Christian Anarchism

I am working with my Samsung smartphone from the first time, to test that it can be done, and entered into my blog on www.christianforums.com., therefore I will keep it short as part of my test. My views on the Ukrainian war are the same as for all wars as a Christian Anarchist. The last...

I have a problem, and it may be because I am interested in Christian Anarchism rather than any other interpretations of the Christian faith based on the Bible, that the constant reference to Jesus in public song and preaching leaves me cold. Well, that is not quite true, I can listen to old...

It is amazing how Christians, those who call themselves Christians whether they go to a Church or not, talk strongly about their belief and relationship with Christ, but it is only talk. They often do good work, help others and declare their strong spirituality. They pray. They read and often...

I have said in my earlier blog entry that as a new entry I would report on my four sessions with my counsellor one at a time. It appears those sessions have been abandoned (unless I want them), but the talk therapy using WhatsApp (for which there is no charge) with him is going ahead and is...

His business is called "Life Intervention and Support Services", and he runs it with three colleagues. The hour cost 220 Barbados dollars. His personal only conversation covered diet and exercise, with no mention of talk therapy or medication. I did not hear anything new, he reiterated the...

I think I have explained before in my entries here that my writing is the equivalent of talk therapy, the third of four recommended treatments for mild depression. The four treatments are to consider diet, to ensure some exercise, to engage in talk therapy and then perhaps try medication. Things...

Participating in a group on Facebook entitled Christian Anarchists I made reference to two ideas which need considerable elaboration, but the group discussions there do not seem readily responsive therefore I am inspired to blog about them, and particularly since I have not been very active here...

Many years ago I read the following book, and it did little to bring me closer to God: "The Intellectuals Speak Out About God: A Handbook for the Christian Student in a Secular Society", (September 1, 1984), by Roy Abraham Varghese (Editor). I respect the Bible, and occasionally read a Scripture...

To begin, I must quote this: "The priest must maintain absolute secrecy about anything that a person confesses. For this reason, confessionals were developed with screens to protect the anonymity of the penitent. This secrecy is called "the sacramental seal, 'the seal of the confessional,' or...

I am in trouble! Recently on a teachers' website I wrote something from my old anarchistic days which caused me to get banned but it has highlighted my interest in and concern for Christian Anarchism. Unfortunately I am not able to discuss the serious misunderstanding for which I was responsible...

In a thread on a teachers' website discussing the idea of de-schooling society (Ivan Illich, 1971), prompted by the disaffection of many teachers in the UK with their work situations, and now possibly encouraged by the interest created in on-line learning and home schooling because of the...

I have not wrote an entry for my blog for some time now, as I have been a little disheartened by my wife's unhappiness with the title Christian Anarchism. I have been explaining to her that I do not claim to be a Christian Anarchist, anymore than I would claim to be a Seventh Day Adventist, a...

In my thread entitled "Christian Anarchism" in the Contraversial Christian Theology Forum here in CF a fellow poster has requested that I write my testimony. I will quote his post. Brother Agallagher wrote: "Brother Norman, what is your testimony which brought you closer to God, and when was the...

Wow! Two weeks since I last did a blog entry! Thank you to all readers, I hope and pray that I am not boring you. I promised that I would write an entry on my views on God's Laws because I often refer to them. Christian Anarchism holds us accountable to God's Laws alone, and if civil laws are in...

This is going to be quite a lengthy entry, I am writing it on New Year's Eve Day, with nothing else to do apart from waiting for the New Year to arrive. I will be humbly honoured if anyone takes the time to read it all, and very thankful for a like, a dislike or even a brief comment. Note my...

I am not sure what my Christian brethren think about Christmas? Particularly those who like to think that they are Christians Anarchists, but all other people who claim to be Christians are also my brethren, and non-believers are my brethren if they are prepared to accept me in that I believe in...

It has not been a good time for me healthwise, and the weeks are long and very quiet. There are no serious health problems beyond what I have already, but there is depression and some physical discomfort. As I wrote during my stays in hospital (the letters are included in some of my earlier blog...

I am struggling a little to find something to write about this week since I said that I would not proselytize but just post my views on any incident in my life, and then my reaction to it as someone who is interested in Christian Anarchism. Of course I could write lots if I was to return to...

I continue with my talk therapy and thank all the readers of my earlier entries. My depression is not lifting, it sometimes gets worse, but writing here helps me tremendously, especially since my entries are being read by quite a number of you. Thank you again! More than a week has gone by since...

Well, more than a week has gone by since I wrote my blog entry entitled "Man's inhumanity to man". In my initial description of this blog, entitled Christian Anarchism, I suggested that I would be proselytizing, but then in my early entries I criticized myself for using this word as it was not...
