The Deconstruction Journey: What About Sin?
The Deconstruction Journey: What About Sin?
Have you been told you are in sin? Called a sinner?
When you question this – you are often immediately labeled a heretic or an apostate or maybe someone who was never really a Christian to begin with.
All of that attack and defensiveness instead of just having an open conversation.
But when you question these – when you open your box, all heaven breaks loose and you start to deconstruct your faith and reconstruct a spirituality that is deeper and richer and more satisfying.
