Although there has always been a hermeneutic problem in Christianity, the hermeneutic question today seems to us a new one.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There has always been a hermeneutic problem in Christianity because Christianity proceeds from a proclamation.
The very fact that doctrine is hewn from bitter controversy and tested through time is sufficient reason to make them a focus of theology.
St. Paul would say to the philosophers that God created man so that he would seek the Divine, try to attain the Divine. That is why all pre-Christian philosophy is theological at its summit.
Christianity has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and not tried.
Christianity is not about the divine becoming human so much as it is about the human becoming divine. That is a paradigm shift of the first order.
A mystery, in Christian theology, is what God knows and man cannot, and must instead believe.
There is only one issue: man's lack of experience in feeling his Divine self and his innate connection with the Divine. All other issues stem from this.
We need to understand that Christianity is about changing; it is not about a religion.
It is not Christianity, but priestcraft that has subjected woman as we find her.
Within the covers of the Bible are the answers for all the problems men face.
