Middle ground of my Christian non traditional faith
I’ve been on a journey with my Christian walk — one that has deepened over time. My relationship with Jesus continues to grow, but my understanding of God has also expanded. I’ve come to see that seeking God is an active thing — a verb — not just something I believe in. I experience God as Presence, as Love, as something that lives and moves through me. I still see myself as a Christian, but I also resonate with the more mystical side of the path. I feel close to Mary Magdalene and the wisdom found in her gospel — she reminds me that love, grace, and direct experience with the Divine are part of the journey too. I’m learning to walk the middle road — between the Christ within and the Christ I was taught about, between mystery and faith, between knowing and not knowing. I am not a traditional Christian believing in hell as described in the Bible. I know God is found within. I also don’t believe in the enemy as described in the Bible. I don’t believe a lot in what Paul wrote. The list goes on. It’s all metaphorical and not to be taken word for word
