    Ukraine

    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...

    How Important Are The Worldy Expressions Of Our Faith?

    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...

    Why Do Christians Not Call Themselves Anarchists?

    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...

    Concerning My Exchanges With My Counsellor.

    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...

    An Hour With An Sda Professional Counsellor.

    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...

    Christian Anarchism

    If people want to organise a Church and give it a name it needs maintenance. Tithing and offerings then become necessary. Christian Anarchists do not need an organised Church, but when we are depressed we need something from this world, preferably not medication or ECT (see my blog entry), We...

    Christian Anarchism and depression.

    @Sabertooth. Being interested in Christian Anarchism I will not be joining, even temporally, any established Church, even if they have a healing ministry. As described in my latest blog entry, the blog is entitled Christian Anarchism, family and friends who have recently become very helpful and...

    Christian Anarchism and depression.

    @Jeshu. I have written quite a bit in my blog about Rom 13 but I did not intend this thread to be concerned about Christian Anarchism, but about how they deal with depression. Thank you for your post. BTW, I do not expect Christian Anarchism to be introduced into the faith. That would not be...

    Christian Anarchism

    @GodsGrace101. I have written quite a lot in my last blog entry about depression. Medication is no good for me. Talk therapy is working. Try the Wiki entry on Christian Anarchism as a beginning if you are interested. God bless.

    Christian Anarchism and depression.

    I have a blog here entitled Christian Anarchism and my last blog entry there concerns my depression. It also explains why I do not expect a discussion about my depression in my blog. So I am here. I have recently been professionally diagnosed with moderate depression (not mild nor severe) and...

    Christian Anarchism

    I perhaps should begin another thread on this topic, but I will throw it out here for now. In my blog I am asking how Christian Anarchists deal with depression. Many SDA friends and family are doing their best for me.

    Living, And Trying To Deal With Depression.

    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...

    Tools, Views On God, And Inspirational Blogging.

    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...

    My Views On God.

    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...

    Is There A Parallel Between Rc Confessionals And A Christian Anarchist Response To Serious Crime?

    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...
