God Is Not a Christian

"However God's spotlight shows up in your calendar, let God's spotlight wake you up, and show you how to shepherd the holiness within you, and with every human being you meet. Particularly of those of another faith, or of no faith."
Sermon by Ed Bacon, at All Saints Church, Pasadena, at 9 a.m. Sunday, April 10, 2016. Readings: Isaiah 65:17-25 and John 21:15-17.

Bless you, Ed Bacon, and God bless All Saints Church for being the intelligent voice of reason in this time of religious turmoil. You bring hope to an ailing world.

Reverend Bacon, you confirmed my husband and me at St. Andrews Cathedral in Jackson, MS in 1991. You are love! So glad to see that you are still the same person who is so accepting. You were the first person who really made me want to believe in a faith that’s not condemning🙏🏻

"Namaste"

Answer of one of my questions...yes God is not a Christian nor this or that religion.

[@JNeil1975]

I am an open minded Christian with progressive views on many issues. However....as a Christian....I would never remove the cross or de-Christianize myself in an attempt to make others happy. I respect other people's faith and expect them to respect mine. I think this speaker has gone from being an open minded Christian to a politically correct disgrace.

Be a humble loving Christian... Or be a humble loving multifaith adherent... Jusy don't confuse the two. Jesus is Lord. See the common ground in all but respect and uphold the uniqueness of Jesus Christ and be prepared for the offence of the message of the cross which is folly to some and the wisdom and power of God to others.

So All Saints is an interfaith congregation?

[@bluemagic9531]

Sounds like yes, and don't think it's a bad thing.

Shame on you! Deterring people from the truth of the Gospel and partaking of removing the cross from the County Seal!

I understand the push to be "progressive" (which is not always a good thing in this world from a Christian worldview), but its disturbing to hear what is supposed to be a minister of the Gospel call himself an "atheist" and to advocate for the removal of the cross from any government seal. I was once Episcopalian, and its things like this that remind me of why I left. The Church is called to be more faithful than this. Shameful.
