15.3.19

– My view of Christianity/salvation is orthodox, but I myself am unorthodox.

Unorthodox Christian(ity) is closer to non-Christian(ity) than Christianity.

I believe Christianity is more conservative than liberal. But my faith is more liberal than conservative.

I believe that only a disciple (submit to the authority of, and follow, Jesus Christ, as presented by the Bible & Church) can call him/herself a Christian. But I am not a disciple. although I believe I am still a heretic/radical Christian.

I believe Christianity says that only those who are converted can have assurance of salvation. But, according to me, one doesn’t have to be a Christian in order to be saved. In fact, I am a universalist!

Distinguish:

My view of Christianity

&

My view of life

&

Christianity’s view of life

All 3 are intertwined!

Solan believes that justification is only for converts (?), & sanctification is by faith (passive reception/dependence) alone, just like justification. He also subscribes to the justification-sanctification-glorification view.

I believe that everyone is already justified (& therefore, will be glorified) in Christ, sanctification also involves active commitment/discipline (unlike justification). And sanctification has nothing to do with salvation (eternal life – forgiveness of sins, reconciliation with God, ultimate Christlikeness, etc.) – it is living (present) in the light of (past) justification-glorification (future).

– One could be theologically liberal and morally conservative, or vice-versa

Or, one could be liberal or conservative in both…

– The reformer is more conservative than the progressive, because the former is trying to reclaim the original faith-practice which has been compromised in his/her context, and the latter is trying to innovate the future by using what has been given in the past as raw material.

I am (for more of) the latter.

– Long-distance relationships – a combination of the advantages of being single and being married?

How can the advantages of being single be incorporated into married life?

And how can the advantages of being married be included in the single life?

– Since men are more objective/erotic and women are more relational/romantic when it comes to sexuality, this is one of the root causes of misunderstanding and violence.

And one of the most important ways to resolve this difference/conflict is for men to develop their feminine side, and vice versa.

Was Kohli right in calling this game an eye-opener (for him as captain & his side) or should we just give credit to Australia (especially Turner)?

Captaincy? Fielding (especially wicket-keeping)? Temperament?

Did India believe they had all but won the match, at half-time??

Should India have had 5 specialist bowlers?

Do we have a genuine all-rounder in the side?

And maintain an attitude of generous acceptance toward all people, irrespective of their background or caliber.

These two qualities together make you complete.

This is what it means to be “like GOD” (or Christian)!
