I Doubt Rachel Held Evans Would Follow The Real Jesus Even If She Met Him


No one else has.

In "Why Millennials Are Leaving The Church" here:

"You can’t hand us a latte and then go about business as usual and expect us to stick around. We’re not leaving the church because we don’t find the cool factor there; we’re leaving the church because we don’t find Jesus there. Like every generation before ours and every generation after, deep down, we long for Jesus."

------------------------------------------

You mean this one?

Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

-- Matthew 19:21f.

The authenticity sought by the young is ever disappointed, but not until they are older and take a good long look in the mirror and meet all the hypocrites they've ever known.
