From Christian Newswire: Ground-breaking Christian iPhone Application

Want to ride the Jesus wave into the 21st century? There’s an app for that!

With the power of the iPhone, a talented international production team, a jaw-dropping fashionable aesthetic and the power of inspirational music, we can break down old paradigms and bring the teachings of Christ to a new, younger international audience,” explain Geoff Tyson DV8 Managing Director…

The literal meaning of this article seems to indicate that Jesus Christ came to save Christians — as if they existed before Christ came. Talk about historic predetermination! Indeed, this would be a new paradigm — but of course would only “bring the teachings of Christ to a new, younger international audience” of people who are already Christians.

Digging a little deeper (not much) I guess they are saying that other “saviors” are somehow just as valid, you know, the Christian savior, the Buddhist savior, the humanist savior… Is Jesus the “Christian savior” or something more?

The marketing department at DV8 needs a little training in scripture, Christian history, and theology. I believe I can sum it up for them though: Jesus Christ came to save the world (i.e., all people). He also said (John 14:6): “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” As Christians, we should all know that much.
