DouglasDirk says:

I believe that Jesus would encourage people to build their faith upon love of God and others in whatever manner one selects or is drawn to. I see nothing wrong with being an Eclectic Christian or Christo Pagan. The combining of the spiritual outweighs the formalities of following rigid laws that Jesus taught were impossible to keep to obtain God's grace.

Right on! Finally someone who understands and isn't tied rigidly to dogma.
God bless you for pointing this out so eloquently sir.

He used scripture as a means to remind people of the loving heart of God
                    dwelling within them instead of as a way to enforce ancient purity laws. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.journeywithspirit.com/christianspirituality_jesus_image.htm">Jesus the rebel teacher, a man of great heart and compassion, never stayed in one place within one strata of society. Jesus was always on the move,
                    traveling all roads and touching the hearts of all people. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.journeywithspirit.com/christianspirituality_jesus_image.htm"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.journeywithspirit.com/img/B2CA5C18-DCFB-4716-8DE4-49900D788CAD" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.journeywithspirit.com/christianspirituality_jesus_image.htm">Jesus is a blessed mixture of hope and history, faith and fact, and love and lore. His powerful historical acts were performed as a part of his deeply
                    spiritual journey. As with all great spiritual masters, Jesus still keeps us thinking about what he would do.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.journeywithspirit.com/christianspirituality_jesus_image.htm">What would Jesus do? Would he encourage the evolutionary blending of religion and spirituality? Would he encourage us to overturn religious and
                    societal conventions that oppress people spiritually and politically, and instead follow his historical model for creating tangible works of God in the world? </blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/16FF6159-4A84-411C-BB07-3BC2A331C8F5/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
