He warns that we can't treat Scripture like a myth or hold to Biblical morality without holding onto the supernatural Christ.<br /><br />We are now 45 years later. The church still isn't ready for the fight. But I see some signs of life stirring in my neck of the woods.RMBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13603112499567064214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-31008013062201729222021-04-25T06:04:08.716-07:002021-04-25T06:04:08.716-07:00Swimming in the post-modern, critical-theory strea...Swimming in the post-modern, critical-theory stream, many Christians believe they can control the flow of the river.bionic mosquitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002548958078731031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-73478480194422062142021-04-24T12:04:24.974-07:002021-04-24T12:04:24.974-07:00i think you are wide of the mark, because you are ...i think you are wide of the mark, because you are missing many pieces of the puzzle, so to speak.<br /><br /><br />Shadow of the Third Century: A Revaluation of Christianity, will provide some perspective. it can be found here (or on amazon, if you prefer) <br /><br />https://ia800306.us.archive.org/24/items/ShadowOfTheThirdCentury-ARevaluationOfChristianity/Shadow-of-the-Third-Century-A-Revaluation-of-Christianity-by-Alvin-Boyd-Kuhn.pdfnot_youhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07814293433511798502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-54012752588028947622021-04-23T20:50:47.466-07:002021-04-23T20:50:47.466-07:00Augustine's City of God is hilarious in some p...Augustine's City of God is hilarious in some parts where he mocks pagans and excoriates political power. He calls empires thieves. I like that guy.<br /><br />He is a little bit about The Who though. They are the both that source of most of what came after them. The Who musically. Augustine doctrinally. Many of the outflows are opposites too. That makes them both even more interesting.RMBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13603112499567064214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-22947959956122656892021-04-23T09:17:20.739-07:002021-04-23T09:17:20.739-07:00Bionic, it sure looks like you're on the front...Bionic, it sure looks like you're on the front end of a major roll, judging by your latest posts.<br /><br />In case anyone is wondering why the world is going to hell in a handbasket - this is it in a nutshell:<br />"The City of God, however, is not disconnected from the world; its role – its duty – was to judge society and also be the source of its renewal. It was this purpose that would energize Christendom in the coming centuries.<br /><br />It is one role that the church must play today, and is uniquely suited to play. Unfortunately, it has, for the most part, abandoned this work."Crush Limbrawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11511707894293049606noreply@blogger.com
