A religious post for Sunday

skip it if it's not your thing; those who do watch, I hope you won't be distracted by the subtitles. It's about how we label ourselves: there's a religious message attached to this, but even if you label yourself "atheist" or "non-believer" or "ex-Catholic" or WHATEVER, you're welcome and loved for WHO YOU ARE here at this blog. You have your path, and it may not include religion. That is not for me to decide for you, ever. The message of this video is, "are you ready to be you?" That's all.





PS. I did a little research on this Rob Bell guy and there are a lot of Evangelicals who HATE him because he doesn't reserve Truth capital T for Jesus and the Bible to the exclusion of everything else. HONESTLY.

His response
: "When people say that the authority of Scripture or the centrality of Jesus is in question, actually it's their social, economic and political system that has been built in the name of Jesus that's being threatened."

AMEN!

    There's a stream of joy beneath his words. Kind of reminds me of the Book of Matt.

    Bell should remember Jacob emerged from his struggle with his angel victorious, but not unscathed.

    24And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.

    25And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.


    (Sorry to go all chapter and verse on you, BG.)
