Beth quoted:
One of the images referred to in the article Beth mentions actually shows Jesus coming back to life and pulling Adam with him. The thought came to me that there is truth in the image. When Adam disobeyed God, he "died" -- meaning he lost the potential for receiving the Divine Love, acquiring divine nature and reaching redemption as a divine child of God. Jesus came and taught that in his person as the first to receive the Divine Love into his soul, this potential was now restored to all humanity and was available for the asking. So indeed, Adam is among those "rising from the dead" and there is now hope for all of humanity’s redemption. Not all will accept this opportunity as we know, but the potential is there.
Catherine, I just watched your two-part presentation on "Christ Was Murdered" and it is very well done. You really have a gift of teaching. Blessings on your further videos that you will create and may many learn from them the divine truths that we consider so precious.
Love,

When Christ, rising from the dead after having been executed for nonviolent resistance against violent imperial justice, grasps the hands of Adam and Eve, he creates a parable of possibility and a metaphor of hope for all of humanity’s redemption. Even though Christ is crucified for his nonviolent resistance, this Crucifixion and Resurrection imagery challenges our species to redeem our world and save our earth by transcending the escalatory violence we create as civilization’s normal trajectory. And the universal resurrection imagery makes it clear that we are all involved in this process.
