I’m likely going to catch some flack for the above title. Whatever.
I follow a couple Christian blogs. You all remember John Shore (@johnshore) and Julie Ferwerda.
The cool Christians will be a series of posts from Christian blogs that are worth a look once in a while.
Shore thinks I’m a liar and a jerk, but I still think he’s doing good work. He’s worth a peek once in a while. These are the cool kids, because they are out to show traditional believers ideas that actually bring them closer to what we view as acceptable thought.
First John Shore:
- In a post called Christian Men Are Still Men–and Men Lust, Shore tackles the subject of belief and porn.
- And then Shore tackles the subject of a gay Christian committing suicide.
And from Ferwerda:
- In a post “Allowing the Questions” about questioning everything, Ferwerda continues her exploration of biblical inerrancy vs errancy.
- In “The Doctrine of Hell Breeds Arrogance,” Ferwerda reveals more about her new-found views on hell and what the bible really says (or doesn’t say) about the tradition of this baseless doctrine.
It’s not that I agree with what’s written in the articles, it’s that these are the messages from the horses’ mouths that it’s important to read now and again. These are the folks that are more open minded than the average bears, and I feel we should help them spread their messages.
