I encourage those who have not yet read Dr. Charlton's recent post concerning Jesus and the Second Creation to do so at their earliest convenience.
The post begins with the sentence:
Jesus Christ's work came naturally to him - he was not acting upon instructions.
Those who understand what Dr. Charlton is implying here are likely to comprehend or at least somewhat grasp some of the themes Romantic Christian blogs regularly address -- themes like aligning with God, spiritual freedom, agency, love, creativity, and Heaven.
Those who do not understand or resist the implications in the sentence above (and the post as a whole) would be well served by contemplating Dr. Charlton's post from a perspective that willingly moves beyond ingrained, inculcated metaphysical assumptions.
The very essence of what Christianity is -- or should be -- may just come to light, at least at the personal level.
