CHRISTIANITY WITH AN EDGE-WITH SCOTT E. ROKELY

Those possessed by the Spirit of Religion insist John 14:6 is Jesus the Christ's edict that most of the people on the planet are going straight to hell. It is no such thing.

What did Jesus mean by this verse?

What difference does it make? Let me put it this way - Jesus tended to be monistic, and religious people tend to be dualistic.

It seems our minds were made for counting. And we especially seem to enjoy counting other people's sins and offenses against us. It is amazing how much joy and peace floods into our lives when we stop counting.

You aren't stupid. You just don't know all of the facts that God does. That's why we all need to check in with the Holy Spirit before we make decisions, instead of blundering ahead and making a decision with the few facts that we know.

Turn by turn directions through life are available from God's GPS System. Problem is, it hardly ever gets used.

Adversity hits. You pray for help. But no help seems to come. It's at this moment that you must simply believe that God loves you. If you stop believing God loves you in these trying times, you open the door to all manner of mayhem in your spiritual life.

We've all heard about near death experiences. This one happened to an atheist. Listen how it affected him.

Until you accept your entire self, good points and bad points, you will never accept other people, and you will see God as angry, violent, and full of vengeance.

A spirituality of trying to be perfect, and demanding perfection of everyone else will drive you crazy. Instead, face reality and realize that all any of us can do is embrace a spirituality of imperfection.
