Questions For the Heart and Mind
Universal Life Church
Universal Life Church
1. Do you believe it's possible to "throw out the dirty bathwater in Christianity and still keep the baby"? How would you define the "baby" and what needs to change?
The "Baby" is the Christian Church as it stands today. Be it Catholic or Protestant, a lot of what the Churches 'preach' was initially developed from the idea that the Priests had the knowledge and the congregation needed to seek/hear the knowledge. Back then, most could not read, only the Priests could. As it still stands today, most revere what the ministry says, and do little research of their own. This is slowly changing. The Dirty bathwater could be the Gnostic books kept away from the Church. The Catholic Bible does contain the Wisdom books, and I do not know completely how they view them. Mystic Christianity is not viewed much at all by 'traditional' Churches. I think the new reality of combining the two (Use King James Bible and, say the book, "The Gnostic Bible." Why not?)
- Who is Jesus for you today in your life?
Jesus was a great man who wished for peace and unity amongst people. He gave us a new hope, and he had many good followers. was he an avatar for God, or his Son, or a combination of both? I'd truly like to think his 'energy' still permeates the earth, and we can always feel it's warmth if we seek it.
