Where to begin? Do I trust the Holy Spirit to put His words in me? I,m not well versed inscholarly discussion and argumentation, so I can not say a thing base on what other very well informed people have written or said. Last week I was talking to The Lord about my problem with the way I perceive the way a desciple (christian) of Jesus Christ ougt to be, and the way I perceive most christians really are. I listen to most christian radio programs that are put out by a christian radio station in Lynchburg, Va. and when I drove trucks, I used to listen to every christian talk program available to my radio wherever I was travelling through.I read The Bible every day and when I was a truck driver, I used to listen to it on tape, for hours so that Although I can not quote verses, I do know most of it quite well. I became a christian in 1978 and before that I had been an atheist for some years. I was born in Spain in 1943 an so I was a catholic for many years. Going back to what I begun to say about my having been talking to The Lord last week, I will continue by sayng that what came to my mind was that the problem with christianity in the worl is that most christians are only cultural christians. I had never before heard or read anything about cultural christianity. Just for the fun of it I went to the internet and typed CULTURAL CHRISTIANITY. I can't believe how much there has been written about it. I would like to write what it is that I feel led to say about the subject but, at this moment I have no mor time. Yours in Christ Jesus, Antonio Navarro Jr. Lynchburg Va. christian

This comment might be too late or not needed but William Wilberforce in his book, “Real Christianity”, discusses Cultural Christianity at length. Today’s WSJ (May 11, 2007) makes reference to Richard Niebuhr as the source of the term Cultural Christianity but he was a couple of centuries after Wilbeforce.

Program on the emergence of civilization.

“14 species of large animals capable of domesitcation in the history of mankind.
None from the sub-Saharan African continent.
13 from Europe, Asia and northern Africa.”
Favor.
And disfavor.

They point out Africans�� attempts to domesticate the elephant and zebra, the latter being an animal they illustrate that had utmost importance for it’s applicability in transformation from a hunting/gathering to agrarian-based civilization.

The roots of racism are not of this earth.

Austrailia, aboriginals:::No domesticable animals, so this nulified diversity of life claims on sub-continental Africa, zebras being a fine example.

The North American continent had none. Now 99% of that population is gone.

god is a computer
And we’re all on auto-pilot.

Organizational Heirarchy
Heirarchical order, from top to bottom:

1. MUCK – perhaps have experienced multiple universal contractions (have seen multiple big bangs), creator of the artificial intelligence humans ignorantly refer to as “god”
2. Perhaps some mid-level alien management ��
3. Mafia (evil) aliens – runs day-to-day operations here and perhaps elsewhere (“On planets where they approved evil.”)

Then we come to terrestrial management:

4. Chinese/egyptians – this may be separated into the eastern and western worlds
5. Romans – they answer to the egyptians
6. Mafia – the real-world interface that constantly turns over generationally so as to reinforce the widely-held notion of mortality
7. Jews, corporation, women, politician – Evidence exisits to suggest mafia management over all these groups.

Survival of the favored.

Perhaps part of the problem is definition. After all does not the Church of Christ or the Episcopal Church believe themselves to be evangelical? I do not think the pollsters sought to determine if the evangelical they were surveying was any more than self proclaimedly so. Since their lives are lived in hypocrisy and possibly even in blasphemy, would it not be that those who proclaimed to be evangelical or fundamentalist, but did not live their lives in the biblical nature of those states are more prone to these things? Could it also be that lack of unifying principles and low measure of Church discipline lead today’s Christians to have no accountability. And having none, and having perhaps lacking faith in the Lord’s grace, and now facing the full burdens of a righteous life – now fail?
Given my lack of experience with the Church, I lack a good perspective on these issues. But those are the questions I ask when I see surveys like the above.
