Christianity Must Grow Up!

I am every bit as much of a Christian as Jesus was. And work to become more so each day.

The work of Christianity, of being a Christian is not about believing in Jesus. It is entirely about BEING Jesus. Anybody can believe in Jesus. “Even the demons believe–and shudder!” says James 2:19 (“You believe there is one God–good! Even the demons believe that–and shudder!”). Being a Christian is not putting on an act, a show. But being who Jesus was by knowing what’s what, and what is called for in each situation as it arises and doing what needs to be done about it, when, where and how–doing the right thing, in the right way, at the right time, in the right place–which is exactly the same thing as the Tao. And which we are all called to do and to be by being who Jesus was, making his true path far more Taoist than conventionally Christian.
