Filtered Truth

Listen Later

All of our truths are filtered truths. Some are grounded in more concrete, scientific [for now!] laws, and others are a result of culture, beliefs, values, norms, and religion. How hard do you hold on to your truths? It's a very delicate shift from white knuckles to bloody ones.

Some roguish conversation questions:

  1. Is filtered truth a good thing or a limiting thing?
  • What are we afraid of that is keeping us from evolving spiritually? Or is evolving spiritually taking away from absolute truth?
  • Does God have many voices or just one on earth?
  • Are the filters we all have necessary to our connection to God or are they inhibiting a greater experience of God?
  • What part of our spiritual path does intuition play?

    • PASSION 2024

    • It felt like an Amway event. 50,000+ young adults! Get out there and evangelize! Everyone ends up with a bullseye on their back.
  • Christian exclusivity is a filtered truth.
  • Introduction
  • Passion 2024
  • They are the future of the church! What is that going to look like?
  • There are alternative ways to interpret the “Only way” passages of scripture.
  • What is the “Good News” of an evolved Christianity?
  • The future “Christian” may be defined as one “On the way of The Way of Jesus of Nazareth.”
  • Truth. It’s not about denying it because it makes us feel uncomfortable.

    • Is There Universal Truth? Unthinkable!

    • How has religion screwed up the planet and the human race? Is it intentional manipulation of the masses or just misguided adherence to mythology?
  • What does your heart tell you vs your mind?
  • Innies and outies/dualistic thinking
  • If it’s irrefutable, it’s domineering.
  • Eastern theosis. Let our divinity evolve.
  • Saved from what? God? What kind of God is that?
  • Knucklehead Truth vs Discerned Truth
  • Does religion evolve?

    • Here's the link to the Passion conference. The talk referenced in the episode was in Session Two by Jonathan Pokluda. He starts at about the 55-minute mark.
