the Church has never been able to get entirely away from the revolutionary spirit of Jesus. It is an essential doctrine of Christianity that the world is fundamentally good and practically bad, for it was made by God, but is now controlled by sin. If a man wants to be a Christian, he must stand over against things as they are and condemn them in the name of that higher conception of life which Jesus revealed. If a man is satisfied with things as they are, he belongs to the other side. For many centuries THE SOCIAL AIMS OF JESUS 9I the Church felt so deeply that the Christian conception of life and the actual social Hfe are incompatible, that any one who wanted to live the genuine Christian hfe, had to leave the world and hve in a monastic community. Protestantism has abandoned the monastic life and settled down to live in the world. If that imphes that it accepts the present condition as good and final, it means a silencing of its Christian protest and its surrender to "the world." There is another alternative. Ascetic Christianity called the world evil and left it. Humanity is waiting for a revolutionary Christianity which wiU call the world evil and change it. We do not want "to blow all our existing institutions to atoms," but we do want to remould every one of them. A tank of gasolene can blow a car sky-high in a single explosion, or push it to the top of a hill in a perpetual succession of little explosions. We need a combination beween the faith of Jesus in the need and the possibility of the kingdom of God, and the modern comprehension of the organic development of human society. We saw at the outset of our discussion that Jesus was not a mere social reformer. Rehgion was the heart of his life, and all that he said on social relations was said from the religious point of view. He has been called the first socialist. He was more ; he was the first real man, the inaugurator of a new humanity. But as such he bore within him the germs of a new social and political order.... N

12 sentences. THIS IS JESUS, the first I've ever seen it spoken, in all my years.

Beyond the question of economic distribution lies the question of moral relations; and beyond the moral relations to men lies the question of the religious communion with that spiritual reality in which we live and move and have our deep- est being — with God, the Father of our spirits. Jesus had V realized the life of God in the soul of man and the life of man > in the love of God. That was the real secret of his life, the well-spring of his purity, his compassion, his unwearied courage, his unquenchable idealism : he knew the Father. But if he had that greatest of all possessions, the real key to the secret of life, it was his highest social duty to share it and help others to gain what he had. He had to teach men to live as children in the presence of their Father, and no longer as slaves cringing before a despot. He had to show them that the ordinary life of selfishness and hate and anxiety and chafing ambition and covetousness is no life at all, and that they must enter into a new world of love and solidarity and inward contentment. There was no service that he could render to men which would equal that. All other help lay in concentric circles about that redemption of the spirit and flowed out from it. No comprehension of Jesus is even approximately true which fails to understand that the heart of his heart was religion. No man is a follower of Jesus in the full sense who has not through him entered into the same life with God. But on the other hand no man shares his life with God whose religion does not flow out, naturally and without ^ effort, into all relations of his life and reconstructs everything — that it touches. Whoever uncouples the religious and the social life has not understood Jesus. Whoever sets any bounds for the reconstructive power of the religious life over THE SOCIAL AIMS OF JESUS 49 the social relations and institutions of men, to that extent denies the faith of the Master.

Private guns are not about keeping your family safe, it's about getting your rocks off on the delusion that you are.

Being friends with is a deadly empowerment of my head and flesh. For my freshman year in college this was miraculously avoided and I was friends to everyone. But then it stopped in the miracle ended and I didn't know why. Similar thing last night. I have more and more respect for the early monasteries. Going to create a place of sanity.

Expected destination for the next couple of days. Chilly but sunny

The outcome of these first historical chapters is that the essential purpose of Christianity was to transform human society into the kingdom of God by regenerating all human relations and reconstituting them in accordance with the will of God. The fourth chapter raises the question why the Christian Church has never undertaken to carry out this fundamental purpose of its existence. I have never met with any previous attempt to give a satisfactory historical explanation of this failure, and I....

The fundamental contribution of every man is the change of his own personality. We must repent of the sins of existing society, cast off the spell of the lies protecting our social wrongs, have faith in a higher social order, and realize in ourselves a new type of Christian manhood which seeks to...... overcome the evil in the present world, not by withdrawing from the world, but by revolutionizing it. If this new type of religious character multiplies among the young men and women, they will change the world when they come to hold the controlling positions of society in their maturer years. They will give a new force to righteous and enlightened public opinion, and will apply the religious sense of duty

Monumentally wrong James was. Rauschenbusch final chapter WOULD SPAWN AN MLK JR.

Regardless of the fault, his or mine about the early chapters, the last chapter is an explosive insightful brilliant situation analysis.

Focused on loving soul for joy all day long. Best day in many many weeks. Lifted almost all other factors. And this makes sense. Soul is the seat of all goodness and attention and learning and acceleration and capacity-building are all the best thing that any of us can do.

Rereading this book, extremely disappointed. It catalyzed Martin Luther King jr., and that's pretty important. But it is about the church, reforming the church. There's no hope in that.

I couldn't stand the middle chapters so I've gone right to the end and will spend a few more hours giving it a chance.

Reading it first 10 years ago or so it was electrifying. Why I found it electrifying I have no idea.

The greatest contribution which any man can make to the social movement is the contribution of a regenerated personality, of a will which sets justice above policy and profit, and of an intellect emancipated from falsehood. Such a man will..... in some measure incarnate the principles of a higher  social order in his attitude to all questions and in all his relations to men, and will be a well-spring of regenerating influences. If he speaks, his judgment will be a corrective force. If he listens, he will encourage the truth-teller and discourage the pedler of adulterated facts and maxims. If others lose heart, he will stay them with his inspired patience. If any new principle is to gain power in human history, it must take shape and life in individuals who have faith in it. The men of faith are the living spirits, the channels by which new truth and power from God enter humanity. To repent of our collective social sins, to have faith in the possibility and reality of a divine life in humanity, to submit the will to the purposes of the kingdom of God, to permit the divine inspiration to emancipate and clarify the moral insight — this is the most intimate duty of the religious man who would help to build the coming Messianic era of mankind.

Trump is a pandemic deadly assault on our souls. James woke from a dream last night where he was trying to please Trump. This is not a joke. This is no joke. He is a deadly infection.

Resurrecting a human soul is of similar magnitude to unlocking the power of an atom. And more difficult. I believe this is a correct analogy. I believe this is what Jesus gave his life to, Gandhi, and others.

This is not a drill. You know that for decades now the elites have accepted earth going to hell and are doing the final rape and pillage of your kids to build their material heaven?

I really did not. Too monstrous for me to imagine. But it is what the elites have always done just on a smaller less final scale.

To torture, rape, plunder, steal Palestine Israel had to infect the world w/ it's absolute immorality, corruption. Total success.

James may have found his North Star.

the [Kingdom of God] in the sense in which Jesus and his audiences understood it almost completely passed out of Christian thought as soon as Christianity passed from the Jewish people and found its spiritual home within the great Graeco-Roman w^orld. The historical basis for the idea was wanting there. The phrase was taken along, just as an emigrant will carry a water-jar with him ; but the water from the well of Bethlehem evaporated and it was now used to dip water from the wells of Ephesus or from the Nile and Tiber. The Greek world cherished no such national religious hope as the prophets had ingrained in Jewish thought on the other hand it was intensely interested in the future life for the individual, and in the ascetic triumph over flesh and matter. Thus the idea which had been the centre of Christ's thought was not at all the centre of the Church's thought, and even the comprehension of his meaning was lost and overlaid. Only some remnants of it persisted in the millennial hope and in the organic conception of the Church, The historical study of our own d

Heartbreaking is not how many evil people there are but how few good ones to stand for their children. Failed species.

The young Martin Luther King was not going to follow his father into the pulpit. He had little use for the Christian church. Then he read this book.

Saving a species with 21st century technology and morality degenerate compared to Aboriginal tribes of thousands of years ago? Oh, it's not going to happen. Hopeless. But saving an individual Soul here or there? Entirely hopeful if we set ourselves to the task.

1.22.20 50 years of missions, James. This is your most difficult by far. Why? What's going on?

Item. Who has ever tried this before? No one that James knows of so far. It may be that many, the LSGIA beings, have pioneered in the direction without knowing it or thinking of it this way. That appears James biggest hope. 

item. Central to this is the notion that Loving propagating loving, loving joy four  spoken of the other day, is the optimal way of being In this world at this time and in the future. As yet James can find no one that has even asked the question, is loving unconditionally and optimal or the optimal experience? For everyone? For some people a? Who has even asked this question ? James knows of no one. Well, maybe Jesus. 

Item. James adulthood was based around the the theory That going towards the "family emergency" Was the joyful way of being. It is very joyful. But that presupposes concrete material conditions in the world that have a chance of being improved. That concrete aspect is very helpful in terms of mobilizing one's capacity for loving the way a good mother or father loves their child. But that is not the nature of the problem going forward. The classic case that James is trying to solve is how to be a prisoner being tortured to death over months or years and be joyfull? And his theory is that being loving in a way that might propagate loving In the torturer, the circle of the torturer, and thereby the world, is the optimal way of being. But as said above no one's asked this question before. Maybe Jesus, sort of. there's no research. There's no theorizing. 

Item. Very difficult to get one's arms around and to keep one's arms around. In tangible. Requires emancipation, imagination. But it can be done. If not by James, by others. James is trying.

Item. But even with being able to articulate this post represent some progress for James. And his discoveries written of in recent days. 

There are vanishingly few people I can even stand spending any time with. But I think I love the soul, mammalian brain, even in a trump that I would die for it joyfully. I don't know that this is sane. But I do know that personally I find great open in it. And a path forward.

Wondering what he has to say about my notion that loving each soul is the key to any hope. This book created dr. King. The pivotal catalyst.
