Hi, I've been reading a bit about this and wondering why the Third Wave is called that, and what was the first wave, and second wave? Is the third wave still ongoing? Thanks for any help you can provide to understand this a little better

Because I tend to approach Christianity through the various theologies out there, I tend to feel at odds a times with others in the church who haven't read what I have read, eg. Moltmann, Barth etc. But i don't know, probably this why of approaching christianity is part of the problem.

Absolute (rather than objective) contrasts with relative. Objective contrasts with subjective. But the problems for me have come when I try to approach Christianity through theology and philosophy

Thanks for sharing. Yes I have felt at times, theres a certain theological control exercised in some churches, when I have brought up certain theological idea (eg. those of Martin Luther) its sometimes been asserted by someone : the finite is not capable of the infinite. All I know is that I...

I'll say a bit more: Many years ago I attended a renunciation (of idols) service. However I felt it was not going to help because I felt hopeless and close to a breakdown, and didn't think I was ready to make a renunciation. I don't remember the service very clearly other than that gnostic...

I just feel that at some level I am in the grip of unbelief.

I am not sure I just think at a fairly young age I didn't take the path of christian faith, and went down a path of gnosis. It would be stuff like Valentianism, and other myths. I couldn't extricate myself from it, when I thought I had had just gone from one sort of gnostic belief to a...

HI, Not sure if I am posting this is the right forum. I am looking for some more info on what are known as christian Higher Life / Holiness teachings on Sanctification. I have already done a bit of research, I want to ask about one or two christian writers to see what camp if any they fall...

I think I may have read some of Ratzinger's Introduction to Christianity a good many years ago. I think the problem is no matter what I read on Christianity, I seem to already have contrary belief system, some sort of gnostic system of cosmology perhaps, because I was interested in this when...

Please pray for me. I don't want to get into a lot of philosophical debate. All I can say is I am finding it very difficult to ascertain what i really believe. and feel engaged in a unhealthy degree of introspection, trying to figure out what did I believe back in the past. I think I am trying...

Could you explain more about what you mean, so that I can understand.

I wasn't sure whether to post this here or in the mental health forums. I have struggled a lot with questions about reality for several decades, including trying to think it through "philosophically" as it were, like how can I be in touch with reality. I had a very bad time some years ago when...

Yeah, I'm sorry, it was a bit sarky of me.... One thinks it will flow nicely when it starts. But OP did make the rules clear, and did put it in a games forum. So I think its down to time delays and not knowing who is on, and to be honest you were not telling others if they were right yourself...

returntosender, maybe this isn't the sort of game for you, I mean if you cannot look a few posts up the thread to remind yourself what the clue you just attempted to answer was? Maybe? Or, I don't know, maybe you want to arrange to be on at the same time and for the same duration with others...
