“Only such a church-centred Christology could convince the unbeliever today that the slogan “hostile to the church but friendly to Jesusâ€? is both mistaken and unnecessary.” may be true as Christ and the Church shoudn’t be divided by one’s whims and fancy or mere discomfort.

But practically, our inability as a church to seriously deal with “why people are hostile to the church?” with self-critical robust ecclesiology as well as ministry praxis seems me creating serious barriers towards genuine seekers and fellow pilgrims on this side of heaven.

Is NOT "explaining how they both indwell Christ as a hypostatic union or how both these aspects are communicated in Christ’s revealed presence." a weakness or a difference in theological approach? 2. "Similarly, Clifford J. Green (p. 198) notes the unresolved tension between an overpowering, authoritarian Christ in The Cost of Discipleship and the weak, humiliated Christ of Letters from Prison."Is there a place for unresolved tension in theology?
