Season 2:9 Two General Western Views (James Alison)

from jonathan_foster · host jonathan_foster

Talking with Dr. James Alison helps me consider the two dominant Christian views in the West: -We're separate from God and gotta get back. -And we're already at one with God with no need to return. I lean toward the latter, but only after I get to talk a little about what it might mean to be "at one with God." I love this whole subject, and the thoughts I share here have helped me tremendously in dealing with loss and life, but I will say that trafficking in these kinds of ideas has cost me some friendships. So, I guess, listen and apply gently and judiciously. God bless. jonathan_foster substackjonathan_foster instagramlovehaiti.orgthecurian.network  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
