      4. One simple common sense objection is that Jesus couldn't have meant just Christians because Christians as such didn't exist when he spoke

      5. Jesus only ever addressed Jews (mostly) and pagans. The Jesus movement didn't become a separate religion until long after his death.

      6. But let's say we accept Erickson's premise Jesus meant his words for Christians after his death. Does it then mean what Erickson thinks?

      7. Erickson's reading: Jesus believed that people will be judged by God on how they treat the Christian poor & not poor in general.

      8. Erickson's Jesus (Erick-sus) is preaching a tribalist religion. God loves my tribe well & God will be nice.

          wondering if this is a commonly held interpretation by us evangelicals.

          to be (too) fair to Erickson, didn't Calvin believe this? Calvin also had shitty beliefs, but it's not an Erickson original

          9. Did Jesus preach a tribalist religion (treat Christians well) or universalist one (treat all well)? See the parable of the Good Samaritan

          Answer is: the writers who enshrined his memory had both in-group and out-group concerns.

          He's also preaching that morality and moral thinking outside of his tribe is impossible, which is detestable
