Daily Alchemy: a question to think on together
“When your faith shapes your politics, how do you decide which parts to speak out loud and which to keep between you and God?”
Trust ranks through the site stewards' curated lens.
from thomas keating: prayer hands pointing up is a material symbol of gathering all your faculties together and pointing them toward God. contemplating a "sacred" word is a mental pointer in the same way.... I love this line: Grace is our collective safeguard against the society becoming drenched in sin. I grew up Christian on the East Coast of America and tasted many varietals of the sin/shame/damnation Christianity.... - ˈkwɒntəm...
I was at a workshop a couple years ago about 40 other people, mostly strangers, that was called 'prophetic training: hearing God's voice'. Towards the beginning of the class, after the instructor had given us some brief instructions on what to expect, he turned off the lights... - fra...
The Gospel of Thomas
I like the Gospel of Thomas a lot. Any other fans here? It is so much cleaner than the canonical gospels. No miracles, no biography, pure wisdom. I see many things that I want to interpret with my current understanding. What's your reaction?... - Soulchef22...
I do a little side hustling with Uber and had a Bob Jones Student in the car the other day. Biblical studies major who basically confirmed the below in as much that practicing the teaching of Christ is secondary to just having faith in his death, salvation and resurrection.... - Donnie Darko...
Issues i find with Christianity
Christians: How could a mortal being, such as ourselves, be sentenced to an eternal damnation when we couldn't possibly commit any act warranting such a devastating sentence? Furthermore, isn't our lord supposed to be our loving father?... - bejai89...
~YOU ARE YOUR LAST HOPE~
Every system eventually fails you. The institution closes its doors, the preacher falls from grace, the doctrine crumbles under the weight of lived reality. The prosperity promise goes unfulfilled. The fear wears thin. The outrage finds a new target.... - bejai89...
THE GLORY OF LONG SUFFERING
The Glory of Long Suffering By Brynel Begishe I have learned that darkness does not always conquer by sudden assault. Sometimes it creeps in slowly, when I learn to ignore my own inner shadows.... - onWe need to recover the idea of the Soul from its destruction at the hands of modern metaphysics and its distortion in traditional Christianity.by
"In my Christian upbringing, I was taught that I AM a soul, not that I possess one. In this scheme, my Soul is fatally marked with Sin, incapable of pleasing God, and must be redeemed." You would know better than me, but: People might have said "You are a soul", but I don't... I say "consider myself" instead of "call myself" as a turn of phrase. I am a follower of Jesus, and have been for a couple of decades now. I just like to say things in weird ways, I guess. It's good for me! I've taken to journaling again.... - johnpaul156...
This is not the usual way of Christian churches. Brian Sanders wrote Microchurches: A Smaller Way. He discussed doing worship, talking over each other's problems, eating meals together - including the Lord's Supper, and working together on some mission as a small group of people... - SupaUglyTV...

I am an Elohimist
Hello, My name is Arnold Joseph Bur and I am an Elohimist, because "Christian" churches are ordaining openly gay ministers. And, because In The Beginning Elohim created the Heavens and the earth... Just because it's a church, it does not mean it's a Body of Christ.... - John r Blake...
The hearts and eyes of unbelievers remained sealed closed. As designed by God. Only He can open the eyes of the heart, mind, body, and soul to bring those who are in the dark into the Glorious Light....
