Goals Must Never Be From Your Ego,

The Classical Error Of Historical Christianity Is That We Have Never Started With The Value Of The Person. Rather, We Have Started From The 'unworthiness Of The Sinner', And That Starting Point Has Set The Stage For The Glorification Of Human Shame In Christian Theology.

Roman Catholics Utter Their Papal Edicts, Protestants Quote Their Bible, Fundamentalists Declare Their Orthodox Theological Dogmas, And We Are All Expected To Renounce Private Reflection And Peacefully Acquiesce To These Pronouncements. And The Result Is That The Dignity Of The Person Is Violated By Such Oppressive, Intelligence-smothering Forms Of Communication.

Pessimism Drops The Curtain On Tomorrow.

To Be Born Again Means That We Must Be Changed From A Negative To A Positive Self-image - From Inferiority To Self-esteem, From Fear To Love, From Doubt To Trust.

The Core Of Original Sin, Then Is Lot - Lack Of Trust. Or, It Could Be Considered An Innate Inability To Adequately Value Ourselves. Label It A 'negative Self-image,' But Do Not Say That The Central Core Of The Human Soul Is Wickedness. ... Positive Christianity Does Not Hold To Human Depravity, But To Human Inability.
