The failure to engage, to communicate is entirely mine Liam. Well done for ducking my sabre slash!
But we’re talking. Thanks to you. And BioLogos.
More than happy to be public, as it gets the subject out there in the forum, the agora of ideas. It’s entertainment after all.
I have no kindred spirits Liam : ) not even on Ship of Fools. Which is the best there is. There are many liberal evangelicals, but. None can do eternity. In the entire Anglosphere. I had to drive 30 miles to meet privately with a cloistered priest who got me, met me where I live, over a year ago. And if I found such internet peers, what’s the point? I want to engage in the marketplace with all the other boys and girls. And marketplaces attract nutters. Look at me. Now I’m mad BUT! BioLogos tolerates much crazier than me. And crazy tho’ I be, my fideism is not. It is perfectly orthodox. And until I started saying it here, no one did. Which is remarkable considering the standard of education. But not when one considers that this is an evangelical site. Such faith is social and complies with the group think.
Did I catch an edit? A question that’s gone? On fideism? Presumably you answered it yourself.
Faith has to humble itself naked before the fully, really arrayed emperor of reason. No matter how badly I introduce him, no matter how gracelessly, how bluntly, he sits comfortably, elegantly, unchallengably enthroned. He is not to be trifled with. Whinging, sneering, doubting, yeah-butting will be met with that gaze.
I’ll have to switch metaphors won’t I?
Because she is Sophia, the eternal empress of reason. And she’s no Maja.
