There was a prophet, preacher and all around teacher...named Jesus. According to a book called the Bible, Jesus proclaimed "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." Who is this Jesus, aka The Christ? And what does he purport to be? How do we define the "truth" he propagates? "Rebooting Jesus" offers unique perspective on the call to action for discerning freethinkers. To explore what exists and what does not. Freethinking is a tough fit for Christianity. It's for those who think independently, using reason to form opinions. Freethinking tests the validity of tradition and church authority. Many times, freethinkers and traditional Christianity land in different places. Have you been struggling with the prescriptive model of God? Shunned by Christian sects for your alternative view? Suffering from cognitive dissonance over God's commands to annihilate civilizations? Need a fresh start to test what you believe, to keep your faith alive? This book presents a path for those who choose to make a personal determination on creator of the universe; the sinful "fall" of humanity; the inception of evil; the story of redemption through man/god Jesus Christ. To become free from the "Christian Riff" that drives framing and agenda setting. Is God "good?" How did the bible originate? Who defined the three-in-one entity called God? Does God have a gender identity? Why did dark angels have sexual relations with humans? Why did God negotiate with Satan to kill Job's family? Why did God kill babies in the Great Flood? If the Great Flood purged evil from the earth, how did slavery emerge? Who lived, and died, in the Passover? Did Jesus have a sinless thought life? Rebooting Jesus is for those searching and curious. A step-by-step guide with examples for self-exploration into the acts of "Father" God; his "Son" Jesus; through the manifestation of the "Holy Spirit." My journey has been complicated. Not pleasant, but necessary. And my ultimate conclusion, may surprise you. Theos, Christos, Pneuma, Amen.
