Until people return to the mountain or garden to pray, the list of "To Do's" will grow. It's kind of like buying land. Thousands of years ago, the "To Do's" were simple. Today, the stack of papers to sign and the complicated process is enough to confuse the best.

Religion today has become overrun with "Spiritual Attorneys", creating the Vortex of Law that has unleashed the never ending trail of another Idea and papers to sign.

If we don't simplify Faith, the World will become doomed by concepts formed in the Halls of Salvation litigation.

NFS, the problem with this is that many of us are very much for simplification, but what we see is deconstruction.

I no issue with stripping off the varnish and getting back to the basics. But when you rip up the floorboards, jack hammer the concrete and smile about walking around on a dirt floor, you have lost me.

In cooking the terms ‘simplification’ and ‘deconstruction’ have interesting connotations. The former, means taking away the complexity and letting the main ingredient shin. With the latter, you break down the dish to its raw ingredients, then put it back together in such a way that the original classic is only vaguely recognizable. THIS is what a lot of us Oneness Pentecostals see happening with this Neo-PCI movement.

I like simplification.
I have no use for spiritual deconstruction.
