Comments on: At The Very Heart of Jesus http://christianmystics.com/?p=267 A Journey Into The Presence of God Tue, 24 Aug 2010 19:39:01 -0700 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: charles http://christianmystics.com/?p=267&cpage=1#comment-934 charles Sun, 08 Mar 2009 21:50:24 +0000 http://christianmystics.com/?p=267#comment-934 It is my contention that the primative Christian faith no longer exists. Why? Because Jesus did not have a cedll phone. Our culture is so s far removed from that timeand place it is impossible to attain what was that simple yet profound revolutionary faith. Until I stumbled across Mysticism, Christian in particular. Herein, I found that faith that was radical enough to get the adherents killed. Too long have we been happy to recite what by rote we have learned, experience is the only way to experience God. We need to get back to the basics, and that is a place where God is the center, and we stand in His Presence. Charles. It is my contention that the primative Christian faith no longer exists. Why?

I downloaded Evelyn Underhill's book from the e-books and I like what she is writing. I also get a glimmer here and there but mostly I am still stuck in the egos world. I would like to read about some experiences of those who are farther along than I am. Hello, I am new and have enjoyed reading.

Thanx for such a timely article. Although I'm active in the local church, I too see more focus on the "religion of" rather than the Christ Himself. Many of us miss out on God's lavish grace through Christ because of this. Peace. Glad to have you back, Brother!

I worry when I don't "hear" from you. Worried about your health and well-being. Thank you for your words. It is funny but my whole life I have been a fervent and disciplined student of the Bible. I could see the ongoing theme. The correlations and foreshadowing. But it all came down to trying to fit the Jesus I knew into the words on its pages. The more I knew of Him, the harder it was to do. The Sermon on the Mount a prime example. He was showing the disciples what He looked like in action. What do we do? Set it up as some impossible mark that we are trying to hit. The mark becomes our God instead of it author and creator. Christ within transforms us into Christ without. The outside cannot change the inside. It doesn't work that way. Much too hard to do. The funny thing is that the changing within happens when you are not looking.Wow! Again, glad you are writing again/ So glad to see you back. I worry when I don’t “hear” from you.
