    What is Contemplative Christianity?

    And btw....I don't know how to reply to portions of posts so sometimes my order/thoughts are out of sync with your questions. I do good on my iPad but phone messes me up

    What is Contemplative Christianity?

    So, let me ask you this, science can indeed explain the formation of the mountains right, but it cannot explain their beauty.....there's no human reasoning, mathematic equations for beauty, it simply cannot be compartmentalized ...does beholding beauty become unreasonable? Our only ticket to...

    What is Contemplative Christianity?

    I know, I'm inserting myself here, but have you ever been at the receiving end of words like "ameature", "inexperienced", "uneducatedated", Sometimes without even meaning to, we place ourselves above other people. God used the very opposite kind of men in great ways. Again, I have much regard...

    Both are death outside of the Holy Spirit. :)

    What is Contemplative Christianity?

    There's SO much I agree with you/others about. I do believe 100 percent that the number one cause of people rejecting Christ is misrepresentation of His character. People "fleshing" out the scriptures. Anything we say/do outside of the gentleness of the Holy Spirit will fail miserably. I DO...

    What is Contemplative Christianity?

    Sojourner, our indoctrination is indeed different, but make no mistake about it, you yourself have also been indoctrinated. It is just a fact...like it or not, we have all been heavily influenced by someone be it a pastor, a professor, a phychiatrist, an author and even worse, some of us have...

    What is Contemplative Christianity?

    1 Corinthians 2. Much of what is rejected is rejected because of well meaning people acting and speaking outside of the Holy Spirit of God. It's lifeless and rigidness reeks in the nostrils of God, so, of course it is of no effect. But simply because people have placed their trust in a 15...

    What is Contemplative Christianity?

    First of all, As we know, God spoke the universe into place. Do you know how? Do I know how? No, we do not, but we know that the Spirit was at work, so we have 2 options. 1. Dismiss it as truth because we cannot humanly understand it 2. Accept by faith and the accuracy of the texts that...

    What is Contemplative Christianity?

    There are many things I agree with you on....I see what you see. I am truly not in any camp. I do believe that people misrepresent Christ, but they do so with pure intentions. I do try to give the benefit of doubt to anyone, even if I don't agree with their attitudes or theology. I don't think...

    What is Contemplative Christianity?

    I am truly trying to understand where you are coming from, but if you apply your theory to common practices and or modern day law or ANYTHING meant to guide and instruct us, you have chaos. A teacher does not hand a book to his sudents and say "however you interpret this material is ok, we will...

    What is Contemplative Christianity?

    Question .....do you believe there is one way to the Father through Jesus Christ? or do you believe this is just one way to interpret this text? John 14:6

    Disproving the Bible

    I think the very fact that the bible is the most argued, debated, criticized, loved, hated, applied, disregarded and talked about book EVER is pretty significant proof of its importance.
