Sunday, June 16, 2013. 15 Things Jesus Did Say. 8220;There’s only one litmus test to authenticate if someone gets what I’m about – love.”. 8220;The kingdom of God is here and now, which means it’s not somewhere else and later.”. 8220;If you’ve reached perfection on your journey, feel free to judge others.

Simple Thoughts from a Questioning Man: Sick........and Tired
http://simplethoughtsfromaquestioningman.blogspot.com/2014/11/sickand-tired.html
Simple Thoughts from a Questioning Man. Thursday, November 13, 2014. Love God with all your heart, and YOUR NEIGHBOR (your fellow human beings) as yourself. Instead, we show vile self-hatred of ourselves by expressing an almost total lack of love for our neighbors in this "global" society. Quit saying you love God, if you don't show love for your neighbor, whomever he or she may be. November 15, 2014 at 6:30 AM. November 18, 2014 at 5:19 AM. I dont think hate is too strong a word. What shocks me is w...

Simple Thoughts from a Questioning Man: August 2013

Simple Thoughts from a Questioning Man. Friday, August 23, 2013. Tribal thinking, believe or not, is one the strongest characteristics of our human condition. Here is one of the best, if not the best explanation of “tribal thinking” that I have read. This comes from John Shelby Spong’s latest book on the Gospel of John, “The Fourth Gospel: Tales of a Jewish Mystic”. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I'm a Believer in Exile. I Am Currently Reading:.

Simple Thoughts from a Questioning Man: Here's one to Ponder
http://simplethoughtsfromaquestioningman.blogspot.com/2014/11/heres-one-to-ponder.html
Simple Thoughts from a Questioning Man. Tuesday, November 4, 2014. Here's one to Ponder. I saw this quote recently on Facebook:. What can we say about anything that wasn't regurgitated to us by someone else". I have been mulling this quote over in my mind. Perhaps it's time to start seriously thinking about this. When we're talking about spirituality, religion, life in general, maybe we need to think for ourselves rather than repeating what we heard someone else say. Is that even possible? Around 2001, I...

Simple Thoughts from a Questioning Man: February 2014
http://simplethoughtsfromaquestioningman.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Simple Thoughts from a Questioning Man. Friday, February 28, 2014. Get the Hell Out of My Bible. This is a Facebook post from a wonderful inclusionist, Carlton Pearson. Carlton expresses what many Christians have discovered in recent years. I gave up the belief in hell almost ten years ago and have never looked back. Get the Hell Out of My Bible. The only "literal" hell there is, is the one we create for ourselves and for others. No one goes to hell, but we all go through it. Are we saved from God by God?

Simple Thoughts from a Questioning Man: I'm a Believer in Exile
http://simplethoughtsfromaquestioningman.blogspot.com/p/im-believer-in-exile.html
Simple Thoughts from a Questioning Man. I'm a Believer in Exile. I am a believer in exile. Claiming to be a believer in exile brings up certain questions. What do you mean by exile? What compelled me into exile? Is this a transitional state on my way to God? 1 Exile is not a voluntary state. It is forced upon me by things or circumstances beyond my control. A person just does not leave a denomination (faith) where he spent 59 years of his life voluntarily. He must be forced by circumstances. Welcome to t...

Random Ramblings: Waiting for the light
http://theramblingpoet.blogspot.com/2012/12/waiting-for-light.html
Wednesday, December 19, 2012. Waiting for the light. Friday is Winter Solstice. Hanukkah just ended. Advent continues. Christmas is coming. We have not needed the light so desperately as we do now in a great while. The darkness threatens to overtake us, and it feels futile to light a simple candle or sit in anticipation of the breaking dawn. My heart is heavy and broken. So what should my response be - as a parent, as a mental health professional, as a person of faith, as a human being? I will be an advo...
