Post modern people don't come to church because they don't want to be indoctrinated with negative ideation, especially about sex.
They are beyond being told what to think about God.
They want to get rid of the middle man and experience the divine for themselves.
This is what was so attractive about yoga.
It offered a way of experiencing the divine directly.
Unfortunately this individual path was sabotaged by Satanists in the rock music industry and as a result each individual was picked off and nothing seemed to work.
This is why being part of a community of like minded people is so important.
At the moment most Churches are still preaching the old paradigm: Fall/Redemption theology, Christology, and a judgmental God.
Nothing will change if we just dress up the old theology in new clothes.
We need a positive theology:
Original Blessing.
A healthy attitude to the body and sex.
No punishment, judgment, or hell.
Acceptance of homosexuals.
Equality of women.
A path to personal experience of God (through prayer, contemplation, study, and action)
Through these practices it is my hope that post modern people might experience the Love and forgiveness of God for themselves.
I like your new clothing list. This is my kind of thinking!
ReplyDeleteNot just new clothing but a new theology!
