Amazing this turkey could get a job even at a place like Oakland Community College. I would like to think he isn't getting paid much for his drivel.

Oakland Community College in Farmington Hills, Michigan. What's the name of that again? 12 Mile High?

Hmm, let me check again...
John 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, (Num. 21.9) even so must the Son of man be lifted up
15 that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved."
Yup, pretty clear here.

"It goes from 'He who would be my disciple must take up his own cross and follow me' to 'Christ paid the penalty for sin' so we can go to heaven." So is this guy suggesting that instead of the once-for-all bloody sacrifice, we should all make bloody sacrifices of ourselves? That doesn't seem too ethical to me.
To: churchillbuff
Let me guess. He majored in global ignorance?

Cook expresses his views dramatically in his new novel, "The Judgment of Christ" (Publish America, Feb. 2004). That's at the top of my reading list. [/sarcasm]
What a shock. The PhD has a novel to flog. No wonder he's making waves, stirring up controversy.
If this is what passes for the fruits of "higher education" in academe, count me out. This chump doesn't understand the first thing about Christianity.

This is unreal...the leftists are STILL attacking Mel's movie well over a month and a half after it was released! They just can't stand the idea of thousands of Christians flocking to this sse this film.

This Yale PhD can't read a simple new testament.
(In fact, he's probably among those who have thrown out the majority of it.)

Yup, pretty clear here.
And here too:
But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things to come, He entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation;
and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, He entered the holy place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.
...how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

God didn't plan his death.Um, YES He did.
The perfect sacrifice and the incomprehensible cost to God Himself is the embodiment of love and the entire gospel message. This "Christian existentialist" is simply parroting a very old lie and dressing it up as new "truth."
700 years before the birth of Jesus the prophet Isaiah wrote:
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
3 He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.
6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
(Click for more of Isaiah 53)
This destroys the lie that " Doctor" Cook is spewing that the message Jesus preached was somehow corrupted by the early believers, or that God had not planned for Jesus to make this sacrifice for us. This prophecy was penned 7 centuries before the fulfillment.
That Mr. Cook is supposedly a "Christian" religion professor is suspect indeed if he misses such a foundational principle! This demonstrates a PLAN not an after-thought.

If Jesus said "love one another" and then gone on to die of old age, no one would have remembered him or his message. Obviously dying on the cross was a way to get our attention and remember his message.
