Join The Underlines // The Best Of What I Read
A batch of the best highlights from what Joshua's read, .
Our slave-soul’s need to work, work, work for absolution must end. Our wandering as lost orphans must come to an end. The only way to see the ending of these things is not in warring against them to defeat them head on, rather it is by turning our attention to the privilege and favor of sonship. Sonship will displace the other broken self-views with such powerful force that they shatter and scatter into the wake behind our new lives moving forward in Christ.

For other religious movements of the day, such as Mithraism or the cult of Jupiter Dolichenus, for example, there are the remains of numerous shrines and dedicatory inscriptions but no texts.46 For early Christianity, however, there are no known church structures or inscriptions prior to sometime in the third century AD, but there is this huge catalogue of texts. This is yet another indication that early Christianity was different from at least most other religious groups of the time.
