Hi Rishi:

I grew up as an Evangelical Lutheran in Germany. "Evangelical," to us Evangelical Lutherans, meant that the "Evangelium," which, in German, means "Gospel" or "Gospels," and is generally understood to be the entire NT, or more precisely the teachings of Jesus, was the foundation of our faith. This, plus the belief that the relationship between the individual and God is entirley a matter between the two, was the basis of our faith.

Although I interpret the Evangelium far more metaphorically than the religious teachers of my youth, I still consider myself an Evangelical Lutheran in the above spirirt.

Jeeez, I read this and my first response was "an oxymoron".

I'm so jaded. 

I'm not sure what others mean, but just parsing it and based on the few times that I've seen it, it's just basing your spiritual life on studying and developing an understanding of the Bible. I tend to broaden my spirituality beyond a single source, so while the Bible is a major spiritual source for me, it certainly isn't the sole source so I don't think that I'd say that I practice "Biblical Spirituality". However, someone else may chime in with a definition that is broad enough to include me.

That’s a good question , Paul says walk in the spirit or live by the spirit. This has been tough for me to grasp over the yrs especially when I failed so miserably I was very tough on myself . My understanding is to live according to the spiritual principals that Jesus taught by the power of His Holy Spirit, this is not a feeling but a decision to do so with the help of God’s Grace in our daily lives. Now I am learning when I fail to live by God’s principals I just ask for forgiveness and move forward and strive.
I see 2 opposing powers and principalities operating in the word, we make the choice which Spirit to walk by.

Hi Mendalla:

My very broad interpretations of the Bible are broad enough to include all wisdom traditions of the world.

I think THE universal spiritual principle is Unity. Unity expresses itself in Unitive awarenss, Unitive love and compassion, Unitive consciousness and conscience. Jesus' teachings express the Unitive Principle very well, but so do the teachings of many other spiritual teachers. What makes Christianity unique is its history, not its teachings of Unity, which are universal.
