DISQUS

Thanks for the letter Jim Wallis. I think that it is really great when one strives to bridge the gap between religions (progressive/evangelical) or party lines. Give some history, define things etc. I might not have agreed with it all, but thanks for your effort and all that went into it.

Belief in the Bible as the final
authority concerning all
matters of faith and practice.
(out of Wallis letter)

--------------------------------------------------

This was one (the third one) of Wallis' core beliefs of evangelicals. It was refreshing to realize (or remind) myself that I am not evangelical, just not who I am. I have nothing against evangelicals either. I know some great people who are evangelicals and it fits for them. I think that's awesome. And I am so tired of the you are a progressive, liberal, conservative, evangelical....therefore you are wrong or right....yikes!!!!

And the posts on this site are usually the same people going back and forth it. So it seems when I visit. And this topic on trying to get people to come together politically/ or religiously is one that I feel very strongly (in a good, not forceful- a compassionate way).

I believe God is much bigger than what we like to put him in (maybe a box). I don't believe the Bible is the "final authroity." God is the final authority. And that "authority" comes in many ways. I am definatley not saying the bible is not true....just don't believe it's the "final authority" concerning all matters of faith and practice."

And yes I am a Christian. Would consider myself to be a Christian Pluralist. Desiring peaceful relations between different religions....experiencing other ways to worship God. Some who read this may think I'm going down in flames...that's okay (assumption). I know I'm not.

I highly recommend. Talks much about different ideas and religions. Our nation is made up of different people, ideas, religions, atheism. A better understanding would bring people closer together (good for society) and one may find that learning sometimes happens from those of the opposite faith of your own and you grow deeper in your walk. Jesus desires us to grow deeper in our walk with him, wouldn't you agree that is biblical? Jesus made each of us unique therefore making our society so diverse and unique as well.

Learn about others, learn what makes them love their particular religion/spiritual path or God/ and I'm really going out on a limb....political views.... the way that you love/feel your own. I think that you might be surprised by what you experience. It's been a process for me and I'm still learning and keeping myself open to it. Not easy.

Namaste~
