I am increasingly skeptical, after having grown up in a very conservative Christian environment and being involved in Christian organizations, of evangelicalism and its theological assumptions. I can no longer believe in inerrancy and infallibility. For one thing, the open declarations of Jesus in the book of John simply do not square up with the personality and perspective of the Jesus presented in the synoptics. Also, Paul's snap changes (recorded in the book of Acts)in perspective - Jesus was suddenly the Son of God, then the Messiah and finally the very creator of all - must be regarded with suspicion. The repeated assertions in the NT that the post-resurrection Jesus ascended into heaven to be seated at the right hand of God is theological and not historical [e.g., no human observed this take place]. A great deal of orthodox Christian theology is assumed and neither proven nor provable: e.g., as a start ... that God is eternally self-existent and knows everything. Simply nonsense although convenient and a Linus-blanket type of claim. More: Peter's quotations in Acts 2 from Joel 2 assumes that Jesus as the Messiah will come in the clouds within another seven years (per the 70 heptads of Daniel 9) to impose the "day of the Lord" judgments and to set up the eternal kingdom of the saints declared in Daniel 7. His warning to be saved concerns the catastrophic judgments to come soon and not that of personal salvation from sin. Interestingly, the early communal aspect of the early Messianic community appears to be a "jump on the bandwagon" response; if the saints (followers of the Messiah) are to rule in the coming eternal kingdom, of course, possessions in the temporal sense could be shared freely in light of the great abundance soon to come.
