Comments on: The Final Deposition: Pilate and the Cynicism of Contemporary Truth Seeking http://www.internetmonk.com/archive/the-final-deposition-pilate-and-the-cynicism-of-contemporary-truth-seeking ...dispatches from the post-evangelical wilderness Sat, 21 Nov 2009 15:47:17 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Anthony http://www.internetmonk.com/archive/the-final-deposition-pilate-and-the-cynicism-of-contemporary-truth-seeking/comment-page-1#comment-126847 Anthony Tue, 28 Aug 2007 21:07:33 +0000 http://www.internetmonk.com/archive/the-final-deposition-pilate-and-the-cynicism-of-contemporary-truth-seeking#comment-126847 I'm preparing a sermon on Jesus' trial before Pilate and came across this post from last year through a Yahoo! search. You had some great insights, inspired by Witherington. (It's only original if you can't remember who you got it from.) I'll have a look at your other posts, though I can't promise to be a regular. My Bloglines already has quite a backlog. I’m preparing a sermon on Jesus’ trial before Pilate and came across this post from last year through a Yahoo! search.

I've been going through a time where I examine postmodernism and Jesus. THe two subjects have some interesting things to say about the other. Thanks for your thoughts on truth.

It is excellent and very thought provoking. I had a friend once who said, when pressed about Christ, "That's fine for you, but it's not for me." I returned that there could not be multiple realities, which countered what she said but also made her angry. If I could do it over again now, I would say something more like - "Do you remember the trial of Jesus by Pilate? He also wished for truth to me flexible; he asked, 'What is truth?' and washed his hands of Truth. Will you do the same thing?" Thank you for this essay. It is excellent and very thought provoking.

Jesus is messy and causes messes, so we generally remove him from the equation if he doesn't support and endorse our agendas.
