It took me several years to come to the conclusion that there needs to be a further (but not liberalising nor modernising) 'evolution' of Christianity - but I think it is true, nonetheless. It was mainly Owen Barfield who persuaded me of this; plus that I could not whole-heartedly imagine living in a society dominated by any actually existing previous church. <br />Bruce Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09615189090601688535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154359965221795553.post-42999941024019103142016-11-02T06:11:07.770-07:002016-11-02T06:11:07.770-07:00Thank you for such a hopeful and clear-thinking po...Thank you for such a hopeful and clear-thinking post.<br /><br />There are so many things I agree with in it, I wonder if I'm just being negative to point out where I disagree, but I'm not sure I would be contributing something by just saying "me too," so here goes:<br /><br />The idea that Christianity in the past was deficient and that was why secularism arose seems like an inadequate explanation. Christianity has had moments of laxity and moments of vigor. Opposition to Christianity has had success against both. Re-adopting Christianity would unlikely be just a rewind because we could hardly unsee all that we've seen during the long reign of secularism. However, there will never be a time in this world when there won't be successful opposition to Christianity because free will is essential to our choice to know, love, and serve God (and free will means the ability to reject God). We shouldn't be so worried about a return to Christianity, and I think (given the constancy Christ promised with the gates of hell not prevailing, him being with us always etc.) there are some real reasons to be concerned about any call for a new Christianity rather than a restored one.Duggushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17951247066239742144noreply@blogger.com
