Middle schooler: "We have to remember that God isn't just love. I've been reading Revelation and it talks about how Jesus is going to, like, kill us."
Her mom: "Oh, no, honey. Jesus isn't going to kill us. He's going to kill everyone else."
I didn't know whether to burst out laughing or cry.
How have misreadings of Revelation (mis)informed our theology? With this as a forefront view regarding Revelation in modern Christian culture (but not in scholarly circles and Church history, mind you), how can we undo the damage?
There's so much work to do...
