Comment by James Nored on July 11, 2013 at 11:11am: Here is an article in which the difference between views of Christianity and Jesus by people are highlighted. In one (unscientific) study, 50 people were asked what their views of Christianity were. All 50 had negative view. Fifty people were asked what their views of Jesus were. All 50 were positive. I wonder which we should lead with--Christ, or us? . . . ..
