[Roundtable] a problem bigger than war

[wes olson]

This year I am embarking on a study of Christians and war (justifiable
force).  I am also studying Chitins and Christmas and Christians and the
movies.  I recognize now these all have to do with a Christians response
to their culture.
 
THE PROBLEM
 
premise 1: People are driven to celebrate, enjoy seasons, be part of the
culture around them (e.g. the nation of Israel)
 
premise 2: When people get saved, they get a spiritual identity in
Christ, but no physical culture to replace the one they left.
 
conclusion: Christians are left with a cultural vacuum and tension.
 
 
I am hoping to resolve which one of these premise's or what part of this
conclusion is in error.
