind. Consider it a letter

directly from Jesus to you. When I read it, I realize He wrote it with a

desire for me to read it. And as I read it, I'm also blessed knowing He is

showing me things that the Old Testament prophets would have loved to have

read and understood.

 

The third reason to study the book is that prophecy glorifies God when it

is fulfilled. Prophecy is what God promises will happen in the future.

Because we live in time, no man or angel knows the future. God lives in

eternity, allowing Him to see the future and the past as if it is the

present. The prophecy in the Bible proves to us that it could only have

come from God. Some prophets wrote down a prophecy and asked God for the

interpretation, which shows us they were not the authors of the Bible.

When Daniel asked God for the meaning of some prophecies God gave him, God

told him it was not for him to understand; rather, it was for those living

in the last days. Dan 12:8. Having said that, if we read the Book of

Revelation and understand God's prophecies that are about to happen, will

we not give God the glory when they do happen? Of course we will. So as

you see them start to happen, you can tell God, "Lord, you said it would

happen, and it did happen as you said. I give you all the glory."

 

I want to say this to all my brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ: I

believe Jesus Christ is about to return, and I want to challenge you to

read this book so that you may understand some of the signs that are

happening at this very moment in preparation for His return. This book

arranges the prophecies of the Book of Revelation chronologically so that

God's prophecies will be easier to understand. My intentions are to get

you to realize that the Book of Revelation shows us how great and just our

God and Savior is. I truly believe that we are at the brink of the moment

when we will meet Jesus in the air. That's why I felt the need to write

this book.

 

I want to mention that I saw a show on TV in which thousands of Christians

from another country were all worshiping God. Our faith is global, which

has made me realize that when the rapture takes place, millions of us

including, Catholics, Protestants, and all those who believe in Jesus

Christ as their Savior, will meet our King, Jesus Christ, in the air. I

can't wait to be together with all of you in the presence of the One who

made me - He is my hero, Jesus Christ.

 

I want to mention one more thing, today Christians are being tested, we

have seen movies like the passion of the Christ and we can read books like

the Davinci code along with the movie, God is putting the ball in your

court and He wants to know if you will you believe in Christ as God the

Son and as your savior or will you doubt in Him? It's your decision, and I

hope that after reading this book you will be able to make a clear

decision in accepting Jesus as your savior and that you will believe

everything that He said about Himself.

 

Let me give you the example of the two thieves on the cross; when Jesus

was crucified two thieves were crucified next to Him, they both knew that

Jesus was claiming to be the Christ, but they saw that He was about to

die, and so one of them said; if you are the Christ; come down, save

yourself and save us, in other words; if you are really the Christ why are

you on the cross? There is no way that I will believe in you or in what

you say since you are about to die, and we know that the Christ is

supposed to be a King who will live forever and have a kingdom that will

never end. This man made the decision to reject Jesus as his Savior and he

did not believe that He was the Christ. Jesus did not say a word to that

man, but the other thief said; do you not fear God, we deserve death for

our sins but this man has done nothing wrong, Lord, I believe that you are

the Christ even though you are on a cross, I see past the circumstances

and I put my faith in you, so please remember me when you come in your

kingdom, in other words; when you come to be King of this earth, don't

forget about me. Jesus did answer him, He said; today you will be with me

in paradise. Both thieves saw the one who claimed to be the Christ, and

what they saw caused doubts yet one chose not to believe while the other

one believed and is now in paradise, in this life there are a lot of

doubts, what decision will you chose to take?

 

The Promise of His Return

 

John was with the disciples in the presence of the resurrected Christ, and

they asked Jesus if He was finally going to be the King of Israel Jer.

23:5-6 just as the prophets had promised. Acts \-.6-i Then, indeed, these

coming together, they asked Him, saying, Lord, do You at this time restore

the kingdom to Israel? (the disciples asked Him If He would be King now?)

And He said to them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons,

which the Father has put in His own authority (We notice that Jesus did

not deny that He will be King of Israel, but it was not time yet). Acts

i:9-n And saying these things, as they watched, He was taken up. And a

cloud received Him out of their sight. And while they were looking

intently into the Heaven, He having gone, even behold, two men in white

clothing stood beside them, who also said, Men of Galilee, why do you

stand gazing up into the Heaven? This same Jesus who is taken up from you

into Heaven, will come in the way you have seen Him going into Heaven. The

disciples of Jesus Christ were eyewitnesses to His ascension on a cloud

into Heaven, and they had been told that just as Jesus went up into the

clouds, He would return in the clouds. They are the authors of the New

Testament, and they are the ones who tell us of His glorious return in the

clouds, and we are getting close to that day.

Who Do Your Books Say That I Am?

 

New volumes tell much about our Lord--and our cultural moment.

 

There were 17,249 books about Jesus in the Library of Congress as of

2004, and their number, as this essay attests, continues to climb. Who do

people say the Son of Man is?

 

It may well be that these thousands of pages have only intensified our

longing for viva vox, the living voice. It is a voice that cuts through our

misery and darkness, our pluralizing cacophony-even, yes, our screens

and reams of print-with the authority and exuberance of Life itself.

Amid the din of our age, we listen and we wait for the voice of life.

 

Turning and Churning to Jesus

 

Viva vox was actually a byword for historians in the ancient world. When

given a choice, they opted for eyewitnesses over written sources. They

strongly preferred relying on those whose hands had touched and ears

had heard critical parts of the stories they were intent on preserving. They

fought to get the story right, and so do we.

 

That's the better part of what these Jesus books are about: The stakes, it

nearly goes without saying, could hardly be higher. "If he did what he

said, then it's nothing for you to do but throw away everything and follow

him." So spoke Flannery O'Connor's tortured, violent Misfit in A Good

Man Is Hard to Find. It's wisdom that can't be topped.

 

Given this daunting imperative, it's fortunate that we do a lot of history

these days; indeed, in some ways we in the West are more attuned to

history than ever. With the post-Christian, postmodern collapse of visions

of universal morality and of soaring metanarratives that explain our world

to us from some authoritative vantage, we're left with mere history, with

the highly particular, often idiosyncratic, mainly muddled world of

everyday human experience: fraying families, oppressive principalities, the

occasional sparkle of nobility and grace in some movement or person or

place. As we've spun farther away from our Christian identity and

framework, we've found the need, paradoxically, to reckon with our

past-past foundations, past authorities, past ideals.

 

So in these fracturing United States we turn, stomachs churning, to Jesus

of Nazareth, he whom the historian Richard Wightman Fox, in his book

Jesus in America (HarperSanFrancisco), calls our "single most important

cultural hero." And we turn from different ways and diverging angles.

Marcus Borg, for one, takes the Jesus Seminar to the masses in Jesus:

Uncovering the Life, Teachings, and Relevance of a Religious

Revolutionary (HarperSanFrancisco). Offering us a "Jesus we have never

really met" (at least according to the dust jacket), he, Oxford-trained and

-tested, warns against a "belief-centered" approach to the faith-even as

he confesses his own cardinal beliefs: that "the pre-Easter Jesus was not

God"; that Christ did not perform certain miracles in the Gospels because

accounts of them "violate our sense of the limits of the spectacular"; that

"the Bible and the Gospels (like the sacred scriptures of other religions)

are human responses to the sacred," recording "not what God says, but

what our spiritual ancestors said."

 

There's not much that's original here, as Stephen Prothero makes clear in

American Jesus: How the Son of God Became a National Icon (Farrar,

Straus, and Giroux). In fact, many of Borg's central tenets comport nicely

with the conclusions of the man Prothero deems the father of the

American Jesus: Thomas Jefferson. On lonely evenings in the White

House, he clipped away (literally) any hint of the supernatural from

copies of the Gospels, while reverentially seeking to preserve the true

identity and significance of Jesus (he called him, among other things, "the

most perfect model of republicanism in the universe"). Jefferson's

genealogical connection to today's Jesus Seminar, where skeptical

scholars meet to cast votes on the historical authenticity of the Gospels,

couldn't be clearer. "Its method is democratic, its goal is freedom, and its

obsession is Jesus," Prothero notes.

 

If Jesus and freedom have a profound, if complex, relationship, Jesus and

democracy are considerably more problematic. In the hands of

democrats, Jesus has taken on form after ever-expanding form.

Prothero's quip is cute but discerning: The American Jesus was "born in

Jefferson's White House and raised by evangelical and liberal

Protestants," but then "turned his back on his Christian upbringing and

struck out on his own in multi-religious America."

 

Predictably, as scholarship rooted in traditional Christian affirmations has

deepened, hundreds of books have appeared to combat the wayward

turn of a people that increasingly identify themselves as "spiritual" but not

"religious." The rigor of those mounting arguments is impressive, and the

authors pull no rhetorical punches. In Fabricating Jesus (InterVarsity

Press), Craig A. Evans, New Testament professor at Acadia Divinity

College, places his scholarly bona fides against those of the Jesus

Seminar and calls their errors "egregious and legion." In What Have They

Done with Jesus? (HarperSanFrancisco), the prolific Ben Witherington

III, professor of New Testament at Asbury Theological Seminary,

continues to engage in the Jesus wars. He argues that, contra much

recent scholarship, none of the textual variants of New Testament

writings provide "hard evidence" that "the virginal conception, crucifixion,

bodily resurrection of Jesus, or even the Trinity" were developed much

later by those trying to establish what became known as orthodoxy.

 

Beware the "scholarly consensus" so treasured by critics, these scholars

warn: That consensus is founded on what Witherington dubs the

"'justification by doubt' factor" and conditioned by today's

skeptical-indeed, cynical-climate.

 

In a formidable piece of scholarship, Jesus and the Eyewitnesses

(Eerdmans), University of Saint Andrews historian Richard Bauckham

says essentially the same thing. He meticulously rips away what he

regards as specious modern conceptions of the ancient world. The

eyewitnesses to the life of Christ-the living voices-"remained

accessible sources and authoritative guarantors of their own testimony

throughout the period between Jesus and the writing of the Gospels," he

contends. He wants to dispel the still-dominant impression that there

existed a "long period of creative development of the traditions before

they attained written form in the Gospels." This view, he declares, is no

longer defensible, and he provides a plausible account of real people

living in actual communities who devoted themselves to preserving a

record of truly remarkable events.

 

Faith and Doubt

 

"It is hard to see," says Bauckham, "how Christian faith and theology can

work with a radically distrusting attitude to the Gospels." Risking

opprobrium in the land of "scholarly consensus," Bauckham,

Witherington, and Evans badly want this faith and theology to work.

They want to permit its living voice to speak into an age cluttered with

voices. Our minds addled and our hearts tethered, we listen desperately

for the voice that whispers our name, that tells us who we are and what

we are for, that frees us from a way of life that teaches little about life.

 

Not surprisingly, it is a pastoral burden that drives many Jesus writers,

the desire not to clear away scholarly debris so much as to recover Jesus

as a touchstone-the one, the only one, capable of correcting our error

and folly, of restoring our lost identity. If our understanding of Jesus is our

most important measure, then much hangs on the quality of that

understanding. CT managing editor Mark Galli, in Jesus Mean and Wild

(Baker), reacts against contemporary conceptions of a "kind, benevolent

being who knows nothing of discipline, character, or tough love." Could

this image possibly square with the Gospel accounts of Christ? On pages

alleged to abound with sweetness and light, Galli finds "a tornado

touching down, lifting homes and businesses off their foundations, leaving

only bits and pieces of the former life strewn on his path." So much for

Jesus meek and mild. So much for our cheery, pluralistic faith.

 

For his part, pastor-scholar John Piper unveils a Christ whose authority

forces us to stand and salute-or weep and kneel down. "Jesus is not a

tribal deity," he reminds us in What Jesus Demands from the World

(Crossway). "All authority in the universe is his; all creation owes its

allegiance to him." This is a Jesus who doesn't roam the pages of the

Gospels-he haunts them, with an authority that hits people like an arctic

blast, freezing them to a standstill, snapping their heads around. The

parade of folk in Matthew 8, for example-the leprous, the infirm, the ill,

a Roman officer, would-be disciples, demons, even the elements-treat

him, remarkably, as if he is, indeed, the one in whom all things consist.

No wonder that chapter closes with a "whole town" assembling to "plead

with him to leave their region."

 

If Piper and Galli are right, it's this voice, with an authority strangely

divine and strangely human, that we outrageously free postmoderns must

finally confront, whether we wish to or not. We, mere creatures who

consist only in Christ, have no choice in this matter-no "freedom" to

ignore Christ, whatever our national constitutions or political philosophies

may proclaim.

 

The contrast of this Christ to the Jesus of our times, the Jesus of Marcus

Borg, could not be more stark. By Borg's lights, if Christ is God "it

makes no sense to speak of imitating him and becoming like him," for it is

a human guide that we need, one whom we stand a chance of emulating.

But surely Borg has misread our deepest need. Lost in the darkness of

our corruption, straining toward a light we seem to glimpse only in

dreams, we cry, in blessed moments of repentance, for one strong

enough to restore us to our truest creaturely shape-the shape of real

freedom. Only this Christ, this divine and human Christ, can elevate the

bar high enough to show us just how short we fall. Only this Christ has

the strength to correct us, through the sensitized love of his own

profoundly human prayers. We're talking about one whose spiritual

portfolio contains far more than "an enlightened experience of the

sacred"-Borg's description of Jesus' attainment.

 

Piper's concerns about the effects of Borg's Jesus on the world are worth

hearing. Having completed a doctorate in New Testament studies at the

University of Munich in the 1970s, Piper wonders about Borg's world.

He poignantly asks, "Who of us today can give any serious account" of

the "cutting-edge reconstructions" of Jesus that were then au courant? "I

estimate most of the fruit of those quests," he concludes, "to be unreliable

and unusable to accomplish what Jesus aims to accomplish in this world."

 

It's a world that has suffered immeasurably in its rejection of him and his

plan, as our lives too quickly make plain. It's a world he still longs to

embrace with healing, unifying, truth-telling love. And it's this vision for

the world that animates CT senior writer Tim Stafford's splendid

Surprised by Jesus (InterVarsity Press)-the pristine prose and striking

argument of which could make it a candidate to revolutionize any number

of small-group studies in churches around the nation, and, indeed, the

world. Stafford pounds home the basic point that Jesus' message did not

consist of "lofty truths about the nature of reality" or ruminations reflecting

"the eternal present of religious consciousness." His was, instead, a call to

align ourselves to "God's action in time and space." In an age bogged

down, distracted, and forlorn, Stafford presents a simple and radical

banner for the church to wave and enact: "Jesus is changing the world.

Come and see."

 

Most fundamentally, he writes, "Jesus came to announce and to create a

renewed people under God." This long-awaited renewal-our

renewal-comes only in particular, concrete, historical ways, ever

reflecting, by his grace, the deep and true humanity of the Son of God, he

who came eating and drinking, arguing and listening, blessing and dying.

For all of his authority, "What distinguished Jesus," Stafford wryly notes,

"was not his cosmopolitan outlook." He was a man of the people. He

was a man for the people. He is the living voice, who to the weary and

heavy-laden says gently, "Come."
