I'm quite serious when I say that I don't hold theology very strongly. It's one's living that counts. My verbal/written confession is what Peter and Paul preached in Acts: that God raised the crucified Jesus to glory. The rest of it, I'm willing to hold lightly, and if someone tries to pry it out of my hands, it's okay and I'm not offended.
Now, on the resurrection, I'm adamant. I don't see how one can claim to be "Christian" in any meaningful sense, and deny Jesus' resurrection. That just guts the NT. Jesus' resurrection gives 'life' to the NT, gives it motive force. Otherwise what is it?
