Chat with a New Christian

5


5 per unit - Virtual OK - Posted Aug 30, 2017

I'm a member of the General Church of the New Jerusalem ("New Church" for short), based on both Testaments of the Bible and the Writings of Emmanuel Swedenborg. Members of this church are often termed Swedenborgians. It's a pretty small Christian movement and I think it's great and enjoy talking about it. (It's not a cult. Promise.) Some core beliefs are:

Our Lord Jesus Christ is the one loving God.

The Bible is God speaking through literal stories and a systematic inner meaning.

Love is the basis of scripture.

Life after death, heaven, and angels are all real.

Salvation is progressive and involves an ongoing process of spiritual growth.

God came to earth as Jesus Christ to overcome the power of evil.

Happiness comes when we let God inspire our daily work and service to others.

God endows us with the capacity to choose our eternal destiny.

Marriage love can become spiritual and continue to eternity.

Heaven is for all who love God and live according to His Commandments

If you're at all interested in having a respectful, open discussion about this relatively new form of Christianity, I'd love to chat with you about it via simbi messaging or Skype. I think it's important to be able to have respectful and genuinely curious conversations about religion, faith, and spirituality. If you're of a similar mindset, I'd love to have a conversation with you sometime.

We can either set up a 30 minute video chat sometime or we can have an ongoing conversation on simbi messaging, whichever works best for you.

Training & Qualifications


I was baptized into the New Church as an infant and had a private New Church education through high school. As an adult, I confirmed my faith in this church and have become a member of the organization. I am also married to a New Church minister. And I like talking about things that really matter to me.

Availability & Preferences


I am pretty flexible.

Trading Preference: I’m flexible, just hit me up!

I had to much fun collaborating with Justine. We instantly vibed and I even noticed at one point I would be thinking of an idea and she would say it! ...This was such an awesome session. Before contacting her, I'd hit a wall in coming up with a name for a new idea I'm launching soon. By the end of our session, she'd helped me come up with a domain name and 3 additional names. Thank you so much Justine! I'm looking forward to us collaborating again soon. :-) show more

About Justine Buss

I consider myself an artist parent. I am currently a stay at home mom to three crazy youngsters and am also a writer, performer, theatre coach, and murder mystery party game creator. I am a devout S...wedenborgian (part of a really cool New Christianity) and believe that creativity is essential to leading a useful and happy life. Creativity, family, and faith are the three most important things to me. Keeping them all balanced is tricky, but I delight in the challenge. It's all just life. I went to Muhlenberg College in Allentown, Pennsylvania and got my degree in English and Theatre with concentrations in acting and performance studies. I spent a semester abroad at Queen Mary in London and will always be an avid Anglophile. I will most definitely go back someday. I have worked as a writing tutor, production manager, and teaching artist. I am from the US, but my husband and I moved to Toronto in 2015. We love it here and hope we are able to stay for a while. To wrap up, I love seafood, singing, watching movies, carbs, writing, shopping, and spending time with my family. show more
