It is the first explanation of the world which doesn't require a faith-based acceptance of the "certainties" that they wish upon us. That's why it is one of the most dangerous ideas.Larry Bondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08320858757141983660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22980269.post-13972795449810114592012-08-12T22:30:48.973-05:002012-08-12T22:30:48.973-05:00are you a teacher?are you a teacher?J Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13983481406116013239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22980269.post-39719314980250268422012-06-21T10:52:03.738-05:002012-06-21T10:52:03.738-05:00Spiritual OCD I mean.Spiritual OCD I mean.adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09810547322546039254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22980269.post-81050217420343452122012-06-21T10:51:45.090-05:002012-06-21T10:51:45.090-05:00Religious OCD.

I think most Christians can't actually abide in the Grace of God, they have to make themselves more righteous, so they build up rules upon rules, expecting outward compliance while ignoring the insides of our minds and souls. <br /><br />I'm not really trying to disagree with you in general. I do think that there is such a thing as believing in sin and salvation, and not living in guilt. I believe that we are saved from guilt, and saved from legalism (purchasing goodness with our works) by Christ. <br /><br />I know that your journey is not over, and I do not consider myself to have arrived either.

You answered the question for me. What do...Jeremy:<br /><br />You answered the question for me. What does Jesus provide us (if he's not a God and our Savior)? He teaches us to "feed the poor, clothe the naked, and heal the sick". That's what he does for me. He is nothing more than Ghandi or MLK or other great leaders. I don't need him to be a deity for me to do good, think good and try like hell to be good. Some folks need the "If I don't do this I'll go to hell" kind of religion. Others need a "Please save me from my inherent evilness." I don't need or want either. Both ideals (in my opinion) are part of guilt theology and I am tired of the guilt. I've had enough. The Christians have, and I speak only for myself here, completely chased me away from Christianity. <br /><br />All I want is to be part of a community that believes in doing good for goodness' sake.adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09810547322546039254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22980269.post-52403261870974729942010-08-24T19:43:22.064-05:002010-08-24T19:43:22.064-05:00Sky Girl: Read "Rescuing Jesus from the Chris...Sky Girl: Read "Rescuing Jesus from the Christians".

All he did was piss off the Jews and get crucified.<br /><br />I personally believe the entire Bible is a story of how humans, even in the most privileged and closely guided situations (Israel, Old Testament), screw things up, and need salvation from God's wrath, and into his mercy. I don't believe people need to be guilt ridden to accept and appreciate salvation, just come to that realization. I believe that Jesus doesn't offer a life of guilt, but a life of freedom.<br /><br />I also believe as I said in my first post that the American Church (basically all denominations) is broken and for the most part ineffective, useless, and worse, damaging to the name of Jesus. <br /><br />I think that Christians should rise up and (without Government) feed the poor, clothe the naked, and offer healing to the sick. This should be done through rehabilitation centers, charity hospitals, shelters etc. If they aren't doing these things, then they aren't serving Christ.Jeremy D.
