Honestly, I didn't put a lot of thought into which sub-category to post in. I thought any number of these sub-forums would be visited by helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable people who would be happy to answer questions. The forum title says "No creed but Christ". That in particular attracted...

No, I simply thought this would be a good forum to get an answer to my question. Forgive if I offended you with my ignorance.

I don't understand. I am curious about people who use the Bible-only in their religious practices. I've asked some of these questions directly, but I haven't gotten an answer that satisfies my curiosity. So, I thought this would be a good place to find knowledgeable people to ask. I also...

How do you even determine what is a Bible? What books belong in a Bible? Is Tobin a legitimate book of the Bible? Is the Gospel of Mary? The Gospel of Peter? How do you determine which translation to use? How about which translation not to use? Does King James' tinkering with certain verses...

I did not. Could you please resend?

This will be my first novel. I won't shop around for a publisher until it's been written. My previous writing experience consists of newspaper reporting and editing.

That's a good idea. I should go back to all the forums I've posted in once I have a major update to announce. Perhaps when I'm ready to recruit beta readers?

Believe me, I'm sorely tempted. I considered it as I was planning the book, but the need came to refine my list of characters. Currently, there are more than 30 characters who represent eight different religious or philosophical systems. It's very difficult for me to justify adding a new...

Hello and thank you for your interest! This particular post is aimed at getting more information to help create specific characters. I am also reaching out to Baptists and Pentecostals on this site. Soon, I may reach out to Catholics, and maybe other Christians like Lutherans or Methodists. I...

Hello! I am doing research for a novel about the afterlife. I would like to include characters who are Christian. In order to create an accurate and respectful portrayal of Christianity, I would like to interview people who consider themselves non-denominational Christians, particularly those...

I am no longer a Christian and I don't believe in a God that answers prayers or interacts with our world. However, like you, I absolutely cannot deny the life-changing power religions have over the lives of people, often for the better. The change in peoples' lives are real. People swear off...

This is not an error. Evolution pertains to the origin of species, not the origin of life. That's like saying you can't drive a car without knowing how to manufacture one. Yes, a car needs to be manufactured before it can be driven, but being ignorant of the manufacturing process does not...

Are they LaVeyan Satanists or Theistic Luciferians?

Thanks. I'll look for that forum. I'm just trying to space out my postings so I don't get overwhelmed with responses.

You must've missed it. They're between Muslims and Zoroastrians.

Mormons, Catholics, Methodists, Calvinists, and non-denominational Evangelicals. I'm also looking for non-Christians such as Muslims, Jews, Zoroastrians, Witches (British Traditional), and atheists, but I'm pursuing those interviews through other avenues. Thanks for asking!

Sorry, it's a long thread. I'll try to review the discussion.

6 billion people later, I think we can say "mission accomplished" and go on to have our 2.1 kids to maintain the population or fewer to get to a sustainable level. God also gave us the parable of the Bags of Gold. The master cursed the servant who buried the gold and returned the exact amount...

Welcome! I am certain you will find no shortage of atheists willing to engage you in a healthy debate. :) I hope you enjoy your time here.
