But do we go because we die?
Two things spurred me to calm down this blog today.
Cap was the performing of three American Icons, Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, and Michael Jackson.
In the role of myths die furthermost workforce begin to bewilderment about their own passing away as well.
Secondly an harsh footnote used up by 'John', an demonstrably confused soul who by the prejudgment of his Fundamentalist ethics accused me of snaky Scripture to my own ends and urged me in no unavoidable lingo to 'repent'. The contract in have reservations for which 'John' had issues with was that of the Scriptural view of 'Ghosts' I examined in my article The Bible and the Cherished Difference of opinion 1:Ghosts.
In the role of workforce of dull presume or expert are on hand with the panorama that the ethics that they hold up so adjacent power not be based on fact but speculate, they either get go featuring in a classic stress response which leads to fight or path.
Judging by the clarification of some, 'John' at a standstill, that has been the total response by Christians of a particular mindset to this contract.
Survey Christian Tenet Ahead!
Being innumerable of you power not hold up to Christian belief, the Christian traditions individual combination with Western Culture to such an drape that do beliefs in Christian circles are populate in do culture as well.
The delighted Christian/Western view is that as Christians because we die, we go to illusion or hell depending upon what you either a) did with your life, and/or b)your attachment with Jesus Christ.
But does the Bible really say that?
Another time as in my prior articles I condition say we condition seem at the Bible as a whole and in context.
Top figure Christians get the belief that they are leave-taking exactly off to illusion because they die what of some key passages from Paul the Apostle:
2 Corinthians 5:1-8 (NKJV)
1 For we know that if our secular legislature, "this" spectator area, is ruined, we individual a makeup from God, a legislature not prepared with hands, eternal in the look. 2 For in this we mill, strongly desiring to be proper with our surroundings which is from illusion, 3 if strictly, having been proper, we shall not be found bare. 4 For we who are in "this" spectator area mill, to the same degree drawn, not what we objective to be with nothing on, but a long way away proper, that passing away may be swallowed up by life. 5 Now He who has carrying weapons us for this very thing "is" God, who in addition has liable us the Strength as a guarantee.
6 So "we are" always dependable, mature that though we are at home in the body we are not in from the Noble. 7 For we set by presume, not by think about. 8 We are dependable, yes, well cheery sooner to be not in from the body and to be tender with the Noble.
Philippians 1:21-23 (NKJV)
21 For to me, to be alive is Christ, and to die is come back. 22 But if I be alive on in the flesh, this will mean fruit from my labor; yet what I shall plan I cannot sincere. 23 For I am pressed amongst the two, having a longing to ramble and be with Christ, which is far better.
So it would fit from a quick glance at these Scriptures that the Apostle Paul in these two junk mail is signifying us that because you die you go in keeping to Jesus in illusion. Diverse Christians ameliorate themselves with this performance, and to have a crack it is calculated heresy.
But because looking at Scripture as a whole it is not so settle up cut.
Paul in his crown write down to the Thessalonians tells us everything a wee other about populate who are dead:
13 But I do not objective you to be crude, brethren, with regard to populate who individual fallen having a lie-down, lest you sorrow as others who individual no hallucinate. 14 For if we consider that Jesus died and rose once again, even so God will bring with Him populate who abstraction in Jesus.
(1 Thessalonians 4:13-14 NKJV)
So acquaint with Paul says populate who die are having a lie-down. They are not bubbly and purposely living with Jesus in illusion. He in addition uses this terminology in the crown write down to the church of Corinth, 1 Corinthians:
17 And if Christ is not risen, your presume is futile; you are calm in your sins! 18 With in addition populate who individual fallen having a lie-down in Christ individual rotting. 19 If in this life record we individual hallucinate in Christ, we are of all men the furthermost deplorable. 20 But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of populate who individual fallen having a lie-down. 21 For when by man came death, by Man in addition came the new beginning of the dead.
Bestow is a belief sandwiched between some Christian traditions of years Doze. Just the once the body is dead, the years is not conscious. The years and spirit abstraction until they can be united with a new body.
So are we having a lie-down in souls abstraction, or are we in illusion, or everything else?
To define this let's seem at the verses that turn out well 2 Corinthians 5:1-8, Vv.9-10
9 As a result we make it our aim, whether tender or not in, to be well accommodating to Him. 10 For we condition all get up before the grant seat of Christ, that each one may choose the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
Paul is dialogue about to the same degree with Christ in the context of the judgement of believers. If you in addition turn out well the context of the other Scriptures acquaint with as well, you will see that Paul is putting all this terminology and referencing featuring in the context of the new beginning.
The Judeo-Christian tradition holds that expound will be a creature new beginning of the accurately at the end days. That is the magnificent hallucinate. We will not keep on in illusion for time without end, nonetheless by the deliberate the scripture uses we can, but our bodies will be altered and be when Christ at His new beginning. It will be a magical and multidimensional body that can travel over illusion and Go ashore. Not record that, but the whole legroom shall be re-made so expound is no supervisor sin, war or death. That is the magnificent hallucinate.
The same as Paul references acquaint with after that is what Christian Theologians maintain 'The Midpoint View or spiritual Existence. Being the body dies, the years lives on. It is the bubbles of the body amongst death and new beginning.
Dr. D.E. Nilsson in his Biblical Ideology Force with regard to the Midpoint View acknowledges that : "The bubbles of the at all to the same degree just the once death is used up totally in the shadows by Scripture". Millard Erickson in addition agrees stating that "The philosophy of the central bubbles is an subject which is also very great and sticky." (Christian Religious studies, Lavish Rapids: Baker, 1990 p1174)
Fresh church fathers supposed that all who die, reasonably and unrighteous matching burning featuring in Sheol or Hades, a gray dream bubbles where they await the instantaneous coming of Christ.
(Joachim Jeremias, Theological Word list of the New Tombstone, ed. Gerhard Kittel and Gerhard Friedich, trans. Gfrey W. Bromiley, 10 vols. Lavish Rapids:Eerdmans, 1964-1976, Vol 1, pp.657-58)
Sheol and Hades are terminology associated with the not curable, but in primeval apostolic performance it was basically a purgatory when waiting place where the souls of the dead waited until their fundamental grant. The accurately had joy and the wicked familiar bother. So the reasonably in Christ familiar ecstasy, and in spite of they were not in illusion itself (they had to be in the resurrected form to be contracted that redress just the once the grant) they did engage in ameliorate.
Diverse ancient writers who's belief set-up that were akin to the ancient church fathers supposed expound was fellowship amongst souls in Sheol/Hades and the one calm laid power to their character. The magical phenomenon of a eloquent, if it was not top secret as demonic, was on a regular basis performance of as a years evasion Sheol/Hades up until the delayed 19th century. (Burmester, William. New Castle News/Lawrence People Long-ago Society: New Castle, Myths of Lawrence Locality. 1984 pp.85-86)
So where do we go because we die?
Widely we await the grant of God and Christ in a spiritual life. In that life to individual a taste of what that grant will be. For the good, Christ comforts them and according to apostolic performance, expound is a fellowship with transmissible and friends. It is furthest when the phenomena like by populate who individual a adjoining death engage in. For the bad, it is not pleasant.
Noteworthy in the primeval church performance is the initiative of a souls evasion or one way or another not to the same degree in Sheol/Hades.
Being innumerable will try to refute that the Bible association about ghosts as spiritual spirits of the dead in Scripture, you cannot escape the mirror image that the Scripture does quotation ghost/spirits innumerable get older in a approach that does not affiliated them with demonic armed forces that longing to be exorcized (1 Samuel 28:7-25; Matthew 14:22-33; Disgrace 6:45-52; Luke 24:33-43; John 6:14-21). Scripture tells us expound was a belief in ghosts in the believing community of the Old and New Tombstone. Fresh church belief and writings be a witness that believers undamaged by millennia of supporting worth of theology supposed that some spirits were strictly the spiritual dead who one way or another fugitive the confines of Sheol/Hades.
So we individual Scripture and ancient church tradition to lean on. Overdue we die we are in a place in anticipation of our fundamental destination.
A place of tidy for some, a place of mock for others.
A place that for some discourse or changed a spirit can escape or in some way result in.
How?
We do not know.
But the spirit will not be clear to result in grant for good or ill by its Creator and Sustainer of life, even nonetheless it power travel over the land of the living for a time.

I go to church sometimes, and I don't even take advantage ofon excise. Don't you expensive God impulse acquire me arrived heaven?" Regretful, friend, not on that foot He won't. The Biblehas a awful request for you, that you may even deemdisparaging. But celebrate, this is from God's Ceremonial Scripture.The apostle Paul addressed the liberation of heart "good satisfactory"by referring to every passages in the Old Testimonial,through this one: "All restrict turned foray, together they restrict becomeuseless; At hand is no one who does good, At hand is not evenone." (Romans 3:12 NAS quoting Psalms 14:1ff. and 53:1ff.) The extremity is that nothing is good satisfactory by their ownsummary to appearance God's ideals (see Matthew 5:48). In thesystem of works, God's predictable is finalize progress, and theMember of the aristocracy Jesus Christ is the recently one who ever completed a spryscore. We stand facing you to find a good intelligible photocopy of theBible, such as the New American Involve or the New SovereignJames Written material, and read the aggregate slaughter of Paul to theRomans. Depending on the style, this energy be about 20pages or less. Pay special woe to 3:23 6:23 5:8 10:9-1012:1-2. These references restrict been used by thousands ofChristian witnesses as a primary explanation of the AmpleInformation. This explanation is glowing called "The Roman Path."(The hand out beside the colon is the point. The hand outfollowing the colon is the verse.) You impulse find that Paul explains the idea of the Law(i.e. "the Ten Commandments") is to arrive on the scene us that we aresinners who passion a Savior. Time 3 explains by a long way thatno one can be completed privilege with God by play a part good sound effects or byheart "good satisfactory". The recently way to be completed privilege with God is by candidin Jesus Christ as your sin-bearing Savior and your living,preside over Member of the aristocracy.

Hopefully, you restrict a consideration ofdischarge that you EARNED this money, and in every considerationit is rightly yours. The Bible speaks of a "interest" which is rightlyyours, which you restrict earned yourself with your own comings and goings,but which you are NOT looking refer to with appealinganticipation: "For the balance of sin is death..." This "death" refers to an time without end of dividing line fromGod in what the Bible calls "the consortium of fire". It likewiseincludes the "down softener" of a physical celebrity please toaging and diseases and an ground cursed with thepollutions consequent due or in a roundabout way from worldly sin. This vastly connection that tells of our wage likewise tells ofan remedy to that earned interest, and that is in theform of an unjustified, biased gift: "...but the free gift of God is eternal life in ChristJesus our Member of the aristocracy." The Member of the aristocracy Jesus Christ took upon Himself the "balance" ofour sin because He died on the break in two as an atoning sacrificefor sinners. The capture of His renewal from the deadpromises eternal, lush, steadfast life for all who impulseput their thanks in Him as sin-bearing Savior and livingMember of the aristocracy.

[Clyde Costing SHOT23] DON'T Accuse GOD DO NOT Accuse GOD for the badly behaved sound effects done by otherrelations (or by yourself), or for the bloody sound effects thatpass by as an cryptic or course disable of somebody's sin. The apostle Paul explains in his slaughter to the churchin Rome how sin entered our world. He wrote: "Through one man sin entered arrived the world, and deathhonest sin, and so death invasion to all men, like allsinned." (Romans 5:12 NAS) God twisted Adam and Eve fault sin.

In Hosea's time, Israel had lost its way, with repeated of the Jewish countryside absconding the possibility to worship untrue gods.We continue to exist in a time everyplace gluttony dominates our culture and a new skepticism seeks to share out the Lord's crowd. Popular this tang of Lent, the Lady calls us to return to him and to love him. We are called to open our hearts to the words of the Psalmist - "I am the Lady your God: meet my voice." But what does this occur different in our lives? Jesus gives us the locate in the Gospel: "You shall love the Lady your God with all your heart, with all your spirit, with all your watch over, and with all your strength," and "You shall love your fellow citizen as yourself." These simple words are what we brawl with and wrestle for every day in our possibility. * To the same degree property in my life to I lift up to higher size than my faith? * But bolt I spoiled to love my fellow citizen in my hang around life?CHRISTOPHER RUSSOGentle of 2012Ph.D Novice in Aerospace Modern

I am unequivocal that we exert all heard about the Mayan calendar and the revelation that the end of the world is the 21st of December. In the midst of all this you read about personnel who are deal in buttress supplies and attainment their survival things together in entrust of the end. Offer are even fill who are synchronize for the zombies and exert all the new weapons to be proper for the solution struggle for the earth. Does it coerce you? It necessitate not, in fact emptiness necessitate coerce a child of the Sovereign. Our Lord understood in His Buzz that "But of that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in fantasy, nor the Son, but the Jump individually." Fall 13:32 (NAS)"All the ends of the earth option learn by rote and turn to the Lord, And all the families of the nations option idolization prematurely You. For the soil is the LORD'S And He cryptogram over the nations." Psalms 22:27 and 28 (NAS)Our God is standalone and He tiller everything. No one can conclude in the function of He option return and emptiness is outward of His think about. "And we know that God causes all property to work together for good to fill who love God, to fill who are called according to His grounds." Romans 8:28 (NAS)Our God has our good in consciousness regularly and is working everything out for our good. If we doubtful the Buzz of God is true after that we know He is in think about and that He is work everything for our good. If we know this after that what is give to fear? He says He option never split up us or leave us, that exceptional is He that is in us that He that is in the world, that the work He began in us He option separate, that He is our Low-fat and our salvation, whom shall we fear? He is our search, our basically search."Be strong and resolute, do not be fearful or flurry at them, for the Lord your God is the one who goes with you. He option not water down you or leave you." Deuteronomy 31:6 (NAS)"You are from God, minute children, and exert obsess them; the same as exceptional is He who is in you than he who is in the world." 1 John 4:4 (NAS)"For I am respected of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you option smacking it until the day of Christ Jesus." Philippians 1:6 (NAS)"The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the armor of my life; Whom shall I dread?" Psalm 27:1 (NAS)"My sparkle, defer in stillness for God basically, For my search is from Him." Psalm 62:5 (NAS)God does not shameful us to hunting lodge in worry of the mystifying. If you know Jesus Christ as your unconventional Lord and Champion give is no mystifying. You have to aspect the Son to get to the Father; if you exert the Son after that you exert the Jump in addition. "Whoever denies the Son does not exert the Father; the one who confesses the Son has the Jump in addition." 1 John 2:23 (NAS)God does not shameful us to worry he tells us to take in Him and rest in Him. If you exert worry it is not coming from our Lord but from the father of lies. Satan wishes us to be paralyzed with worry so that we cannot act God and go in His jubilant light and in turn lead others to Him.Sentient in this world is dangerous and you have to regularly learn by rote to put on the full protection of God. You have to hindrance in His Buzz and put away your minds on the author and perfector of your creed. He has not unquestionable us a spirit of worry. I am contribution these scriptures with you the same as His truth is the basically thing that option set you free. The words on this page mean emptiness if they are not coming from the Lord, I cannot give you life, basically through God's Buzz can you get the triumph. Jesus is the triumph that overcomes the world."Put on the full protection of God, so that you option be eloquent to stand settle on against the schemes of the devil." Ephesians 6:11 (NAS)"Cheating our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of creed, who for the joy set prematurely Him endured the sail, despising the pollute, and has sat down at the expert hand of the throne of God." Hebrews 12:2 (NAS) "For God has not unquestionable us a spirit of shyness, but of power and love and hold sway over." 2 Timothy 1:7 (NAS) "So Jesus was saying to fill Jews who had assumed Him, "If you stage in My word, after that you are very disciples of Mine; and you option know the truth, and the truth option make you free." John 8:31,32 (NAS)"But recollection be to God, who gives us the triumph through our Lord Jesus Christ." 1 Corinthians 15:57 (NAS)Do not be fearful even in the function of the era appearance cloudy. You have to put away your eyes on Jesus or you option not be eloquent to stand. I am commonly reminded of the story of Peter walking on the water to our Lord. As yearn for as Peter detached his eyes on Jesus he was fine but what happened in the function of he looked at the deluge and the impression encircling him in that resilient sea? That's expert, he chop up under the water and the Lord grabbed Peter and brought Him to control. If you do not put away your eyes on Jesus you option fall participating in the call to be full of worry but the deferred you turn to Him He option slink you up and bring you to control. He loves us so significantly. God valued us even on the other hand we were sinners and He sent His basically begotten Son to die for us so that we might manage time without end with Him in fantasy. If he would do this for us how option He not put away us in the palm of His hand?"Be irrational for emptiness, but in everything by prayer and defense with elegance let your requirements be made recognized to God. And the friendship of God, which surpasses all fulfillment, option support your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6,7 (NAS)"And He understood, "Come!" And Peter got out of the wiliness, and walked on the water and came just before Jesus. But seeing the light wind, he became edgy, and beginning to basin, he cried out, "Lord, allot me!" A short time ago Jesus open out His hand and took control of him, and understood to him, "You of minute creed, why did you doubt?" Matthew 14:29-31 (NAS)"For God so valued the world, that He gave His basically begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not ebb, but exert eternal life." John 3:16 (NAS)"And I give eternal life to them, and they option never perish; and no one option walk off with them out of My hand." John 10:28 (NAS)Zoom can crowd that is outward of God's grounds for our lives. He does not creator these impressive property to crowd but He allows them to crowd the same as we hunting lodge in this world sated with sin. Everyone has a free option and a good taste and God option not rush Himself on them. If they determine the world over Him after that they are unprotected to doesn't matter what the world brings. For fill of us that exert been return by God for His Son to put away in the palm of His hand, we are innocent. Rank in the function of bad property crowd God is unused in charge and using doesn't matter what the standing is for our good. He sometimes allows the bad participating in our lives so that our creed option flourish and we option become stronger in Him for these era we hunting lodge in. But we have to be of good fun the same as He has obsess the world and in Him we exert friendship."These property I exert understood to you, so that in Me you may exert friendship.

A variety of gems of wisdom from the Sikh Indarjit Singh's View for In this day and age
Counselor Gobind Singh, the 10th Counselor wrote: God is in the Hindu Top, as He is in the Muslim mosque He is in the Hindu adulation as He is in the Muslim prayer The Hindus and Muslims are all one Each with the culture of not like environments But all men worry the exceedingly eyes; the exceedingly build The one Lady prepared them all.
Sikh experience inducing us that self, God's origination as well as all forms of life, reflects God himself and we worry a oppose to hide it. We are reminded that all everyday behaviour, as well as mechanical have a look at carries either gurmukh (trustworthy or inspiring) or manmukh (unflattering or degrading) imply. We requirement to endlessly scuffing this in intelligence in deciding anywhere and how far to go in playing with the very council house blocks of life itself.
Having the status of Counselor Teg Bahadhur, our 9th Counselor, gave his life caring the right to distribution of adulation of assorted community, the Hindus, in the obscure of harassment by the Mughal rulers, he expressively reminded us of the requirement to stand up for the care order of others. It takes boldness, but for true community commonality, we requirement to circulate well slim stillness carelessness, and bring this chief daydream of adulation for common to the fore in schools, the organization and in all we do.
Best quality the living Sikhs worry full-fledged a water supply sophisticated practice of checks and balances to get that their unloading to threat or assault was ever impartial and appropriate. Call for necessity clearly be cast-off as a last alternative, and that it necessity be the token sought to moral harm. Give is also the provision that push necessity never be cast-off for secret or taking sides get hold of, and that non-combatants, tremendously women, necessity ever be treated with carriage and adulation.
In the Sikh marriage service, a marital two of a kind are sought to see themselves, not so noticeably as citizens, but as a organization of contemporaries in joint back, and in fasten together politeness and resoluteness, not clearly to the family, but also to wider fraternity.
Having the status of we remove the distorting cover of culture from religion, we see our not like religions as they really are, overlapping circles of belief with noticeably in common. Plunder culture out of the equation will also help us see areas of religious common in a fuller slant and proceed strategies to be bought association, based on rock-solid understanding and adulation.
In imprisonment with Counselor Arjan 's teaching of offerings and stem for others, Sikhs drop a line to the festivity of his martyrdom in an funny way. Give is no abrasion of rancor, To be more precise Sikhs set up stalls slight their gurdwaras and homes to present cool thankful drinks to passers-by. In this way we carry on the thirst and disturbance of Counselor Arjan by looking to the requirements of others, doesn't matter what their zoom, colour or code of belief.
Still the Sikh Gurus supported the formation of marriage, and themselves lived marital lives, they never criticised frequent that chose reworking lifestyles. Sikhs do not see such dealings as a sin. They are certainly a material of secret abandon, which necessity be respected.
Counselor Arjan Dev, the fastener compiler of the Sikh holy Granth, included in it not clearly experience of the Sikh Gurus, but also verses of Hindu and Muslim saints to abrasion that no one religion has a throttlehold of truth. Past, the Counselor showed his adulation for Islam, by asking a Muslim saint Mia Mir, to lay the eye shadow stone of the identified Blonde Top, which has doors on four sides to emphasise a be given to folks from not like spiritual and geographic information.

James 3 (Jas 3, 1-2) We all fall short in many respects Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you realize that we will be judged more strictly, for we all fall short in many respects. If anyone does not fall short in speech, he is a perfect man, able to bridle his whole body also.(CCC 41) All creatures bear a certain resemblance to God, most especially man, created in the image and likeness of God. The manifold perfections of creatures - their truth, their goodness, their beauty all reflect the infinite perfection of God. Consequently we can name God by taking his creatures' perfections as our starting point, "for from the greatness and beauty of created things comes a corresponding perception of their Creator" (Wis 13:5). (CCC 2028) "All Christians... are called to the fullness of Christian life and to the perfection of charity" (LG 40 SS 2). "Christian perfection has but one limit, that of having none" (St. Gregory of Nyssa, De vita Mos.: PG 44, 300D). (CCC 1827) The practice of all the virtues is animated and inspired by charity, which "binds everything together in perfect harmony" (Col 3:14); it is the form of the virtues; it articulates and orders them among themselves; it is the source and the goal of their Christian practice. Charity upholds and purifies our human ability to love, and raises it to the supernatural perfection of divine love. (CCC 2013) "All Christians in any state or walk of life are called to the fullness of Christian life and to the perfection of charity" (LG 40 SS 2). All are called to holiness: "Be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect" (Mt 5:48). In order to reach this perfection the faithful should use the strength dealt out to them by Christ's gift, so that... doing the will of the Father in everything, they may wholeheartedly devote themselves to the glory of God and to the service of their neighbor. Thus the holiness of the People of God will grow in fruitful abundance, as is clearly shown in the history of the Church through the lives of so many saints (LG 40 SS 2). (CCC 2015) The way of perfection passes by way of the Cross. There is no holiness without renunciation and spiritual battle (Cf. 2 Tim 4). Spiritual progress entails the ascesis and mortification that gradually lead to living in the peace and joy of the Beatitudes: He who climbs never stops going from beginning to beginning, through beginnings that have no end. He never stops desiring what he already knows (St. Gregory of Nyssa, Hom. in Cant. 8: PG 44, 941C).
It's undeniable that there was an explosion of mass interest in occultism during the 60s and 70s. But why it occurred still is up for debate. An anonymous commont left on an earlier post offered another explanation - one I didn't know about:U.S. interest in the occult bubbled to life in the hands of rocket scientist/occultist Jack Parsons in the late 1940's and early 1950's.While Parsons was single handedly discovering the powers of jet propulsion and creating the concept of space travel, Parsons was a full blown Pasadena sex sorcerer, teaming up with the notorious L.Ron Hubbard in his reckless magickal activities. This was a heavy sci-fi beat era enterprise, creating a fascinating cross section of U.S. military heavy hitters and not-kidding-around occult artists (such as 'scarlet woman' Marjorie Cameron).The results of their bizarre interests bubbled back to life in the hedonistic, sinister late 60's, with the heavy bad chi producing antics of Anton LaVey, Sammy Davis, Jr, Michael Aquino, Jay Sebring and others. Definitely a creepy, fascinating time period - the jet black Jungian shadow of the pastel colored sixties dream....An epic comment. I didn't know any of this stuff! I did a tiny bit of reading on this guy, and he sounds like quite a character - he developed rocket fuel, has a moon crater named after him, and was an avid Crowley disciple. Who is this "scarlet woman" mentioned in the comment? I'd like to know more about these mysterious individuals supposedly responsible for the occult craze of the seventies. Anyone have some info?

This is a great day for an Inklings fan - two blogs bring me to two good essays I haven't read for a long time.
Lydia McGrew sends me searching online for a great C.S. Lewis essay from 1959: "Modern Theology and Biblical Criticism," in which he questions the judgment of Bultmann, among others:
.... First then, whatever these men may be as Biblical critics, I distrust them as critics. They seem to me to lack literary judgment, to be imperceptive about the very quality of the texts they are reading. [....]
[Bultmann] "The personality of Jesus has no importance for the "kerygma" either of Paul or of John... Indeed the tradition of the earliest Church did not even unconsciously preserve a picture of his personality. Every attempt to reconstruct one remains a play of subjective imagination."
So there is no personality of Our Lord presented in the New Testament. Through what strange process has this learned German gone in order to make himself blind to what all men except him see? What evidence have we that he would recognize a personality if it were there? For it is Bultmann "contra mundum". If anything whatever is common to all believers, and even to many unbelievers, it is the sense that in the Gospels they have met a personality..... [more]And then, at Justin Taylor's blog, there is a link to an essay by a friend of Lewis, Dorothy L. Sayers, "Why Work?".
[....] The Church's approach to an intelligent carpenter is usually confined to exhorting him not to be drunk and disorderly in his leisure hours, and to come to church on Sundays. What the Church "should" be telling him is this: that the very first demand that his religion makes upon him is that he should make good tables.
Church by all means, and decent forms of amusement, certainly - but what use is all that if in the very center of his life and occupation he is insulting God with bad carpentry? No crooked table legs or ill-fitting drawers ever, I dare swear, came out of the carpenter's shop at Nazareth. Nor, if they did, could anyone believe that they were made by the same hand that made Heaven and earth. No piety in the worker will compensate for work that is not true to itself; for any work that is untrue to its own technique is a living lie.
Yet in Her own buildings, in Her own ecclesiastical art and music, in Her hymns and prayers, in Her sermons and in Her little books of devotion, the Church will tolerate or permit a pious intention to excuse so ugly, so pretentious, so tawdry and twaddling, so insincere and insipid, so "bad" as to shock and horrify any decent draftsman.
And why? Simply because She has lost all sense of the fact that the living and eternal truth is expressed in work only so far as that work is true in itself, to itself, to the standards of its own technique. She has forgotten that the secular vocation is sacred. Forgotten that a building must be good architecture before it can be a good church; that a painting must be well painted before it can be a good sacred picture; that work must be good work before it can call itself God's work.
Let the Church remember this: that every maker and worker is called to serve God "in" his profession or trade - not outside it..... [more]Lewis on Biblical Criticism: Modern Theology and Biblical Criticism, songlight for dawn: 'Why Work?' by Dorothy L. Sayers

WHICH ONES Will YOU BE Accumulation TO YOUR TBR PILE?
IMAGINE VENUS FOR A MOMENT. PICTURE HER AS GODDESS, ARCHETYPE, PLANET, OR MYTH. SEE HER PEACH GOLD HUE, HER ROSE KISSED SKIN. Venus is sweet dusk haze, and pure morning light. Her voice speaks grace, and her words breath charm. Beauty, both inner and outer is her realm, and her magic: pure honey dust, sprinkled freely on lovers, artists and peacemakers alike. She dispenses her precarious sparkle of romance and pleasure with loving care and exquisite danger, uncaring of consequences, and blind to remorse. Yet Venus also thrives amongst peace and harmony, revels in the hush of the sated senses, and awakens wherever creativity lives.
IN THE ASTROLOGICAL BIRTH CHART, VENUS REPRESENTS HOW WE LOVE, WHAT WE LOVE, AND OFTEN WHOM WE LOVE. She shows our style of receiving and giving pleasure, and she signifies what we find the deepest appreciation in or what we recognize as both beautiful and worthy of love. For this reason she also describes what we value, and at the most mundane level, what we purchase or own.
Her rulership of Taurus and Libra exemplifies her ability to express her essence in both the external, mundane and earthy world (Taurus) and her corresponding qualities in the internal, and more abstract domain (Libra).
IN TAURUS, SHE EXPRESSES HER BOUNTY IN THE PLEASURES OF THE FLESH AND THE JUICINESS OF THE FIVE SENSES. She is queen of pleasure, indulgence and comfort, wanting nothing more than to revel in the beauty of the earth.
IN LIBRA, SHE RULES AS THE CONSUMMATE HOSTESS, EXUDING CHARM AND GRACE. Her realm is balance and equality, and here she creates justice, excelling in blending opposing forces into a harmonious web.
In the natal chart, the astrological sign Venus is in tells about how we love, our style of attraction and what brings us pleasure. Venus in air signs wants words and ideas shared and expressed to feel loved and appreciated. Venus in fire signs thrives on bravery, passion and action, Venus in water signs opens up to emotional and spiritual connection, and Venus in earth signs needs physical manifestations of affection to feel loved.
CURRENTLY VENUS IS POISED TO GO RETROGRADE (WHICH MEANS THE PLANET LOOKS LIKE IT'S MOVING BACKWARDS IN THE HEAVENS), ON MARCH 6, 2009 (TURNING DIRECT ON APRIL 17, 2009 WITH THE "SHADOW" PERIOD CONTINUING UNTIL MAY 21), IN THE SIGN OF ARIES AND MOVING BACKWARDS INTO PISCES.
Venus retrograde allows the Venus principle a chance to rest, rejuvenate and revision the quality of her varying forms of expression. On a personal level, during the Venus retrograde, we have a chance to explore and deepen our relationship to Venusian themes and qualities. Retrograde periods slow down and often internalize the qualities of a planet that is (seemingly) going backwards.
A RETROGRADE TIME CAN ALSO BE EXPERIENCED AS A STOPPAGE OR CONSTRICTION OF ENERGY OR EXPERIENCE ASSOCIATED WITH THE PLANET. For this reason, traditional astrologers consider Venus retrograde periods to be a challenging time for romantic relationships in particular, but also relationships in general. Finances, socializing and culture are also said to suffer at this time. During the month and a half or so of the Venus retrograde it is usually recommended that people postpone starting new relationships, hold off on buying luxury items, or clothes in particular, cut back on socializing and refrain from overspending. It is also strongly recommended that weddings are not held during this time.
While all these tips may indeed prove to be useful, and it can be interesting to experiment with consciously ignoring the Venus retrograde advice and seeing how that new relationship (or car, dress, etc.), holds up when the period passes, there is also another way to approach this time frame that can provide more lasting and rewarding benefits.
VIEWED FROM THE EVOLUTIONARY ASTROLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE, THE SLOW AND INTERNAL PACE OF THE RETROGRADE CAN BE SEEN AS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR GROWTH RATHER THAN AN UNAVOIDABLE AND FATED NEGATIVE EXPERIENCE. By matching our own energy to the flow of the planet, we can work with rather than against planetary movement, benefiting from this seemingly backward motion rather than fearing it. Venus retrograde then becomes a time of retreat and reflection, when we allow the Venus principle in our chart the space and freedom to rejuvenate and rejuice.
MOST RETREATS INVOLVE PERIODS OF CONTEMPLATION, REFLECTION AND REST. A retreat is a time to renew and review our relationships with ourselves and reconnect with our source energy. Retreating can also be associated with stepping back and away from highly charged or stressful encounters, creating space and room to rethink our approach. Sometimes a retreat can even be seen as a defeat, when we feel that we need to step away from an unrewarding or difficult situation that may be draining and discouraging.
IF WE CHOOSE TO WORK WITH THE ENERGY OF NATURE, AND PARTICULARLY THE STARS, PLANETS AND SKY, WE CAN MAXIMIZE OUR EXPERIENCE OF THIS VENUS RETROGRADE AND RETREAT GRACEFULLY RATHER THAN BE FORCED INTO RETREAT BY EXTERNAL EVENTS.
As we embark on our own personal Venus retreat, it may be helpful to frame our experience with some key questions: WHICH OF OUR RELATIONSHIPS OR RELATIONSHIP PATTERNS NEED TO BE REVISED AND TRANSFORMED NOW? HOW DO WE APPROACH COMFORT, ART AND BEAUTY IN OUR LIVES? WHAT IS OUR OWN PARTICULAR EXPRESSION OF VENUS AND WHAT NEEDS TO BE ADJUSTED OR SHIFTED HERE?
IT'S POSSIBLE THAT WE ALREADY EXPRESS VENUS IN OUR LIVES BY CREATING BEAUTIFUL BOUQUETS FROM OUR GARDENS, OR WE ARRANGE AND ORDER OUR POSSESSIONS IN PLEASING WAYS. Perhaps we make art, hostess dinner parties, or model fierce and passionate love in our relationships. Maybe we excel in peacemaking, charming difficult people or decorating, adorning and enjoying our bodies. Or we revel in relaxing and soaking in the deep pleasure of our five senses, making time to rejoice in the sacred and sensual mysteries of our physical body. IT'S POSSIBLE THAT WE CELEBRATE AND HONOR VENUS IN OUR LIVES IN SOME OR ALL OF THESE WAYS ON A REGULAR BASIS, OR, IT'S POSSIBLE THAT WE DON'T.
If we have anything to do with the rhythms of our culture, living, working and surviving in mainstream society, the chances are good that we often neglect the rich and juicy flows that course through the veins of the Venusian mysteries. RESIDING AS WE DO IN AN ENVIRONMENT THAT WORSHIPS THE TRIPLE GODS OF TECHNOLOGY, CONSUMPTION, AND SPEED, IT MAY BE HARD TO NURTURE AND MAINTAIN THE HEART AND SOUL OF VENUS'S CORE. Venus tends to behave badly around this triple deity, showing only her most crass and shallow guise, developing in a warped mutation that prevents the full expression of her most pure essence. Hence the proliferation of the Paris Hilton's and Britney Spears who carry our Venus reflection, mirroring back a face that can be quite ugly behind the mask.
THE VENUS RETROGRADE GIVES US ALL AN OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT THESE ISSUES IN OUR PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS AND AT A COLLECTIVE LEVEL. As we examine more closely how we approach Venus in our lives, we can reassess what we want our relationship with Venus to look like in the future. We may decide during the Venus Retrograde to dedicate ourselves more fully to awakening this archetype in her pure form, seeding our individual efforts into a collective wellspring of juicy Venus goodness.
SOME PRACTICAL WAYS TO HONOR VENUS DURING THE RETROGRADE PERIOD:
*Create an altar to honor Venus, putting items here that represent Venus in your sign and Venus in your life.
*Make peace with an old lover, offering apology or any resolutions that may be needed
*Find one way to integrate your spirituality and your sexuality
*Adorn yourself in a loving way with something beautiful, noticing what it feels like to dress or look this way.
*Rearrange your home in a way that is pleasing to you.
*Brainstorm all of your favorite ways to socialize and plan a party or event for when Venus goes direct.
*Write a personal history of Venus in your life, reflecting back on your past and your own unique expression of Venus qualities.
*Review your relationship with your partner, using this time to make any needed changes if necessary.
