    Had enough

    Reading a cookbook from cover to cover one hundred times doesn't make one a chef. Reading the Bible from cover to cover one hundred times doesn't make one a Christian. But here words speak louder than spirit. And my spirit says leave. To my spiritual friends, and you know who you are, stand...

    A question for my Mormon friends

    I use the word friends, because I feel you are. First, I don't want a debate, as my curiosity is about the actions of Christ. It doesn't matter if others believe it happened or not, my only concern is on the beliefs of the historic Mormons. When I lived in Utah, I obtained the 3 books the...

    Being One

    John 17:22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: The gospels never have Jesus saying one mind. But the scoffers take "I and the Father are one" as being the same person. Paul explains that "one" is of one mind, not being the same...

    The gospel

    Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. If gospel means "good news" or "good tidings", what do you think Christ meant when he used this word "gospel"?

    Unorthodox area appology

    Removing myself from the forums for a few days. I appear to be offending and usually I can handle criticism in a more civil manner. Wife has been hospitalized for cardiac reasons (she has a couple of stints) and passed out a few days ago, so I'm a basket of nerves. I apologize to any and all...

    Jesus predicts Muhammad?

    Secret £14million Bible in which 'Jesus predicts coming of Prophet Muhammad' unearthed in Turkey | Mail Online I don't see the value. Barnabas has a non canonical writing dating to earlier than 400 that doesn't have these beliefs.

    Archons

    I found this short excerpt on Soulgazers site interesting. Pastor Robert Woods explanation of Archons. By Robert Wood I have withheld from talking about this topic due to the power that the rulers of this age have but it might be good to touch on them since they are relevant to the faith...

    Orthodox and Unorthodox

    I grew up in the Orthodox thought as a Nazarene (Church of). Since those many years as a Nazarene, I could not get a clear answer to many questions I had concerning life and spirituality. But I chose to take the brave (taboo?) step and seek out more than my limited Orthodox thought and...

    Does the Holy Ghost kill?

    In Acts 5, written by Luke, Ananias and his wife are supposedly killed (dropped dead before Peter) for lying. Even Peter lied when asked if he was a follower of Christ. I am trying to find where the Holy Spirit is used to kill a man or men. Thoughts?

    Why we argue

    After seeing Taste for Truths thread "On second thought" and Soulgazers "Goodbye my friends" I started thinking why that two of the strongest Unorthodox believers would abandon a forum designed to express their beliefs and explain to others how they obtain their belief systems. I found in this...

    What is the Disciple John saying?

    1 John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. Some think John is saying that we know when we receive it. Some think John is saying that it is...

    Were Mormons gnostic?

    Reading the BoM, I found this in 4 Nephi 1: 23 And now I, Mormon, would that ye should know that the people had multiplied, insomuch that they were spread upon all the face of the land, and that they had become exceedingly arich, because of their prosperity in Christ. 24 And now, in this...

    Is YOUR Bible accurate? Check it out.

    You can see a list here: What is the best New Testament? Colwell's Rule of Bible Translation. Ernest Cadman Colwell did a lot of deep study investigation into accuracy. You'll be surprised at which translations are at the top and bottom of the list. I use the Rotherham, Codex Sinaiticus, NWT...

    How old was Jesus..........

    ......when he was crucified? I heard 33, 3 years after he started teaching, somewhere. Irenaeus quotes scripture, which we reference as John 8:57, to suggest that Jesus ministers while in his 40's. In this passage, Jesus' opponents want to argue that Jesus has not seen Abraham, because Jesus...

    Marcion's Antithesis

    Out of the many contradictions between the Creator God and the Father of Jesus, I found these contradiction the most compelling. God of the OT I am the Lord, and there is none else; I form the light, and create darkness; I make peace, and create evil... Isaiah 45:6,7 God the Father of...

    A Vision?

    I don't know if this is a vision, as I am still merely seeking Gods will. But the vision has appeared twice now in a matter of a week. Strong, as though I need to share it. Hopefully, someone can tell me if it is, and what it means. I see a large tall mountain, shaped some what like a large...

    How do we benefit from the Hebrew Scriptures?

    Do they truly depict the same God Jesus taught was our Father? If Jesus said to preach the Gospel, why do we preach the Torah? Do we accept the Hebrew Scriptures simply because they were added to the Gospel for some unknown reason? What do the Hebrew Scriptures do to help us understand what...
