Subject: Revised... Author: Liberal [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 11:15:45 01/31/05 Mon In reply to: Liberal 's message, "Me too..." on 09:37:28 01/31/05 Mon >²z©Ê§i¶D§Ú¯«¤£¤@©w¦s¦b >¦ý·P±¡¤W¹ï¤@­Ó·O·Rªº¤W«Ò«o¦V©¹... Very good. I am feeling the same. This is my sharing: http://www.voy.com/174951/5/1.html Search through the Archives of this Forum, there are many inspiring articles here. The site provided by Ken is only a typical Conservative Christian site. From the single comment on us from Ken, you can see the all-too-familiar self-righteous mentality of Conservatives, as if they were the spokepersons of God! I have been a Conservative Christian for more than 10 years before discovering the value of Liberal Christianity. It was precisely because Conservatism (traditional teachings of the church) failed (voy.com/174951/5/291.html) to answer my questions of faith (the crucial one is the one you have just stated) that I turned to Liberalism . I want to explore beyond the typical answers provided by Conservatives. And Liberalism provides the space for me to explore without pushing the traditional answers on me or labelling me as a trouble-maker. The purpose of this Liberal Christian Forum is similar---to provide an online space for us to doubt. You have come to the right place. You may ask what is Liberalism/Liberal Christianity. If you ask me now, I would provide an extremely simple answer: Christianity in which it is O.K. to doubt! To know more about Liberalism, you may refer to the following thread: http://www.voy.com/174951/3/1088.html In fact, you don't even need to consider Liberalism. Just affirm that you have the right to think, to ask, to doubt, and to challenge traditional church teachings and at the same time being faithful to God. Explore without being blocked by traditional taboos, and God will guide you the way. And we are eager to listen to your questions and what you have found so far. >¥i¥HÂI? ¦³¤H¥i¥H¦P§Ú¶É¤U¶Ü? I am more than willing to talk with you. Let us support each other on our journeys of quest for Truth! [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
