Christianity orthodoxy teaches that the majority of God’s creations wind up on the hermes evelyne bag price short end of the stick. How many BILLIONS of God’s creations came with a built-in flaw? Why would God do such a thing, knowing in advance as He (no gender intended) does. He is omniscient isn’t he? And omnipotent too? Then how in the “proverbial hell” can He allow US, His creations to have the LAST WORD? Tell me how that works. Continue reading ‘God’s Final Word’

Hermes evelyne bag price
I remember growing up as a hermes evelyne bag price child seeing signs outside of small churches in Kansas and hermes evelyne bag price Missouri with just two words- JESUS SAVES! Until I was a hermes evelyne bag price about six or seven I always thought it was my grandmother who hermes evelyne bag price saved as she led me to church, holding my hand, several times a hermes evelyne bag price week. I see those two words very infrequently now. The last time was on a hermes evelyne bag price sign outside the Star Of Hope Mission. JESUS SAVES!
As we move towards Easter, now might be hermes evelyne bag price a good time to ask ourselves a very important question. That question would be, Jesus saves us from hermes evelyne bag price WHAT? And the hermes evelyne bag price reason I am opening up this question is because that question has hermes evelyne bag price changed for me. I still embrace the concept that JESUS SAVES; however, it hermes evelyne bag price for very different things now than it was when I was a hermes evelyne bag price child, or even a young adult.
I used to think that Jesus was 100% human and 100% divine. I couldn’t explain it. It didn’t make sense. But, I was told to hermes evelyne bag price just BELIEVE, so I did, even though I struggled with this hermes evelyne bag price concept of God wearing a human costume of sorts in this hermes evelyne bag price body of a Jew named Jesus. Or, as the charismatics would say it- JAY-ZUS!
Traditional church orthodoxy has Jesus SAVING us from our SINS bag gucci cost.
While I consider Jesus my “savior” it’s not for the reasons I once thought.
1-Jesus saved me from my misconceptions of God (that the church had taught me).
2-Jesus saved me from my fear that God would reject me (the church had many reasons).
3-Jesus saved me from meritocracy (the fuel of church life).
4-Jesus saved me from thinking I was separate from God (I was reminded every Sunday).
5-Jesus saved me from thinking God’s justice trumped His love (a major church principle).
And in all of that I’ve come to hermes evelyne bag price see Jesus more as my LORD than my SAVIOR without denying the hermes evelyne bag price latter. I am discovering more of the richness, depth, and mystery of God. Isn’t it GOD that primarily saves anyway? What else could Jesus have meant when He said, “When a hermes evelyne bag price man believes in me, he does not beleive in ME ONLY, but in the hermes evelyne bag price ONE who sent me” (John 12:44).
In Jesus I saw and see God or as Huston Smith put it, “Jesus went about doing good causing the hermes evelyne bag price people of his time to find themselves thinking that IF divine goodness were to hermes evelyne bag price manifest itself in human form, this is how it would behave.” God is hermes evelyne bag price most DEFINED in Jesus, but God is not CONFINED in Jesus. Saying and hermes evelyne bag price believing that, as I have and do, says there must be hermes evelyne bag price someone else but Jesus that saves- in the other religions of the hermes evelyne bag price world. That someone else is the only one who can hermes evelyne bag price save anyone, and the one who eventually saves everyone.
God! God who is LOVE!
Most Christians are afraid to embrace their need for a “Gospel of Conditional Love”. I don’t think it’s a conscious decision but a “knowing” within that hermes evelyne bag price to accept the unconditional love that Jesus described of the Father would mean that hermes evelyne bag price we’d have hermes evelyne bag price to get rid of the old wineskins that are full of dogma and hermes evelyne bag price doctrines that no longer work. And to put TRUE unconditonal love in an hermes evelyne bag price old wineskin will definitely cause it to burst! Continue reading ‘Old Wineskins’
I’ve finally come to hermes evelyne bag price an answer as to why the church and religion have man’s free will trumping God’s will and hermes evelyne bag price justice being more powerful than love. The church needs those two concepts to hermes evelyne bag price win out so that it can better control and conform people to hermes evelyne bag price their image: regardless of the denomination.
I used to love reading the book of Revelation. It’s probably because it’s what hermes evelyne bag price the church taught me, what Hal Lindsey wrote about, and hermes evelyne bag price what the Left Behind series majored on. And one of my three pastors spent one entire year teaching on that hermes evelyne bag price damned book! But, it hermes evelyne bag price appealed to my psyche to see Jesus come riding in on a hermes evelyne bag price whire horse and issuing forth vengence and retribution to the bad guys. The scales of justice must be hermes evelyne bag price balanced! Continue reading ‘Scales Of Justice!’
Religion has a difficult time of buying into the GOOD NEWS! It seems that hermes evelyne bag price grace is too good to be true so religion and church sets up all the hermes evelyne bag price hoops that one must jump through to embrace God’s grace. Jesus came to tell us about God’s UNCONDITIOANL LOVE and hermes evelyne bag price absolutely amazing grace. Are you going to be a Christian, a hermes evelyne bag price follower of Jesus, or are you going to believe the LAW and hermes evelyne bag price CONDITIONAL LOVE that the church peddles? Continue reading ‘Absolutely Amazing Grace!’
Much of the hermes evelyne bag price church has attempted to make Christianity solely about ethics and morals. Guess who hermes evelyne bag price wins at that game? No one! There is hermes evelyne bag price no such thing as moral perfection and few if any absolutes this hermes evelyne bag price side of the third dimension. There is only ONE who is hermes evelyne bag price holy and that is the Creator and that same Creator is hermes evelyne bag price not turned off by our sins as the church and most religions would instruct you. Continue reading ‘Moral Theology?’
We are hermes evelyne bag price all controlled by the power elite be they politcal, psychological, or hermes evelyne bag price religious. Culture has it’s power elites whose job it hermes evelyne bag price is to control the status quo, keep the masses conformed to hermes evelyne bag price elite expectations, ad otherwise appear to be compassionate and caring for hermes evelyne bag price the down and out. The power elite have the power and hermes evelyne bag price they exercise it religiously. Continue reading ‘The Power Elite’
I have hermes evelyne bag price several acquaintences that pour their lives into the abortion battle. I went before a hermes evelyne bag price judge in 1992 for disturbing the peace at an abortion clinic, but was let off, along with 54 other people fcing the hermes evelyne bag price same crazy trumped up charge. Praying in front of Planned Parenthood was somehow illegal on that hermes evelyne bag price summer day. So, before I get too far into this commentary, let me make sure you hermes evelyne bag price understand that I am against abortion.
