About Me:
I believe that Jesus Christ was and is the Savior of the World.
I hope to help get that message out by:
1. Demonstrating an alternative to Christian idolatry of the Bible; i.e., the unfortunate practice of demanding strict interpretation of Holy Scripture that contradicts or undermines the Living Word of Jesus Christ.
2. Being a light that testifies to the fact that a firm commitment to peace, justice, compassion, and using your God-given brain goes hand in hand with faith in Christ - and vice-versa.
3. Opening minds to the Holy Spirit, which speaks to us through many spiritual traditions as well as through the scientific disciplines and biblical higher criticism. To oppose the message of the Holy Spirit in order to perpetuate outdated prejudices and fears is to prevent healing in a world that desperately needs it; or in Jesus' words, to: "blaspheme against the Holy Spirit." (Mark 3.29)
4. Helping bring the fundamentalist Left and the fundamentalist Right together, so that they can both see Jesus for who he was: the radical embodiment of Universal Love; more shockingly "liberal" than either side is willing to admit.
Baruch Spinoza left us with an article called Ethics determining that God equals nature. This implies that all words of wisdom are formulated by a person as God never utters words. If God, Allah, Jahweh is all the same and is nature than making this common knowledge is making peace. Its peaceful to know that there is no heaven or hell, no devils, deamons or ghosts. Just people that say so.
Thank you for your advice on how to trascend emotions. I really liked your advice the best so far and it makes perfect sense to me. I especially endear the part where you said all corners of the earth are sacred and when I think of my mother she is visiting me. Thank you for your kind words and sharing your wisdom. I shall put them to good use. May blessing also be bestowed upon you.
