“Aunty, you’re stirring up my PTSDA!” –George R Brown on Aunt Sevvy’s Response to biblical evidence for the Sabbath & Sunday Conflict
Comments on Aunt Sevvy, Why Is Our Church so Authoritarian?, Daniel 8:14 Is About the Gospel of Grace, The Afternoon of Adventism, and The Lesson of Richard Rohr’s Cosmic Egg
Aunt Sevvy, where does the Bible say that there’ll be a conflict about Sabbath & Sunday observance?
“Aunty, you’re stirring up my PTSDA!”
EDITORIAL: Why Is Our Denomination So Authoritarian?
“I have made it my life’s work to introduce a grace-based mindset into church. Let me just say, the idea that we are saved by what Jesus does and not what we do is not always well-received. In fact, it is often met with militant legalism.“
–Stewart Pepper
Daniel 8:14 Is About Restoring the Gospel of God’s Grace
“Thank you for using a traditional teaching to turn us back to Jesus! This is a much more grace-filled interpretation than the one we’ve usually been given, about judgment going on and on for years, and you don’t know when it is done, but right then your probation closes!”
–Loren Seibold
“A thoughtful and updated article. I am at the point that I need more spiritual teaching and preaching from my Church. I have all of the traditional teachings down pat. I am hungry for ‘now what?’…to be answered. The same question that I asked the evangelist after he baptized me many years ago. I am hungry for more spiritual language, more about Jesus and His absolutely free love, grace and mercy.
The Lesson of Richard Rohr’s Cosmic Egg
“Thank you to Collette Carr! My story is so very very similar to yours. At the age of 73 I’m discovering and reading writers like Rohr and stepping into bigger and more beautiful views of God, and more charitable views of my fellow human travelers.“
–Lyn Patton
Aunt Sevvy, what denomination would Jesus be a member of?
“The deceptive flow off from a church institution modelled on hierarchical leadership and power politics is that so much of what Jesus said gets interpreted as dictatorial sayings or permission to control people or picturing God as a judge who hates his enemies and destroys people.
