Yes! RE-directed desire. RE-directed longing, energy, purpose. This is the power of the resurrection.

Yes, it often appears to be spirituality, when in fact it's subtly ego wanting to be special.

Thanks Jonathan, I see some of this going on, I even heard one man say Jesus and Muhammad are brothers. And in doing this many are loosing sight of God's plan. We have to realize we have sinned and only blood can resolve the matter. In days past the blood of bulls and goats was a substitute until Jesus. Maybe this so called unity of ways is the beginnings of a one world religion.

You might be onto something. The Baha'i faith has attempted to do this for some time.

But the hallmark of this, is the dilution of truth, replacing strong words with vagaries subject to interpretation that allows room for human will.

The strength of truth can be unsettling at first, yet becomes an anchor once we come to appreciate the certainty of it, in a world filled with chaos.
