Spiritual, Reasoning Christian with Faith

intellectually and I refuse to be blind psychologically, spiritually or intellectually.  If I am called to follow a faith that I myself can’t answer for spontaneously, than the faith is not worth following or believing in my life. God is not blind and he is not expecting blind followers!

To be a spiritual, reasoning Christian with faith in this high-tech century demands that we cast away our false hypocrisy of so-called “Christian conservatism” in not wanting to reason-out our faith and practices. We should be bold to face criticisms and be willing to change for a better spiritual state through reasoning. We should abandon the medieval psychology of keeping the Christian public in intellectual ignorance (chaining knowledge in the Church) like when the Bible was chained to walls of the Church.  We should discard the protectionist practices of calling for blind obedience to non-transparent Church governance that is meant for selfish control of a minority who live in luxury at the expense of the majority.

Here is a tip I give to you as a Christian. If another Christian or Christian leader tells you that it is either God’s will or God spoke to him or her that you must do this or that – reason first. Ask Why? If God can speak to another to tell you what to do, the same God can definitely speak to us individually and directly without the need for a mediator. The age of mediating or the need for a human mediator is long gone with the arrival of Christ (I Timothy 2:5). Don’t mix-up Church administration with God’s will and What God has to say! Reason, reason and reason is what we as spiritual Christians with faith need more than ever.
