Presentation transcript:

He (God) knew how or why everything happened; He knew the disposition of every single soul. He wasn’t going to let anything happen by accident! Nobody was going to face damnation by mistake.

This was His world, all this This was His world, all this! He had complete control of it; His justice, His mercy—were not our justice or our mercy. What folly to even imagine such a thing…”

I didn’t have to know how He was going to save the unlettered and the unbaptized, or how He would redeem the conscientious heathen who had never spoken His name.

I didn’t have to know how my gay friends would find their way to redemption, or how my hard-working secular humanist friends could or would receive the power of His saving grace.

I didn’t have to know why good people suffered agony or died in pain I didn’t have to know why good people suffered agony or died in pain. He knew. And it was His knowing that overwhelmed me; His knowing that became completely real to me…

…and why should I remain apart from Him just because I couldn’t grasp all this? He could grasp it.

Today I quit being a Christian. I’m out Today I quit being a Christian. I’m out. I remain committed to Christ, as always, but not to being “Christian” or to being part of Christianity.

It’s simply impossible for me to belong to this quarrelsome, hostile, disputatious, and deservedly infamous group.

For ten years I’ve tried. I’ve failed. I’m an outsider For ten years I’ve tried. I’ve failed. I’m an outsider. My conscience will allow nothing else.

My faith in Christ is central to my life My faith in Christ is central to my life. My conversion from a pess-imistic atheist lost in a world I didn’t understand, to an optimistic believer in a universe created and sustained by a loving God is crucial to me…

…but following Christ does not mean following his followers.

Christ is infinitely more important than Christianity and always will be, no matter what Christianity is, has been, or might become.”

My commitment to Christ remains at the heart and center of my life My commitment to Christ remains at the heart and center of my life. Transformation in Him is radical and ongoing.

Now that I am called to be an outsider for Him, to step away from the words, “Christian” and “Christianity” is something that my conscience demands of me.

"A new command I give you: Love one another. John 13:34

"A new command I give you: Love one another "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. John 13:34

By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." John 13:35

Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. 1 John 4:7 (p. 863)

Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because…God is love. 1 John 4:8

This is how God showed his love among us: He sent His one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 1 John 4:9

This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning Sacrifice for our sins. 1 John 4:10

Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 1 John 4:11

“Now that I am called to be an outsider for Him, to step away from the words, ‘Christian’ and ‘Christianity’ is something that my conscience demands of me.”
