Anything that is real and true should be able to stand up to scrutiny without any special favors being granted.
You and Tim do good work. Thank you. The only intellectual component of deconstruction is the mental gymnastics it takes to justify plunging headlong into pursuing sin.
That is a great sentence to keep in mind.
What has been built/constructed, now taken apart/ knocked down/ is being deconstructed.
That is a fair definition of deconstruction. Even further definition, re-examination of our beliefs. It examines why go to the Bible in the first place...without starting with the belief that the Bible is true.
Well I would define deconstruction as critically examining your core beliefs to see if they are actually true, and if they're not, then you have to abandon them and replace them with another belief. And this replacing old beliefs with new ones is called reconstruction.
Deconstruction is destroying personality cults in Evangelical Church moving to intentional relationships using the word of God with 1-2 verses
TY π for His Body
Good description
Hell yeah π
Perfect!
I think that is an important distinguishing simplification. Im a lumper, not much of a splitter, so it appeals to me
PLEASE help me find a church locally that believes along the same lines. I have basically said if there are purple lights on the stage itβs an automatic no, sounds harsh but there just seems to be a consistent pattern of pandering?
It's the new end that justifies the means...just read the rules first. The brimstone is only cool when it is seen on stage by a "secular" artist but when it is from a bro/sis in Christ we get offended. SMH! Thank you for promoting the Word of the Lord, AKA doctrine, to be our true foundation of our faith and salvation. Love yall!
Not even on her worst day.
Are you saying trying to define your faith without the use of biblical standards for faith? Based off feelings then, or intellect? π€
Sorry Alissa it isn't a postmodern anything. It is simply questioning whether your beliefs hold any water or not. And yes it is ridiculous to not deconstruct the Bible itself.
She looks way way different here!
The Bible deconstructs itself at places.
