Where's Mother, Father God -
I
Jesus did not preach and teach with Mary
In the first Gospel He was rude to His family***
"Who is my mother ... brothers?" But you who obey
Critics, I agree, a paternalism comes in Christianity
II
A second weakness, the prof in me will agree
Jesus, so giving, forgiving, equalizing ... is our King to be
"LORD of lords and KING of kings," is He ***
I can't explain it away: not slaves (Amen) but SUBJECTS we be!
NOTES:
1. *** Matthew 12
2. Book of Revelation 19, Deuteronomy 10
3. The philosophical point in the point is that the God-figure in Christianity is still patterned after the great imperial past, and even more at issue for a Hindu-Cyclical concept of time, is the Bible's LINEAR conception, heading toward Endtimes and/or Final Judgment.
