The Problem is how can a Bible believing Christian be both faithful to their Christian calling without demonizing other faiths?
My only solution, if I were a Christian, would be to accept that the Spirit of God is not only available to those who accept Christian doctrine, but rather to all who practice a […]

a myth belonging to the fantasy world of Cortexia. Written and created by Mahud.
The ancient Niadic people told a story of Verteepo very different to the Therazians. They claimed that Verteepo (‘poverty’) is a corruption of the word ‘teebu’, meaning “all that is beautiful.” It is true that his passage from the realm of divine […]

Another contribution to the International Pagan Values Blogging Month
I don’t believe we live in a universe where two opposing truths can both be true. Maybe that’s a little bit simplistic and un-philosophical of me. And I find myth a more helpful spiritual guide than philosophy. I’ve never been much in to scientific theories beyond my […]

What distinguishes the witness of the prophets and the apostles, so that it can have this significance for the existence of the congregation and its proclamation to the world? After all, they were men fallible as we are, children of their time as we are of ours, and their spiritual horizon was as limited as […]

In my early twenties (Now 35) I dedicated my life to Christ. Was baptised. I truly believed the Bible to be the FULL ON word of God, was infallible, and anyone who did not turn away from evil and accept Jesus into their lives would be eternally separated from God.
I was Christian for 10 […]

In my recent post Would You Like to Know the Truth? Part 2 (Will war and suffering ever end?), Tom challenged the idea that Jesus and the repentant thief, who hung next to him upon the cross, entered paradise upon the point of death. Now, I personally do not accept this Biblical account as historical, […]

This post contains an extract from my current book project titled The Cosmic Double-Death (And Cyclic re-creation through the Dying God). The bibliography for this post is too extensive to include here, but may be available on request.
The Proto-Gospel
And I will put enmity between you and the woman,
between your seed and her seed.
He (or […]

The Feast of the Baptism of the Lord is observed by the Roman Catholic and Anglican Churches after Epiphany, while the Eastern Orthodox Commemorates Jesus’ baptism on Epiphany 1..
It is not the day when Christ was born that should be called Epiphany”, says St. John Chrysostom, “but the day when He was baptized. Not […]

I’m spiritually inept.
Part of my problem is unbelief. This has a lot to do with why I ceased living as a Christian. To be precise, my prayer life ceased. For intermittent periods of time over 10 years, I would pray. I would repeatedly pray for myself and others, but nothing in my life […]

Dionysus, accompanied by his army of bacchic revellers, was accredited as the universal distributor of his own worship and the knowledge of the vine. Like Noah, he was the inventor of wine, and like Soma, he himself was the ambrosial drink poured out, everywhere releasing mankind from suffering. Below, in one of many magnificent […]

I discovered the article Why Pagans Aren’t Really Pagan, via Under a Violet Sun, submitted to Metapagan. Basically the author claims that just because the ancients did not identify themselves as Pagan, then modern day Pagans are nothing of the sort.
One thing moderns who think of themselves as pagans have that ancient pagans never […]

Finding my spiritual path is not easy. What I know, or think I know, about the imminent and transcendent, is always a major influence on my thinking, but somehow I need to loosen my grip on my subjective projections onto everything, and try to elevate my thoughts and experiences to a different level. I need […]

Is anyone familiar with what C.S Lewis terms Joy, or Sehnsucht (German: Longing)? Have you ever experienced it, and what evoked the experience?
I plan on writing a fuller explanation of C.S Lewis’s definition of ‘Joy’ in a future post, for anyone who may be unfamiliar with the concept, and provide a few personal encounters of […]

I became a Christian around the age of twenty-one. My life before Jesus was not unlike many other Christians-to-be, whose testimonies you might of heard. I was very much a sinner. I cared about others, but I also placed my needs and desires above everyone else.
Christianity was there when I needed it
I took a […]

Thanks to Kay for linking to this post. if you want to cut to the chase, this is My view of Christianity and why it no longer works for me
In my original about page I crammed what I believed into these sentances:
All living things were created to exist in complete harmony with God in Eternity, […]

The description of a divine encounter given below, is almost identical to an experience I had a number of times, about ten years ago. I was on the verge of becoming a Christian, but I was unable to believe in God. I would lay on my bed at night and kind of ‘meditate’ desperate for […]

I think we need to understand evil and sin as a state of imbalance. The word ‘sin’, in New Testament Greek, is Hamartano, which carries the meaning ‘to miss the mark’ (New Strong’s, 1996). Sin is the by-product of selfish desire, which springs into being when the self and its desires are not aligned with […]

The most striking use of sacred space in the Old Testament appears to be employed to reflect the relationship that exists between God and Israel, His chosen people. The same understanding of sacred space is also apparent in the New Testament where the relationship is between God and ‘spiritual Israel’, through the person of Jesus […]
