Lacunae

Those who want to cast Jesus strictly into the center-set side of things, however, have difficulty with other passages. Jesus selects 12 apostles as his official representatives. We know that the circle around him was larger because in Acts there are two candidates who qualify as replacements. We also know from the church tradition of others who were eye-witnesses and ear-witnesses to Jesus’ life whom Jesus did NOT select for his twelve. Jesus talks about the father deciding who would sit on his right and left hand side. Again, this is bounded-set. In the famous “sheep and goats” parable of Matthew 25 Jesus tells a very bounded-set story.

Paul's whole post is quite relevant to recent dialogue I've been having about the relationship between AA and Christianity.

Thanks,
