And if I get any pocket change from it, I'll give her her share. :)<BR/><BR/>What if Christ were woman? <BR/><BR/>You know the DaVinci Code is a blockbuster that is absolutely fiction. But people are losing it over it. I thought the book was great for its genre. <BR/><BR/>Jess writes wonderfully and Lorraine and James is awesome.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07932082084523211319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9945723.post-1129335659183126802005-10-14T20:20:00.000-04:002005-10-14T20:20:00.000-04:00:) Thanks, Mike.

There will be no Our mother's here. :)<BR/><BR/>Where am I going with this?<BR/><BR/>definitely not to go against scripture. in fact i stated that this story goes around scripture. what it does is stretch our imagination of God. Clearly this story isn't biblical, but it is thought-provoking. why wasn't Christ meant to be a woman? why does God have a son not a daughter? how important is woman to kingdom building? is it relevant? <BR/>if not, why aren't more women ministers?<BR/><BR/>this story houses many questions that some women, who are christian wonder about. can i, a woman, minister to the world? what am i here for?<BR/><BR/>it is also looks at this whole notion of "christian fiction" as a genre. Jess doesn't suggest that her story is christian or faith fiction. But are there not novels, that proclaim that they are Christian Fiction, but do not edify Christ or the church? Yet, because a pulpit is on the cover, a few people spout prayers, novice believers wouldn't know the difference?<BR/><BR/>Thanks for commenting. I agree, wholeheartedly with the "head on collision with scripture" statement you made. That is why I believe that as this genre widens and our christian worldviews become more inclusive there should be some parameters that go beyond profanity and sex. On the the same hand, if we claim to be seeking a larger worldview of God, these type works may began to slide into the genre without our liking. Things to consider. <BR/><BR/>I thank Jess for agreeing to share her story with me. Thank you, Mike for speaking up.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07932082084523211319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9945723.post-1129333740192077892005-10-14T19:49:00.000-04:002005-10-14T19:49:00.000-04:00Yikes!

And if you ask me to pray to, "Our Mother Who art in heaven..." I'm outta here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
