“But today we are often willing, even eager, to state that we’re sinful like everyone else. We think we’re being humble to claim that we’re no better than anyone else in the world around us. But the New Testament paints a very different picture. Apparently, we’re aliens in this world, and our citizenship is elsewhere.”— The Naked Gospel, page 118

Why? Why don't we take the scripture at face value here? People are anxious enough to jump on "bible bandwagons" in other areas where the text is less than clear. Why not here, where the texts are very clear? Is it too good to be true? Remember gospel means good news; what could be better news than this?
