This book is available for free at Smashwords, the film has been announced on IMDB. This is non-traditional theology which explains everything that has occurred, from the creation of Angels onward, including what caused the war in heaven. Synopsis Many would agree that the traditional...

Many Christians wrongly believe that agape love is divine love, when it is in fact brotherly love. Here is the definition from logos Bible software: 26 agape {ag-ah'-pay} from 25; TDNT - 1:21,5; n f AV - love 86, charity 27, dear 1, charitably+2596 1, feast of charity 1; 116 1) brotherly love...

This is mainly just for fun, not serious: Genesis 9:4-5 "But you must not eat meat that has its lifeblood still in it. 5 And for your lifeblood I will surely demand an accounting. I will demand an accounting from every animal. And from each man, too, I will demand an accounting for the life of...

OK, so the question is concerning the following verses: James 2:12-13, "Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom, 13 because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment!" (NIV) So, is the...

There is theology out there that believes "agape" love is the love of God, and is exclusive to God, in that only God can give this form of love. I have provided the definition of agape love below and see no basis for this belief, there is nothing in this definition that supports any proof-text...

Some Christians seem to see a special significance in the word used for the judgment seat of Christ in the following verse: 2 Corinthians 5:10, "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether...

Hi Folks!! Many people seem to view the sheep and the goats as a parable, and yet to me, it is clearly Christ describing his own actions, and his own judgment. He will return with the angels, He will sit on His throne, He will gather all the nations before him, He will separate the people, He...

So, here is the thing, there are many, many Christians who believe that we will be judged on the basis of whether, or not, we believe in the "NAME" of Christ. Now, I believe that the judgment of Christ will be based on whether, or not, we have fulfilled the law of Christ, because those who have...

I have noticed that some people seem to think that the sacrifice of Christ was a "limited atonment". Others seem to believe that the sacrifice of Christ is only applied to people once they believe, or get saved. However, it seems quite clear through what is stated in scripture that neither of...

1 Timothy 1:8-11, "We know that the law is good if one uses it properly. 9 We also know that law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious; for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, 10 for adulterers and...

James 2:12-13, "Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom, because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment!" (NIV) So many conservative Christians believe that people will be judged on the...

This was posted in the Liberal Churches Forum which now has a new name, but I am not allowed to debate in that forum so I have moved it over here, where we can debate. I did so because I like what he is saying. I disagree with the conclusion that the Gospel of John puts words in Christs...

As we seem to have lost the other thread, I thought that I would try this again. Genesis 4:13-17, "Cain said to the LORD, "My punishment is more than I can bear. 14 Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from your presence; I will be a restless wanderer on the earth...

A friend of mine wrote this. I don't have time to go over it now, but I thought some of you might. It's too long for one post so see part A & B. EVOLUTION ASSESSMENT Evolution is called a science, yet many refute this claim, saying evolution has no true scientific foundations whatsoever...

What exactly is a liberal back-slider?? I would have thought that it's either a liberal Christian who's now a universalist, or who is now a conservative. I obviously have no clue. Or, is it a liberal who is questioning their beliefs?? I'm reading into this that they are back-sliden from...

OK, so what about the "law of Christ?" Is it just a part of the law of Moses, or is it an independant law, that being, the law of the new covenant?? I have been a Christian now for about 24 years, and in all that time, I have never heard a sermon on the "law of Christ." Not one, and I'm asking...

In Luke 15:7 Christ states, "I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who do not need to repent." Who are the people who do not need to repent?? :confused: Also, in the "prodigal son", did the...

Hey Gang!! :D I am just wondering if anyone has any info on "ELS" or bible codes?? Is it for real or a hoax? I see both arguements surfing around. Haven't ever looked into it myself. :confused:

Hi Everyone! :wave: I have been posting here for a couple of weeks and I like the people here. About 7 years ago I wrote a book called Beyond Religion which is a theology 100% based on the "law of Christ." It is available for free as an e-book, and if any of you are interested, I would like...
