扫罗前往大马士革的时候,正当盛世。普天之下,只有一个国家,那就是罗马。罗马只有一个主人,那就是提比略·凯撒。
到处都充满秩序,因为罗马的法律无所不及。到处也充满繁荣和稳定;百夫长们看到的就是这样。
到处也总有些别的事情,比如镇压, 但那只针对跟凯撒合不来的人。税收官从田间收取谷物和亚麻,去俸养军队和填充国库;这样, 神圣的凯撒才能将他的恩典赐予人民。马戏团从不缺卖身求艺的新演员;被帝国禁言的人,行刑官会确保他们绝对服从。人生在世就当侍奉凯撒;除此之外还有什么别的意义呢?
有些人听了或者读了什么奇谈怪论,居然不同意这些道理;他们该当被责罚。外邦人如果没有罗马血统,也只配成为奴仆。在强者眼里,各处都有不配为人的人;这世间已经够拥挤了,多一个少一个人又如何呢?
突然有一天,世间出现了一道光亮。一个来自加利利的人说: 凯撒的归于凯撒,神的当归于神。
这个不同于凯撒的声音说,世间当有新的国,你们都能站立,不必屈膝于任何别的人。
这光芒照耀到人间。黑暗中人们恐惧起来;他们将铁幕降下,自信只有人民领袖才能带来救赎。
不过多久,其他地方很多人在这光亮指引下获得了自由。藏在黑暗中的人们感情更加受到伤害,想去直接把那光亮熄灭。那声音说:光在你们中间时日不多,快快走掉。等黑暗降临你们,你们便不知可踪。

那日,保罗前往大马士革的路途,便是被光亮指引的。可保罗却忧惧起来。他担忧,千百年里还会出现别的凯撒,别的先知,说服人们放弃神赐的自由,只去侍奉这些妄称一尊的人。
那时黑暗将再次笼罩大地,人们烧毁书籍,只满足于吃穿住行,还把这归恩于那新的凯撒。那时人们再不能看到东方的明星,黑暗中也不再有光明。
于是,人间的使徒保罗,告诉他的同胞们,叫我们此后每年都记住:

基 督 釋 放 了 我 們 , 叫 我 們 得 自 由 。 所 以 要 站 立 得 穩 , 不 要 再 被 枷 鎖 束 縛。

Afaik,耶稣被允许主要在市场和山上讲道,而他的听众则享受露天新鲜空气和阳光下的大自然,并愿意分享食物。
似乎,现在一部分去教堂的人很乐意为空调建筑(有墙壁和锁着的门)买单,享受崇拜音乐会,同时实际上将自己与穷人、无家可归者或大自然隔离开来。

As far as I understand (of course I can be very wrong), the keywords like Christian and Christ could have been interpreted inadequately or incompletely, in order to suit for conventional theology that is manufactured by church-workers, I am afraid.
Perhaps an appropriate word should be Jesus-way as appeared in the Greek bible, rather than Christ-likeness as in systematic theology.
Obviously, the vision of China administration when governing poor places would be a similar way and measures of approaching Jesus-way, according to my personal observation so far.
I do hope a nature-loving China would be able to keep going this Jesus-way for the poor!
Just my opinion!

我们一定要完整,全面理解基督教与圣经。 现在,西方白左,毛左,左派的社会主义者滥用基督教中博爱,“上帝叫日头照好人,也照歹人”。把社会资源向歹人,向罪犯,向违法乱纪者倾斜。 单方面强调神的恩典,而忽视神的律法,公平与公正! 包庇,纵容,吸毒贩毒,杀人放火,同性恋! 而不是帮助他们悔改,知途迷返。这些人歪曲神的律法,害人害己!

My observation (which could be wrong):
Naturally, there had been two styles of liberation for different countries/cultures.
A liberation for Jesus-likeness, to implement a culture-fit freedom and democracy by trail and error (fuzzy-logic - inclusive of several classes), with a (semi-)controlled freedom and democracy environment. We are the multitude - Leads to democratic democracy.
A liberation for Christ-likeness, to offer a still-trying system of freedom and democracy that others must follow otherwise very wrong (binary logic - either yes or no), with also a (part-)controlled freedom and democracy environment. We are the saved - leads to democratic division.
The pros and cons as well as their differences for these two styles would need further exploration in due course.
Just 2 cents.
Q In a binary system, a sample either belongs to a class or not (meaning that the degree of membership is either 1 or 0), whereas in the fuzzy system, a sample can belong to different classes with different degrees of membership (that all add up to 1).
