My idea of the christian religion is, that it is an inspiration and its vital consequences--an inspiration and a life--god's life breathed into a man and breathed through a man--the highest inspiration and the highest life of every soul which it inhabits; and, furthermore, that the soul which it inhabits can have no high issue which is not essentially religious.

Christian Religious Inspiration

More From J. G. Holland

That the religious right completely took over the word christian is a given. at one time, phrases such as christian charity and christian tolerance were used to denote kindness and compassion. to perform a "christian" act meant an act of giving, of acceptance, of toleration. now, christian is invariably linked to right-wing conservative political thought -- christian nation, christian morality, christian values, christian family.
Christian Religious Freedom
Christians have always tended to transform the christian revelation into a christian religion. christianity is said to be a religion like any other or, conversely, some christians try to show that it is a better religion than the others. people attempt to take possession of god. theology claims to explain everything, including the being of god. people tend to transform christianity into a religion because the christian faith obviously places people in an extremely uncomfortable position ­ that of freedom guided only by love and all in the context of god's radical demand that we be holy.

Environmentalism is not an upper-income issue, it's not a white issue, it's not a black issue, it's not a south or a north or an east or a west issue. it's an issue that all of us have a stake in. and if i can do anything to make sure that not just my daughter but every child in america has green pastures to run in and clean air to breathe and clean water to swim in, then that is something i'm going to work my hardest to make happen.

What is sin? it is the glory of god not honored. the holiness of god not reverenced. the greatness of god not admired. the power of god not praised. the truth of god not sought. the wisdom of god not esteemed. the beauty of god not treasured. the goodness of god not savored. the faithfulness of god not trusted. the commandments of god not obeyed. the justice of god not respected. the wrath of god not feared. the grace of god not cherished. the presence of god not prized. the person of god not loved. that is sin.
Greatness Wrath Justice Of God
In the dominant western religious system, the love of god is essentially the same as the belief in god, in god’s existence, god’s justice, god’s love. the love of god is essentially a thought experience. in the eastern religions and in mysticism, the love of god is an intense feeling experience of oneness, inseparably linked with the expression of this love in every act of living.
Religious Expression Oneness
A christian boy or girl can learn mathematics, for example, from a teacher who is not a christian; and truth is truth however learned. but while truth is truth however learned, the bearing of truth, the meaning of truth, the purpose of truth, even in the sphere of mathematics, seem entirely different to the christian from that which they seem to the non-christian; and that is why a truly christian education is possible only when christian conviction underlies not a part but all, of the curriculum of the school.

I think all races are represented in america much more than in many other places, but it's also nice to remind people about that ethnic mix. i would like to see more black models and women from different ethnic backgrounds, but i also think that when you are casting, you just choose the most beautiful girl you can find.

I remember when i was in high school i didn't have a new dress for each special occasion. the girls would bring the fact to my attention, not always too delicately. the boys, however, never bothered with the subject. they were my friends, not because of the size of my wardrobe but because they liked me.
