Moderators Gregory Matthews Posted July 14, 2018 Moderators Posted July 14, 2018 Holy Troublemakers is a book in publication that will unsettle many here. It sets out to tell the stories of some 50 people, such a Regina Jonas, the first female Rabbi, in 1935 Germany, who died in a consecration camp. But, I suspect that there will be a negative feeling about many of the people in the book. Some, will probably be better served by not reading the follwoing: https://spectrummagazine.org/article/2018/07/10/creating-better-faith-based-childrens-stories There is a 2nd part to this article that addresses the spiritual journey taken by the woman writing the book and her husband. Carefully consider whether or not you want to read this. GayatfootofCross, JoeMo and phkrause 2 1 Quote Gregory

GayatfootofCross Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 I had to be reminded these are for the children. These are the beautiful stories that children can see themselves in if they ever feel on the outs. Cause no one is out. Jesus went thru great pains to constantly and consistently to show that to the people who thought they were in and thought they were first. People cant grow and be healed if the religious institution/culture/theology embraces anything else. I dont know when Jesus is coming but the generation living in the end will catch a glimpse of what Love did and does and will do. And share a Bigger God than the institution has previously been espousing.

GayatfootofCross Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 (edited past the ten minute mark) (It is so hard for me to communicate here) .................................. I had to be reminded these are for the children. These are the beautiful stories that children can see themselves in if they ever feel on the outs. Cause no one is out. Jesus went thru great pains to constantly and consistently to show that to the people who thought they were in and thought they were first. ( and nobody else ) People cant grow and be healed if the religious institution/culture/theology embraces any kind of exclusivity. Something about feeling left out nurtures incorrect pic of God's character. And conversely ..Something about thinking your God is keeping others out harms your heart toward Him. A reason not to trust Him with our own authentic selves. I dont know when Jesus is coming but the generation living in the end will catch a glimpse of what Love did and does and will do. And share a Bigger God than the institution has previously been espousing.

Members rudywoofs (Pam) Posted July 16, 2018 Members Posted July 16, 2018 "Holy Troublemakers" is a good title.... except that it harkens back to an old television program that I detested (but my brother loved) — Batman.... I can just hear Batman's sidekick, Robin, in my mind, exclaiming, "Holy Troublemakers, Batman!" phkrause and JoeMo 1 1 Quote Pam Meddle Not In the Affairs of Dragons; for You Are Crunchy and Taste Good with Ketchup. If we all sang the same note in the choir, there'd never be any harmony. Funny, isn't it, how we accept Grace for ourselves and demand justice for others?
