Daily Alchemy: a question to think on together
“When faith and politics get tangled together, what do you think a church risks losing, and what might it gain?”
Trust ranks through the site stewards' curated lens.
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?... - 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...

The Born Again Gospel
The Born Again Gospel You are a created being, made in the image of a Holy God but, no one on Earth can be Holy so, God sent His Only Begotten Son Jesus, to take the punishment for our sins by dying on a cross.... - [deleted]...
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.... - Ebediel65...
Hi, my name is Scott. I Love Jesus first, and all people second. The first person before all others is Elaine, my wife. I love people enough to speak uncomfortable truth in love and with as much kindness as I can muster. Questions I don't know how to answer?... - johnpaul156...
You wrote, "almost all of the peak moments of gratitude in my life have happened to me -- I was a receptacle, and it arrived; often in a way that reminded me of the size of my self and ego in this big glorious universe." I like that.... - onHi! A little about me. I'm a Wisconsinite. I am in my first year of retirement from teaching. I feel I have had lots of different experiences both in school and out of school. I am a cardiac arrest survivor from ventricular fibrillation and had an 80% blockage angioplastied. Last year I had my first battery replacement. I am married and my husband has 1 year of retirement in. We have 2 adult sons. The oldest is married and is a step dad. The youngest is not married yet. My parents are deceased and I have no siblings. My life has been a rollercoaster of ups and downs, right from my birth. I enjoy camping, gardening (though I am not a green thumb), family and my Chihuahua/ beagle, Snoopy. I am a person full of life experience contrast, one beingcontrasts such as being spiritual yet not church going. I hope my experiences can help others. 😀byMinnie...
Sorry to hear your family is a problem. The Bible reminds us that this will continue to get worse for believers in Christ and what he did for us all. Jesus knows how we are feeling. We must stay the course and keep the faith.... - johnpaul156...
Hi, Stephanie. I hope we both find real conversations. What is your Christian background? My Methodist minister father gave me the name of TWO Catholic popes... twenty years before they took the name....
