I am trying to find practical, contemporary advice on living in moment by moment dependence on Jesus Christ. I mean things like forums, podcasts, blogs, as opposed to books or PDFs. More specifics within. [more inside]

I'm trying to find references to Jesus Christ in first century literature outside of the Bible. So far the only authors I've found who mention him are Thallus, Phlegon, and Josephus. Am I missing anyone else?

Xian Theology: most of the teachings of my wife's Church that really irritate me are either old testament, or from Paul. Given that Paul was not one of the 12 apostles (did he even meet J.C.?) and also that the Bible was put together at Nicea in the 4th century, is it possible to be a Xian and reject all Paul and Leviticus' homophobia? Any speculation as to what Xian teaching would've been like if Paul hadn't sent so many damn letters?
