;) thanks parousia70 I briefly checked-out your reference and will go back and read more. A few of the Scriptures listed; recalled to my mind that the Apostles seemed to enter in to the Kingdom. They worked many miracles, including raising the dead. And whos to say that any of them...

:clap: Good Thread !!! Can I ask for a simple outline on preterism? I think I feel the way you do but, haven't done any study on it. I never fell for the "rapture" doctrine because an easy way out just goes against the doctrines of Jesus. I would count it all joy to be a tribulation...

If any of you have an interest...I've found something else. from THE APOCALYPSE OF ADAM The revelation which Adam taught his son Seth in the seven hundredth year, saying, Listen to my words, my son Seth. When god had created me out of the earth along with Eve your mother, I went about...

I chose my name because I wanted to reveal a little of my heart. My real name is Gina Marie. I chose Marie as a Confirmation name (Catholic Ceremony at age 12). I changed my last name to Marie 10 years ago when I was planning to use it to copywrite songs. Peace to You All :wave...

I know that Apocryphal Writings are not widely accepted but, here is a few paragraphs that seem to give answers to your discussion ;) from The Hypostasis of the Archons The Rulers (of darkness) laid plans and said, "Come, let us create a man that will be soil from the earth." They...

Hello Everyone :wave: I have been meaning to start a thread on The Garden and the Tree of Knowledge. Here is a twist on the familiar story. If there was a Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil; we know that Evil existed before man. Man did NOT bring evil into the world. I have been...

Yes! I've noticed. And wildfires everywhere~~~ :D The earthquakes lately too. I think your intuition is right. I believe the powers in the heavens are being shaken. As a result, the earth quakes. I think that we truly ARE in The Last Days. :pink: truthseeker

:pray: I would like to conclude this thread with some food for thought... from Trimorphic Protennoia I am Protennoia, the Thought that dwells in the Light. I am the movement that dwells in the All, she in whom the All takes it's stand, the first-born among those who came to be, she who...

Gosh 22.3 you've really done your homework! I have read all of the writings of Tertullian that I can find. I have enjoyed them and after reading them I feel that he had much understanding concerning some of the mysteries contained in these unaccepted writings. I really do appreciate your...

:) Hello 22.3 Flavius is the first name of Josephus. His works are massive and I do plan to read them sometime. The other books I mentioned are from the New Testament Apocrypha or the Old Testament Pseudepigrapha. Don't worry; you are most kind. I have not participated on forums much; and...

Psalms 22.3 >>> I do appreciate your concern; but please consider: if you are familiar with the works of Flavius, and believe what Finis said, then; why not try reading The Apocalypse of Paul, The Gospel of James, or The Letter of Peter to Philip and then judge it for yourself. I think you...

Greetings and Peace to You I understand your views Andrew and GreenEyedLady...I knew that a thread like this wouldn't be for everyone. I truly do not wish to enter into any kind of debate; rather to study and discuss. I have done alot of reading; and there is no doubt in my heart that I...

Dear AngelAmidala; By all means you should do so. The Spirit will guide you. Although, I must admit some of what I mentioned above is included in other writings, such as; The Testament of Abraham which is not included in the Old Testament Apocrypha. I have found that; if all the writings...

Welcome Mephibosheth :wave: I don't think you have to worry about feeling like you being controversial :D I think that the rule writers should be the ones to answer your question. I just wanted to welcome you. When your posting; somehow you forget there's alot of people out there...

Apocrypha is Greek for: hidden;secret It is a collection of 14 books, included both in the Catholic and Jewish Bibles. My understanding was that the Catholics don't teach from it because it is considered Old Testament; and the Jews don't teach from it because it was translated Greek...
