Religious of Jesus day called him the Devil, March 11, 2008
This review is from: The Devil's Advocate: A Spiritual Man's Case Against God (Paperback)
When Jesus was on earth, the things that he did and said made the religious establishment very uncomfortable because his philosophy had the effect of freeing the people. Being a master physicist, Jesus used the principles found in nature to give people a glimpse into the very mind of God (something even Einstein wanted to see).
The religious ones begin to call Jesus a devil and say that his power came from the prince of devils. So, the title of Dr. Fleming's book plays on the words of the religious ones of Jesus ' day. Namely, if Jesus spoke for the devil, then he too is the devils advocate! Regarding the subtitle "A spiritual Man's case against God", that too is a play on words. It simply is a case against the God of the ones that called Jesus the devil. See, the God that Jesus represented, was the devil to the God of the ministers. Thus, it is a case against the God of the religious establishment.
In short, the book attempts to make a legal argument for the God that Jesus represented (called the devil), and against the God of the spiritual leaders of his day Called LORD GOD).
