What is this site about?

This site is about ideas. I hope that people will use this site to help them in thinking and in teaching. If you don't find it helpful, perhaps you will find it entertaining. It's all good.

It is interesting how Christians argue with one another. Even when they all have the best intentions, they seem to be unable to resolve questions! Even worse, they wind up separating themselves into denominations, sects, schisms, fractions, cliques, in crowds and out crowds.

This site is predicated on one simple idea, not derived from any authority, but I believe valid nonetheless.

Jesus did not teach very much dogma. Jesus taught a lot of practice. If a dogma leads to practices that contradict what Jesus taught, then that dogma is wrong. No compromises, no waffling: Even if you got your dogma from the Pope, from Pat Robertson, from Bultmann, if your dogma does not lead you to do what Jesus taught, then you need to change your dogma!

This is, at heart, what the parable of the Wheat and the Weeds is about. Seedlings may all look rather similar. But wait and see what kind of plant grows, and then you'll know what you have.

I'll provide some ramblings and some links to sources. You are going to find some weeds here, I'm sure, but I hope some wheat also.
