Think that had much to do with the 60’s “back to the Garden” but not to God mentality?
That is a lovely and thought-provoking characterization. I think that's JUST what too many were doing.
IMHO, as my pastor said when I jokingly told him that I wanted to take back my offering of suffering to God, "God doesn't do 'do-overs.'" Though there might be some debate about passing through Eden, we do not get to linger. God has something far far better in mind.
A blessed Advent and a Merry Christmas to you. Come, Lord Jesus!
Yes, Back to the Garden meant without moral law and clothes. Whiles Woodstock is celebrated as an example of how beautiful the “free (as in uncommitted) love” ethos, Haight Ashbury is a real example.
Yet not all were rebels against moral authority and seeking a Christless utopia they could only find thru drugs, many of who run the MSM it seems, but some were looking for the reality, and found it in such churches as Calvary Chapel. Wonderful moves btw on that, http://www.calvarychapel.com/media/VENTURE.mp4 (download) in which i see God moving to reach these in the “Jesus movement,” while it lasted.
Is the thread dead yet?
