Looking for a resource(s) on the apostle Paul and how his theology morphed over 17 years as he worked things out from his first letter (1 Thess. maybe) to his last. Anybody?
@BrianMetzgerRNC @BrianZahnd@greg_boyd@mikeraburn anyone?
The past 5 years, living slowly, intentionally & not busy have been my goals. Thanks to Covid/ALS I now find my life thriving in these spaces in a greater way. More space in life for leisure & whimsy when I’m not busy. And the time w/ people -even more rich & beautiful
@aPastorsStory I suppose I’m asking, if the actual word means Christ follower then there is no need to believe those things. To follow the ways of Christ is to be a Xian. However, the Christian religion would disagree, right?
Sincere question: if a Christian is a Christ follower, is it possible to then be a Christian and not believe in the virgin birth, miracles of Jesus or the resurrection? But still follow Jesus the Christ?
Is it possible that the Divine actually is caught off guard or caught by surprise when things happen in our lives? I think so. I could be wrong. But I could be right. Or in the middle. Or....just read a little more here: https://t.co/3DLHBaQPFl
We are pastors; not super heroes. We will always look for reconciliation.
3. We will follow the ways of Jesus and cooperate with the spirit of god as best we know how and invite you to do the same
4. We will always give our heart to pastoring and loving you
Kristy and I had a family style meeting with our church community tonight. We reiterated the four truths/promises that we started this church with:
1. We will not pretend or fake it with you & will not make up answers if we don’t know.
2. We will disappoint and/or offend you
