More on Evil.

Posted on Cowtippers 06-17-08

Hi.

It’s interesting that on a group that is supposed to be exploring truth there are many engaging in a whole host of wishful thinking about the evil that exists in the universe–or at least on this planet.

The evil one.

The subject on Cowtippers today was satan.  And by the way, I don’t care if my spell-check don’t like it, I refused to capitalize the “s.”

Here’s part of the conversation.  If you want the rest you’ll have to follow the link and visit Cowtippers.  If you REALLY want to read what I was responding to and don’t want to go there send me an email and I’ll send you a copy.  OK?

There are two posts here.  Scroll down for “PART TWO.”

So, here it is:

Legalism, church history, evil, revivals, speaking out

Greetings!

I am a sometimes ornery member of the SacredCowTippers group on Yahoo.  I often write witty, profound, exciting and exemplary posts as I expound on certain religious subjects.  I say that humbly, of course. HA!

From today forward I shall preserve some of these posts for the teensy few who are lucky enough to find their way here.  This is the first installment.

Hi Dena!

This is a lot of cows to kick around.  As usual, from out in the hinterland where I dwell I see things differently.  I’ll make general comments and then a couple of points… if I may?    I have deleted much of your post to shorten up the file.

First, the question of “legalism” and all that junk–and it is junk– never comes up except in JUDEO-Christian circles where certain things are a given:

Sin Nature

Saturday Morning reflections…

A discussion on the SacredCowTippers Yahoo group led to my posting the following about our “sin nature.”  I thought I’d stick it here for the fun of it.

The post:

Good Morning.

Last evening Julie G. asked for my thoughts on original sin.  I was too zonked to answer.  I’m not sure I’m all here this morning but I’ll give it a shot.

I’m no theologian.  I didn’t sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night, either. lol  Ahh, but that hasn’t stopped the old Trailerpark Scholar (me) from talking like one, eh?  So, what is “original sin?”
