A little more... (Sunday Forum)

Thanks, vynette, I'd like more of this. The more truth is revealed by exacting research the more I can allow the truth to reveal my life and, of course, how it fits in with the life I share with God.

I am sick of seeing sighs outside churches claiming the truth when they claim truth resides in the literal reading of Scriptures. I know I have the truth within me and I want to have it revealed to me but self elected scholars of Scripture who claim literalism is the only way to truth leaves me struggling to stop myself sinking into the mud of confusion. The more we can learn of 'logos' the more we can discover who we are. I know who I am but I can't tell you. I'd appreciate genuine scholars like you and Ian telling me how to tell it.

I am glad I never became an old-fashioned bible school teacher that taught literalism. I started reading Scripture at 12 years of age and my knowledge of oneness with all that is taught me how to read it. But don't ask me to expound it. I am not a scholar. Get it?

Francis who appreciates the hard earned wisdom of scholars who do find explanations that my lack of scholarship somehow believed in.

My purpose is to remember the love that created me in God one with my brothers and sisters and with all life. My function is to extend that love and unity each moment to all.
