    What is Contemplative Christianity?

    You are twisting my words but what I'm saying is true although you are twisting it [emoji14]

    What is Contemplative Christianity?

    I think it's both. If my husband writes me a letter I intellectually comprehend it and my heart feels through my comprehension of those words. If it were a man I didn't know, my heart would not react, but I would read it academic/intellectually.

    What is Contemplative Christianity?

    I would be quite dillusional if I believed I could "hide from God". I simply know He is with me always. I am weak while He is strong. He speaks to me through His word and it's pretty much that simple. My life is His, there is no wisdom, experience, or doctrine I need to add to or take away from...

    They Hack God's word and His people I might add ;)

    What is Contemplative Christianity?

    The difference was not in the deliverance of the words and or scripture. The pharisees TRUSTED in their OWN righteousness which we know is as filthy rags. Experience never trumps God's word because God's word is powerful when imparted by the Spirit. Do I agree that many parrot scripture without...

    What is Contemplative Christianity?

    Actually, that's what happens when I focus too much on a chat forum ;) you are very intelligent and in days gone by I would have actually been moved by that intellect, but really, nothing compares to the power of God and His word in my life

    What is Contemplative Christianity?

    And that is in no means meant to be offensive. I'm just saying that it is truly just so overwhelmingly complicated and confusing that I can't imagine the onseeers muse

    What is Contemplative Christianity?

    Nothing I can say except if it weren't for Christ crucified and my full and undivided awareness of the indwelling Holy Spirit, I would SO be an atheist.

    What is Contemplative Christianity?

    Sojourner, question...IF the bible could be 100 percent proved as our absolute authoritative truth, would you accept it as such, or would the harsh realities of it make you reject it?

    What is Contemplative Christianity?

    It's a pretty well known, widely accepted, historically documented, seminary taught, Christian account of tyndale, but I stand corrected my lord, (curtsy)

    What is Contemplative Christianity?

    Tyndale is just ONE.....so many more gave their lives. They didn't die so that we would put more emphasis on the scriptures. They died clinging to Gods word for me and you

    And he died because of it.

    What is Contemplative Christianity?

    Tyndale posed as a threat to the church because they could no longer elevate themselves above the common man and control them by means of authority and money. Crazy that the two words Tyndale translated differently were church, which he translated to assembly and charity which he translated...

    What is Contemplative Christianity?

    Use your argument on this man and many like Him. Gods divine hand can be seen in the preservation of the scriptures. These are the men I revere, the ones that the "church" was headhunting, the men that gave the ultimate price so that I could hold that book. This one man alone holds more merit...

    What is Contemplative Christianity?

    You know, this whole thing seems quite confusing and circular. How do you or anyone for that matter quote scripture for the basis of your practice yet you deny the authority of the scriptures? Why bother with the bible as your reference point? How can you use scripture as your supporting...

    "Religious Liberty" ?

    Faith is a personal matter and I think liberties within local churches should be protected, however, IF that church decides to venture into the for profit business world, then that business should not have any special privileges. It should operate as any other business. And as far as private...

    Why Do Christians insist meditation is "dangerous"?

    If my faith sets you at odds with me because of my conduct, I have a huge problem, but if My faith sets you at odds with me simply because of what it is, then you have a huge problem. This holds true to ANY belief system.

    Why Do Christians insist meditation is "dangerous"?

    Not really sure why community and my own personal faith has anything to do with one another. As long as I do not push my faith onto others there shouldn't be a problem. Do we have to be a collective whole in order to be a productive community? Where is diversity and freedom in that statement...
