I have had a really busy day but my mind was constantly thinking and while I was meditating and studying this afternoon, I had an epiphany..one of those moments of crystal clarity when everything makes sense and come together as an aw..ha! Too tired tonight to write out my moment of Divine...

This is a something that I have struggled with since I was 15 years old. I need to think about this some more and then I will get back to you. Good question.

^ Me, too. The Theology of Hope. Isn't that the underlying Truth of the Gospel of Grace?

Of course, for N.T. Wright the resurrection is a historic event - coherent with the world view of Second Temple Judaism - fundamental to the New Testament. I have yet to study the concept of Second Temple Judaism but I am looking forward to doing so. :)

lunamoth, I have had some of my more scholarly; but extremely devote Anglican friends recommend NT Wright so I have started reading some of his essays. Very interesting stuff and what appeals to me is that both liberals and conservatives criticize him. Here are a couple of thoughts from his...

Stopping by to spread some bliss from the Black Forest. Have a good one. Jan

I have been studying with a member of the Sufi Order International which is a more Universal Vision brought to the West from India by Hazrat Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan, who founded the “Sufi Order in the West” in 1910. Thus, the ancient wisdom derived from the rich spiritual traditions of the...

Thanks for the comments cOde . I have never been called dude before. How cute. lol.

I agree with cOde and I think you can add politics or economics to the equation as well. If you examine the difference between personal faith and institutional religion, people of faith have always practiced unity in diversity. That is why I support a confederation as a possible unifying force...

I hope I am not too late. One of my favorite books about the KOG is written by Mortimer Arias: “Announcing the Reign of God.” Here is a link to an article written by him: THE KINGDOM OF GOD The Reign of God constitutes the central theme of Jesus of Nazareth's teachings found within...

Stopping by to say hello to another pathless person.

Greetings Wil, If you read the information provided in the breaking news and abuse is rampant link, you find many articles over the years about the FLDS treatment of women and children, not only in Texas but also in Utah, Arizona and British Colombia. There is wealth of information about the...

I have to agree with arthra on this one. I don't believe that the United States Constitution protects the rights of a "prophet" to teach a "religion" that promotes violence, hate, illegal control and exploitation over their followers, sexual and physical abuse of women and children. In his own...

Hmmmm, very interesting. So are you saying that as long as we think that we have all the correct answers from each of our "worldviews;" and that,we believe those answers are true for all people in all times, then we cannot have a real dialogue with others who may or may not think the same way...

Here is another analogy even one step further: Kudoes to Walter Truett Anderson: Three umpires are having a beer after a baseball game. One says: There's balls and there's strikes and I call 'em the way they are." Another responds, "There's balls and there's strikes and I call 'em...
