Do I still believe that Jesus resurrected physically from the grave? No. I do believe that he came out of the grave, but not after having been actually dead. (See my article on the Easter Story for my take on this whole issue of resurrection.)
Now, I do not suggest that I understand everything there is to understand about the workings of the universe, natural or not. I do suggest this, however: unless the Law works consistently, and throughout, there can be no real trustworthy Presence. It becomes too flippant, too inconsistent. I believe that the One Power and Presence that is this universe is totally and completely trustworthy. And because of that, I know that my word, working through Law, has power. I literally speak my experience of reality into existence. It never fails me. It works as I believe. So goes the universe. It is trustworthy, consistent, and through our word, we create our experience of reality. And thoughts are words. The Bible says, "As a man thinketh, so is he." The Buddha said, "You are what you think about all day." Your life is the result of every thought and word you have put forth. Don't like what you see? Change your words, change your life. Change your thinking, change your world. So, am I a heretic? Probably. But I am a happy heretic. I continue to explore. And Jesus is still my friend.
