Well I’m a 25 year fundie. Been all sorts of places because of faith. Even Latvia.
But what I am doesn’t matter at ALL compared to what the Christ (incarnated as Jesus) is. I might not have all the theological corners duct taped down redneckly enough. And so what. Christ is the radical’s radical.
He’s trying to dig your mind out of the world’s reasoning system and get it thinking in God’s reasoning system, which is a bold promise of grace. Poof, your sins will be GONE. What, are you crazy, God? Well yes. Crazy enough to die on a cross.
Man’s philosophizing does not hold a candle to this. It can’t. It is utterly within the prerogative of the divine. And the power is yours the moment you believe it. The trouble is we are weak! We struggle to believe such outlandish ideas! Our minds come up with a million “Yeah, buts!”
I’m the fundiest of fundies, but I figure when I reach perfection myself, then I can lecture strangers on the internet regarding their faults as perceived by myself, from a few comments on a political forum
