488. Do You Only See What You Expect To See?

Mike Parsons All those people who say they have been in hell for ten minutes, or whatever, are framing their experience through their theological understanding of hell rather than the truth. They see what they expect to see. That is the problem. We can be confirmation-biased and create our own scenario around what God is really trying… Continue reading 488.

490. Can Changing One Belief Change Everything?

Mike Parsons “Do you want me to remove these pillars from your mind?” asked the Father. I believe six of them were religious pillars, and three were cultural or scientific. It was then that I realised these pillars were framing how I viewed the world and understood reality around me. The first and strongest pillar was evangelicalism. He removed… Continue reading 490.

491. When I Let Go Of Penal Substitutionary Atonement

Mike Parsons Penal substitutionary atonement (PSA) was the first to go. When I began to express my doubts about it to others, one woman involved in mystic and mentoring groups emailed me, saying I was trying to take away ‘the cornerstone of her faith’. She was serious and angry at me because she wanted to hold… Continue reading 491. When I Let Go Of Penal Substitutionary Atonement

492. Evangelicalism Unravelled: The Fall of ‘Sola Scriptura’

Mike Parsons They didn’t believe it in the early church. There was no penal substitutionary atonement. The atonement, or what Jesus did on the cross, was Christus Victor, mostly. Christ victorious over what? Our lost identity, our death, over everything. A very different view of what Jesus did. But Protestantism very quickly picked up on penal substitutionary atonement and it became the cornerstone… Continue reading 492. Evangelicalism Unravelled: The Fall of ‘Sola Scriptura’

498. Trapped In Fear: Evangelical Mind Control Exposed!

Mike Parsons  We don’t know to what degree we have been programmed until God starts to deprogram us.

501. Deconstructing Beliefs: A Journey to Authentic Faith

Mike Parsons The deconstruction of our way of thinking comes from experiencing God. If I present people with theory about God, they will soon spot the gaps in that theory reflected in my own life.

Mike Parsons The Danger of Over-Spiritualising Everything For me, the danger in allegorising everything in terms of the Bible is that it can make things that are actually real seem as if they are not real, and only spiritual. For instance, I have heard people like Kay Fairchild and others say, “Heaven is in you.” And… Continue reading 522.

What will cause people… Continue reading 527: The Ripple Effect
