Christian vs Christ follower

Thanks to imago dei for blogging this, its good to see something 'Christian' that isn't a total Turkey! Unlike the film that Tom talks about in his latest post... I had a bit of a rant in the comments for that one, but you don't need to read that!

I'm liking this a lot.

I think that what it is really saying, deep down and subliminally, is that only Mac users can be saved

.... only kidding!?!?!?

.... or am I?

Thanks for sharing Alastair, I thought this was Good. Mind if I borrow for my Blog?

Does this mean that Mac users are better Christians?

OK bad joke

Have a wonderful day

Thanks Amanda, and I hope you don't mind me stealing this from you, or rather stealing the idea from you and taking it from youtube. My next posting (in about two minutes) will be about my url & username...

This is not a statement about salvation through Mac.

We originally sinned through an apple, so why can't we be saved though an Apple?

Actually, I think your rant in the comment section of my post is worth reading.

On a different note, based soley on the fact that I use a PC, salvation cannot come from a Mac. That would mean I'm wrong, and I simply can't have that.

If you can't tell I'm a Christian by the way I act, no sign on my car -- or coat -- is going to change that. I am a Christ follower (although the Bible I carry to church on Sunday is in one of those nisfty little black carry cases).

I haven't forgotten that there are at least two articles I want to come back and read when I've got thriving brain cell function and a quiet house in which to ponder your words. Rarely do those two things collide. And if they do, I'm supposed to be doing my weekly Bible class work. Anyway, wanted you to know I really meant it waaaaay back when I said I wanted to come back and read some things you had written.

Another sermon - as seems to be the way of this blog at present! Life is busy and complicated, and good, and bad, and exciting, and challenging, and (in short) not conducive to getting Blog posts written! So, here's my thought for today taken from these passages (Click for details): Exodus 16:1–5, 9–15,  Psalm 78;18–29 Mt 13.1–9 Grace and Meaning In the words of St Paul, or perhaps St John, or maybe St George, or even St Ringo “When I was younger, so much younger than today.” Ah, sorry, couldn’t resist!  No, it’s not a tubby boy story – but just a general reflection that today’s story from the book of Exodus used to cause me great consternation.  Or at least was one of those parts of Scripture that didn’t seem to fit… I knew the story, the mythological story I am now convinced, of the temptations in the wilderness when Jesus proclaims, quoting Deuteronomy 6 ‘you shall not put the Lord your God to the test’. As I moved into the Anglican Church and got to kno

A Sermon which upset someone

So, I'm not a theological conservative.  That probably comes across in pretty much everything I write, but I thought I should say it.  I believe myself to be orthodox, however, and hold to those things which the Church expresses in the catholic creeds.  I also have a relatively 'high' theology regarding the inspiration of Scripture. But I am not a Biblical literalist, nor do I hold to a doctrine of the infallibility of Scripture. I can't.  The Bible is too rich, too deep, too difficult, too flawed for that.  And by flawed I mean I understand it to be the record of human beings trying to make sense of God at work.  It has the breath of the Spirit blowing through it's words and on every page, but when we try and make sense of God there is a chance we will go awry.... 'Hey lets condemn (and or murder) pretty much everyone who isn't in our tribe, that's obviously what God wants' kind of awry.  And if we study this book carefully then we see that ideas
