I finished reading “Is God to Blame” by Gregory A. Boyd. And I really enjoyed it. It was like he somehow took all the things that I thought were wrong with Christianity, and showed me why. I was impressed enough that I am starting another book by him “Letters from a Sceptic”.

I am really intrigued by his concept of open theism.

For the first time Post-UPC, I feel like maybe something can be salvaged from Christianity after all.

The Knowledge of Good & Evil. What does that mean? What the implications of the fruit?

Whatever they are, it is a curse that we have never gotten past. Humankind is still obssessed with judging the morality of each others behavior. We look at another’s actions, we hear their words and we think “They are a bad person”, or they are a “sinner”.

But only God knows our heart. He looks past our actions to our true motivations, and he hears the emotions that lie under the surface of the words we speak. So why do we continually try to sit in judgement on others, when we are so uninformed??
