Saying 107 Jesus said, “The kingdom is like a shepherd who had a hundred sheep; one of them, the biggest, went astray; he left the ninety-nine and sought after the one until he found it. After he had labored, he said to the sheep, ‘I

Mythical Jesus, Mystical Christ

For many of us, our ideas about Jesus have shifted since the early days of our Christian faith. I started out talking to God as a young boy in Elementary school without knowing anything about the Bible or Jesus. Later on, I was told that God’s son was Jesus and that Jesus loved me and died for me. So, I started looping Jesus into those late night conversations with his Dad. Soon, I was singing songs about worshipping Jesus... Read more

The Gospel of Thomas isn’t what most people think it is. First of all, it’s not a Gnostic text. Meaning, it doesn’t contain teachings about a Demiurge that created our world or stories about how the physical body is evil and the spiritual world is holy. Those teachings come from Sethian Gnosticism and none of that appears in the pages of the Gospel of Thomas. Thomas’s Gospel is also not a Gospel, technically. Meaning, it doesn’t contain any stories of... Read more

As I was interviewing author Mary Terhune [Out of the Blue] for my Second Cup with Keith podcast earlier this week, she kept mentioning our present Awakening into enlightenment, as if it were something that was already true. After the third or fourth time she used that phrase, I had to stop her and ask her why she was talking as if this collective Awakening into Oneness was already happening, when, to me, it clearly was not. From everything I’m... Read more

Dreaming of Christian Visibility Day

Last updated on: April 11, 2024 at 9:31 pm By Keith Giles

In response to the accidental overlap of Easter celebrations and Trans Visibility Day, Republican Presidential candidate Donald J. Trump recently proclaimed that the day he is elected President would become “Christian Visibility Day.” I’m sure you’ve been dreaming of such a day, too, my friends. The day when Christians can finally pray openly in public at a restaurant with their families – out loud – without fear. The day that Christians can wear the symbols of their faith around their...

Why They Keep Us Apart: The Power of Division

A recent survey posted by the Associated Press last week really opened my eyes to something. In fact, when I first saw this graphic [see below] it was such a shock to my mind that I had to take a few minutes to reorient myself once again to reality as it is versus reality as it is projected on to us. Here’s the graphic from the survey which asked Americans [both Democrat/Republican, Christian/Muslim, Atheist/Deist, Black/White, Male/Female, etc.] to rank how... Read more
