Time for some Borg... I hope I don't get assimilated. Budum tch!
Borg often seems.... disappointed in who Jesus was on earth. As such, his eschatology is a little disappointing too. He talks so much about how disappointed the early Christians were when he didn't come back right away. However, I think that they were still wallowing a bit in their view of the Messiah and his purpose. They were still hoping for freedom from Rome! But His plan was much greater and for all people. We just have to be patient.
Now Borg seems to want to continue to put Jesus in a box in the future too, and limit who he is, since it seems like he doesn't think that Jesus is the Son of Man in the Second Coming. I feel like the Bible is full of references to Jesus coming back himself, but Borg refuses. How much of the Bible can you ignore! That's a very limited vision he has of Jesus. Why would be even be lovable when he is so limited? Well, I guess he wouldn't be. In fact..... he would be a bit disappointing. Little faith leaves you disappointed!
