I would like to talk about this more. I cannot get my heart around the Bible as "the word"...as THE place to go for THE ANSWER to everything. I have also heard...
Just for me - I used to think that way mostly, but I think I've also held it somewhere in between the two extremes. Rather than a "book of answers" maybe it's...
Is it in NKOC or one of the other 2 where Dan talks about 'romancing the bible and letting it romance us'. I remember that line very fondly as I found it...
Yes, I'm agreeing with how important the book is and the wisdom contained in it and chiefly what it means to follow God. And that it supplies as many...
where in NKOC are you referring, i would like to read that. This topic keeps coming up. Last night at a prayer meeting "the Word" kept coming up. I have been...
Did my post of yesterday come through to everyone? I raised a similar question in there as to whether we are to believe anything about the bible and the...
There is confusion amongst Christians when they refer to the Bible as the Word of God. Actually the written Bible is *Scripture* whereas when the Bible talks...
Here is my current take on the Bible: It is divinely inspired but not inerrant. It was written by men within the context of their cultural lenses. They...
profound This is a huge misunderstanding among believers. Causes people to memorize and use the words instead of developing the relationship with God through...
Caustin, This is interesting, thanks for your post. Does one of your nodes include other books? This is something I've been pondering over recently also and...
Thank you, I love this! and thank you for adding psychology in the mix. My biggest inkling lately is that "Christians" use "the Word" to avoid doing the deep...
Hi Theresa - glad you found my thoughts below helpful. Just one further thought about your 'obligation' to tell others. Personally, I have had to leave a...
yes. amen. However, our pastor is trying to build something deep and I am all for it. I am going through a divorce and long for deeper relationships in my...
That "romance" section is in NKOC Ch. 7 (Letting the Bible Read Us) on page 57 fifth paragraph. Quite a refreshing way of thinking... Interesting comments on...
Hi Im not sure what group this is or how I got in on it ?? Can some one enlighten me ?? Ive read some of the posts and find it very very interesting..I may of...
... It's a group to discuss the 'New Kind of Christian Book'(s) by Brian McClaren. Thx Dvaid From: NKOC@yahoogroups.com [mailto:NKOC@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf...
Dan and NEOs walk ends with Dan breaking his walking stick around a tree and then throwing the other half in the woods. The most profound statement in this...
I think sometimes the problem is where we start from. I became a Christian in my early 20's. My background faith wise was, think pretty common; that kind of...
My start came from Catholicism with plenty of doctrine so NEOs way of thinking is pretty radical from my background. Definitely has me thinking... I agree on...
Hi Chris! What a great question. My friends at Presence Ministries have a unique take on this, drawn from the insights of NT Wright, Brueggemann, Buechner and ...
Hi friends, One of the pieces of Brian McLaren's work I've found so helpful is his brief (but powerful!) Open Letter to Emerging Songwriters. Have you read it?...
I have another comment Chris. Regarding the whole end time prophetic thing, like the Left Behind Series. I grew up in a lot of different countries, so am...
I think an artist who sets the bar for songwriting for me is Bruce Cockburn. Check out In The Falling Dark, just as one example of a Christian voice that seems...
Hi all, Has anyone else read 'Deliver Us from Me-Ville' by Dave Zimmerman? If so, check out my own thoughts from yesterday & feel free to add yours: ...
...so today I took some time off from my more indulgent blog wackiness<http://zoecarnate.wordpress.com/2008/12/10/im-getting-a-rom/>and blogged about something...
Hi everyone, I was one of Russ' best friends back from college days at Hardin-Simmons. (He was the original founder of this group.) In the early days of...
Dear New Kind of Christian group, Thank you to all who responded to my post re: David Rohl DVDs earlier this summer. Some of you may remember David Rohl from...
Dear NKOC group, Thank you to all who responded to my summer posts! We have a lot of David Rohl updates. First of all, the goal is to get David over here to...
