Satanic may be too harsh. I think many mean well. Musing over how jesus can be God at the same time as having a God and Jesus' and his God's relationship isn't bad or evil. It's just that when the explanation of that relationship becomes more salvational than love your neighbor and love your enemy and feeding the poor and preaching Jesus the son of God and him crucified and resurrected then something is amiss.
I think we should be concerned with the things God is concerned with and if our concerns are elsewhere then somethings amiss. Truth itself is fine and good but idolizing truth is bad. God is truth but searching after truth for truth's sake is not what God is concerned with. He's concerned with the lost. He's concerned with those trying to live for him. He's concerned for the hungry. He's concerned for the needy. He's concerned with the broken. He's concerned with us living right. He's concerned with true holiness.
I think we should always ask ourselves, is God concerned with this? And if God's not very concerned with it then we need to ask, why am I? I think God's most concerned with the things that profit us and that allow us to be a profit to someone else. Don't you?
The gospel isn't about truth for truth's sake. It isn't about having the right set of core beliefs so we can be saved. It's not about belief at all other than belief in God and Jesus. The gospel starts off telling us what Christ has done for us and it ends with a question: what will you do for Christ?
