This is an open-comment theology blog where I will post various theological musings, mostly in sermon or essay form, for others to read and comment on. If what I say here interests you, you may want to check out some of my books. Feel free to criticize, to critique, to comment, but keep comments to the point and respectful. Many of these posts have been published elsewhere, but I wanted them collected and made available to a wider audience.

The Intellectual Freedom Of Universalism
Universalism frees one up to evaluate others' religious ideas without condemnation. I don't think beliefs will send one to Hell. As such I can look at people's bad ideas as mistakes rather than sins. This also allows me to see grains of truth in otherwise wrong ideas, much as scientists and philosophers do. This is very freeing for theology.
You open so many doors to understanding. It really helps me focus on God's expectations of me as opposed to superstitious influences. Thank you.
