No More Noise

After listening to much 'theology' and religous dogmatism I have returned to The Quiet.

At Church today after communion I was anointed with oil and the dogmatic noise stoped.

I agree with Thomas A Kempis when he said that he would rather have contrition then be able to define it.

Away from the noise we can understand that when Jesus said "This is my body" or "This is my blood" he was not saying "Now spend the next 2000 years philosophyung about it."

Our God is a God of justice and endless dogmatism can never bring justice.

Took an untrodden path once, where the swift don't win the race,
It goes to the worthy, who can divide the word of truth.
Took a stranger to teach me, to look into justice's beautiful face
And to see an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
:- Bob Dylan

Religion does not look to justice.

Away from the noise all that can be heard is The Gospel.

1 Corinthians 2:2
For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.

1 Corinthians 1:23but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles,

In all the noise, Christ crucified is hardly if ever mentioned.
