00:00:00.008 --> 00:00:04.242
My understanding is that the early
church fought over the issue of
2
00:00:04.267 --> 00:00:08.248
whether Gentiles had to become
Jews in order to relate to Jesus.

00:00:08.272 --> 00:00:10.344

00:00:10.369 --> 00:00:12.053
to relate to Jesus.

00:00:12.078 --> 00:00:14.641

they are involved with ...
any or none.
11
00:00:26.252 --> 00:00:31.273
And if they engage with Jesus
I believe Jesus has ...
12
00:00:31.298 --> 00:00:40.398
has a liberating potential to
help them transform their world.
