RE-THINKING OUR FAITH

If your old religion no longer works, then change it. When we look squarely at the old religion, we can see an untenable discrimination of women and people of different race, culture and sexual preferences and practices. Fortunately, many have come to the realization that an omnipotent God is not keen on rescue operations. What is your view of God? Are you obsessed with beliefs, creeds and dogma? Perhaps, you need to ask, “Do I need to re-think my faith?”
My faith changed when I understood the implications of the new cosmology. Consequently, my view of the inspiration of scripture also changed. While the Gospels are inspired, they are not the exact words of God from his/her throne in the heavens.
I am grateful for trail-blazing scripture scholars who were light years ahead of me, and who helped me close the gap between ancient scriptures and contemporary new cosmology. These scholars brought new insights and opened my eyes to the human Jesus. It was not so much the post-Easter Christ, but the pre-Easter Jesus that changed me.
