By Elizabeth Drescher

…pparent artifact of a late second-century Christian community somewhere in Egypt, merits further study. These are among the salient facts of the discovery at this point, and scholars quickly began queuing up to weigh in on whether or not the fragment is authentic.

Rather than lift up their cries for justice, you have rebuked the young—telling young folks to pull up their pants. There is something unbearable about the way you say to young folks as they are slain in the street that “they need to get saved” or “they need Jesus.” I dare say, respectfully, that your conception of Jesus and salvation is wrong. Fo…
