What is the Christian spectrum these days?

[Kimmio Laughterlove]

I don't feel such peace and justice is ever going to happen Cousin, before Christ comes again. Until that happens, there are too many people - Family members even - stabbing each other in the back.

Then there's the idea that we will know the Kingdom, the Messiah, has arrived, once peace and justice is restored. It's an abstract "work" in progress, that happens by faith that it can.

The Christian spectrum is varied ... thus the rub for the stoically set in their ways ... they can't change or learn ...

What is the Christian spectrum these days?

It is what it always was: from absolutism to relativism, from theism to atheism, from dogmatic to experiential, and innumerable variations in between the two extremes. Take your pick!

I pick the entire spectrum.

The question is where do you fall on the line in the light of wisdom ... something beyond the overly emotional?

 

[Luce NDs]

Emotions are heavily leaned upon as heaven lies ... somewhere else in truth? Something not known!

Hellenistic screw up of emotional context ... unknown syntax? How mny words don't we know ... by choice? In a twist of tongues this become joice ... or Joeis ... and thus the common Joe is .. familiar and forgotten in gritty sibling rivalry ... competition to see who has more avarice?

We are a competitive gripe of wrath ... if you look at the collective self ... a social dilemma ... cloes to enigma? An time is a puzzle to unravel ... and none too Sue in ...

 

[Luce NDs]

Thus the fate of the significant other supportive person ... X-pelle 'd biZ ues ... integral somnolent eues that are abused all around ... thus not Utilitarian in Philosophy ... the love of wisdom and knowledge ... leaving us in a state of naïveté really all bent out of virtual shape, as we lie here ... unable to raise ath aught ... as caption, or a bubble to burst?

I would say "fundie" is about attitude while fundamentalist is about belief in the "5 Fundamentals" (inerrancy of Scripture, Virgin Birth, Physical Resurrection, Sacrificial Substitutionary Atonement, Return of Jesus). Therefore not all fundamentalists are "fundies". At various times I have seen you express that attitude. And in fact the same attitude is present in many philosophical schools

Personally when I use either "fundy" or "fundamentalist" (interchangeable to me) I'm speaking more about a persons politics than their faith. Yes the person is probably either evangelical (another tricky term to define) or conservative Catholic, but I'd be more referring to them being anti-gay rights, anti-abortion, pro-gun, pro-war, climate change denial, etc. Maybe that's an American thing.

This is "the way it is" attitude with no desire to learn or change?

The process goes on invisible ...
