The wrestle regarding pacifism is real. I too, would argue that fighting is necessary if I had witnessed the holocaust. Something so horrific has to be stopped. Just how to stop it is the question. #GNS211#theHolySpiritmustguideus#tensiontensiontension
I am shocked by the female involvement in the 20th Century Pentecostal uprise. I wonder what it was that got them moving...or allowed them to move. At this point, women could not even vote yet. #GNS211#iamjustsocurious#iamnittalkingfeminismhere#donotfret
On the outside, Shailer Matthew’s Modernist Manifesto seems legit. I suppose there was much liberty taken with the interpretation of his words. I’m torn; I am equally afraid of my own interpretations as I am one person leading the church #GNS211#whatamess
I am certain that Descartes had a fever when he concluded that “I think, therefore I am.” Or perhaps he was blind; could he not see the futility of relying on broken humanity for all truth? #GNS211#heyatleasthewasthinking#toobadmostoftheworldagreed
“Can human nature and existence be explained and adequately understood without reference to God?” Every worldview is centred on the belief or unbelief of God; it always comes back to God. He is in everything and I love it. #GNS211#Heismyeverything
The White Man’s Burden. I never understood where Christians conceived the idea; Christ never forced a culture to change unless they failed to fulfill Scripture in their conduct. Perhaps these believers had a pooor understanding of Scripture. #GNS211
I cannot fathom life without the industrial revolution, but I am saddened by the pain that it brought. Home was defined as a dark overcrowded, ill-ventilated room. I cannot comprehend that. #GNS211
I never considered the confusion that 19th century Christians would have faced regarding slavery. If Paul never condemned slavery, then abolishing it would have seemed foolish. #GNS211#whatastrangethought#ittookawartostopslavery
‘Oh no I get it, I’m spiritual too. That’s cool that you’re so strong in what you believe.’ I have heard this for a while now, but it’s nothing new. There is only one true God - one Jesus Christ. #GNS211#schleiermacher#wheredidthetruthgo
I am shocked that followers of Calvin prioritized predestination in their stance more than Calvin did himself! I would love to talk to him today - this topic is intriguing to me. #GNS211#questioning#keepyourdoctrinefresh
Reading of the tortures that took place in Japan makes me wonder how humans can think of things so sick. World Wars, genocides, terrorist attacks, etc. are due to the Ruler of this world and our fallen human nature. Thank Jesus for salvation and freedom from these things! #GNS211
