I stumbled upon a cool bible study.
Somewhere along the line, I got hooked into Dry Creek Wrangler school. Duane there has a great voice, and while working with horses is interesting, he’d do other vidyas where he’d take lessons from riding and apply them to life.
Like this:
He did a couple on bible readings, which started two things; Sperging from those that wanted no religion in their horses and churchians sperging about doctrine. So much so he made a video that said he was done with it.
Then he thought better and created a bible study channel, and started it with laying some ground rules that he wasn’t going to tolerate bullshit:
I’ve enjoyed every video since. The last one I saw was this:
It’s about being a hypocrite churchian. Right up my alley, and a pet peeve of mine.
Isaiah chapter 1 was an interesting place to start. A good one, but an interesting choice. There are ample chapters throughout the gospels where Jesus calls out hypocrites. You can’t go before God in his house acting pious when in real life you’re a horror. I also like where he points out that a prayer isn’t just mumbling some words that you think will help, or will sway the big guy. You have to know it and mean it.
The way I explain it is prayers are not incantations. There isn’t some magic sequence of words that will get you what you want, whether you incant them in Latin or not.
All in all, I’ve liked the videos, and even though I’m Catholic, I don’t take offence at his observations or thoughts on Catholicism, or organized religion whatsoever.
I don’t like churchians either. And I run into them all the time.
