It tells us that to be human is to be limited." Healthy shame is an emotion which signals us about our limits. Shame is part of our boundry system. Or Healthy shame keeps us grounded. He also goes on to say that "Our healthy shame is essential as the ground of our spirituality. By signaling us of our essential limitations, our healthy shame lets us know that we are not God." Agreed. But I don't read in the Bible that Christ was shamed, nor that we have to identify with that shame. Why would he be shamed, when the definition of shame according to Websters is, 1: a painful emotion caused by consciousness of guilt, shortcoming, or impropriety b: the susceptibility to such emotion. 2: a condition of humiliating disgrace or disrepute : ignominy. 3 something that brings censure or reproach; also : something to be regretted. <BR/><BR/>You would have to explain to me what definition he's using of the word shame. Also, shame is a byproduct of guilt. <BR/><BR/>It does give one pause for thought.****https://www.blogger.com/profile/08809240640785005593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18246136.post-42879468504882936332008-01-08T19:07:00.000-05:002008-01-08T19:07:00.000-05:00After having finished the course, I can say that I...After having finished the course, I can say that I agree with my professors' idea that we should embrace our shame. Our discussion did not equate shame with sin. There is sometimes shame that comes along with sinful or immoral behavior, but shame can also be an irrational response to something that seems completely innocuous to the rest of the world. There is a difference between shame and guilt and it seems like you might be thinking of the latter.<BR/><BR/>It's difficult for me to form a coherent response right now, but I might write more about this later.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06164119748164140223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18246136.post-10802344647898313222008-01-08T18:45:00.000-05:002008-01-08T18:45:00.000-05:00I was looking for a more concert way to say that b...I was looking for a more concert way to say that being afraid is similar to shame when I happened upon your blog. Thank you Google. I disagree that we need to embrace shame as an essential part of Christian identity. Shame is a toxic emotion that keeps us from God, not the other way around. Sin = Shame. People often hide from God when they've sinned, due to shame. I'd be curious to hear how your instructor sees the value in shame.****https://www.blogger.com/profile/08809240640785005593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18246136.post-76727168181567527842006-09-26T22:45:00.000-04:002006-09-26T22:45:00.000-04:00Only 96?
