As to this post, you have merely defined the difference between an infantile faith (fundamentalism) and a maturing faith--yours. As an Episcopalian, (former Roman Catholic) I can tell you that we emphasize that God gave us minds and expects us to use them. It would make little sense I fear for God to write such a strange document and then ask us to suspend all belief that doesn't comport with some literal interpretation of such a convoluted writing. I think you are on exactly the right track. Blessings--nice to find another excellent writer and thinker.http://afeatheradrift.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-146183364287787287.post-69390983310151827962010-04-24T02:04:16.685+10:002010-04-24T02:04:16.685+10:00"but because the message of love and forgiven..."but because the message of love and forgiveness, of mercy and justice, of a kingdom that is not like the kingdoms of this world, of the King who conquers a city on the back of a donkey, is a message I love."<br /><br />Yep!... I am finding that the only theology I am interested in is that which causes one to become more kind and loving. If a belief brings that about, great. If it causes one to put up walls and division - bad theology regardless of the source.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12494823779999456396noreply@blogger.com
