Susan Furry commented on Doug Bennett's blog post 'Homosexuality Among Friends [Request for responses below]'Susan Furry commented on Doug Bennett's blog post 'Homosexuality Among Friends [Request for responses below]'"I can report that New England Yearly Meeting has been discussing the subject for years, both our own internal issues and attitudes, and our response to FUM's Personnel Policy. Most of our monthly meetings have minuted their intention to…"
Susan Furry commented on Doug Bennett's blog post 'Five Snippets'"I agree with Bruce Arnold. You're preaching to the choir. I don't know any logical arguments that will convince an atheist to believe in God. Either you have the faith experience or you don't. Similarly,…"
Susan Furry replied to Barbara Smith's discussion 'Why Light of Christ and not just the Light?' in the group Christianity"Dear Barbara,
Thanks for considering my comments with thoughtfulness and generosity. For personal reasons I have kind of an allergy to Rudolf Steiner, but I love that comparison to gravity.
Unfortunately, there indeed are Christians who will…"
Susan Furry replied to Barbara Smith's discussion 'Why Light of Christ and not just the Light?' in the group Christianity"Thanks Barbara and all the Friends who have responded. These are powerful testimonies.
A Friend recently asked me why I need to speak of Jesus, why terms like Light or Spirit aren't enough. My response was, because the Ineffable One…"
Joe Turner replied to Susan Furry's discussion 'What is salvation?' in the group Christianity"I think for me the starting point is the brokenness of all things. And I think God desires whole-ness and healing, and that wholeness for us would mean us meeting our full potential as human beings. Salvation then is the business of…"
Sarah Rosemary Ann Zimmermann replied to Susan Furry's discussion 'What is salvation?' in the group Christianity"Several things.
There's the usual theological sense, sure.
But practically, I truly believe in my redemption when I experience God's unconditional love through another human- when a friend or Friend is there for me in such a way that…"
James C Schultz replied to Susan Furry's discussion 'What is salvation?' in the group Christianity"I believe that by His death and resurrection, Jesus restored my and everyone else's relationship with God. How our individual relationships develop depends on each one of us."
Stephanie Stuckwisch replied to Susan Furry's discussion 'What is salvation?' in the group Christianity"I just finished the book "Saving Paradise". The writers point out that the earliest Christian art did not include images of crucifixion. The mosaics showed images of resurrection, healing, the garden of Eden.
That is salvation for me -…"
Richard Scott Wigton replied to Susan Furry's discussion 'What is salvation?' in the group Christianity" I grew up Presbyterian and was taught that God selects only certain people to be saved & the rest he damns to Hell. (Yes, that wonderful Calvinist theory.) I could not accept such a callous, cruel God so I left the…"
Stephen Mitsuo replied to Susan Furry's discussion 'What is salvation?' in the group Christianity"I'm glad you started this discussion--I've wondered that often myself! (and Marty, I really appreciated your response). To me, salvation means "healing." I feel that Christ is my savior because he is…"
Pat Pope replied to Susan Furry's discussion 'What is salvation?' in the group Christianity"Good question. For me it is the promise and assurance of eternal life spent with God based on my acceptance of His Son and his sacrificial death for me.
I find that where problems generally arise is with various definitions…"
Marty Calliham replied to Susan Furry's discussion 'What is salvation?' in the group Christianity"Salvation in the Hebrew scriptures refers to deliverance. Deliverance from what? Poverty, greed, oppression -- of all kinds. Before the Greeks and Romans conquered Palestine, people in the middle east did not divide their…"
Susan Furry added a discussion to the group Christianity
What is salvation?
Christians use this word and its cousins like "Savior" "being saved" etc. with great frequency, but I don't think we all mean the same thing by it, nor have we all examined its underlying assumptions. I would like to hear from a wide variety of Friends, Christian-identified or not, about what this word means to them. Thanks!
