Mystical Angels

Are there any theologically mystical aspects to Christian fundamentalism?

1. Not really, its pretty straight forward.
2. Just off hand I'm going to say mostly no. Christian fundamentalism is a religion of the book. It is from the Bible that God knowledge is gained - not mystical experience. @Amalthea Funny that the Holy Spirit always seems to relate the dogma of the fundamentalist's church back to them. @Amalthea I have asked numerous fundamentalist Christians what knowledge of God they've received through the Holy Spirit or what understanding they've gained that cannot be accounted for by the text of the Bible or the tenets of their fundamentalist faith, and I've yet to hear a single example of unaccounted for knowledge or understanding. They just repeat what they've read in the Bible or learned through their church or religious figures.
3. Holy Prepuce is mistaken. Knowledge of God is gained from the Bible, yes, but cannot be understood without the Holy Spirit. And the Holy Spirit comes from Christ alone. If you call that mystical. **The true experience of the Holy Spirit is always an individual one. There is no dogma involved, because it is not dependent on spoken word. And one need not be a churchgoer to experience it. ***You are correct in that the Holy Spirit will not contradict the word of God. The "knowledge" I have gained is that I have not merely read about God- I have experienced God. Christians are telling the simple truth when they say that it is a personal relationship. And until you have experienced it, there is no way of understanding it. As much as I've enjoyed this dialog, it's pretty late where I am, and I have to work tomorrow. Peace, Holy Prepuce! I never meant any offense to you. I wish you a restful night as well.
