    Scripture vs. History

    So, here is my next question in the line of "questioning my Protestant heritage". Hopefully a slightly more focused question than before? In my other thread, there has been a lot of talk about the Church Fathers, especially about accepting them as infallible authority ... Well I never said that...

    History Of The Trinity 2 (two Powers In Heaven)

    On the subject of the Trinity this is the new thing I learned thanks to Michael Heiser. I bought this book a few months ago but haven't got around to reading it yet (was out of print at the time and paid $40 for it used). This was a rabbinic theory and in reading Christian History it seems...

    History Of The Trinity 1 (elohim)

    I'm re-posting some Facebook Blogging I did on the Theological Development of the Trinity. Since then, I've learned some cool new stuff which I will add into the presentation so stay tuned. Elohim (another name for God in the OT) For Trinitarians like myself this name is the first hint of...

    Question on Simony or some related practice

    NB: I'm posting this here because I think it may lead to debate. I don't necessarily want one. In another thread that is now locked, a user who is a guest to the EO forum basically accused the EO Church of trading canonical recognition of breakaway EO bodies for 'donation' money. I don't...

    What did Babylonian Mystery Religion look like during Jesus' time on earth?

    What did the Babylonian Mystery Religion look like during Jesus' time? There are claims that this religion has led to the corruption of the faith, for example, Catholicism. This all came from the tower of Babel and mystery school. I just would like backing to know if this is biblical and if so...

    The Good Ole Days

    Would like to hear stories of things you did when you were young. Like things that people don't do anymore. It's amazing how time flies and things of the past just fade away and are replaced with the new. I will start off. When I was young, on my grandpa's farm in central Missouri, there was...

    Do Modern Christians undervalue Christian History?

    I was asked a friend if she knew about the Council of Nicea and the Nicene Creed and she had no idea what was that about. Have churches underestimated the Church Fathers and important events in Christianity?

    Intertextuality between John and Thomas

    Is anybody interested in the theory that John's Gospel was written in part to challenge early Christians who were using the Gospel of Thomas? (Note: This hypothesis would not necessarily mean that John's Gospel is inaccurate, or that Thomas' is accurate). The evidence breaks down into two...

    Alexander Hislop

    There is something that is bothering me. I have noticed on several occasions that well-meaning christian brothers and sisters have cited a dubious work (or a derivative) from Alexander Hislop's book called The Two Babylons . . . . The work as best I can tell (I have not read the entire book...

    Abortion and the Clergy Consultation Service

    This is my first post to the forum - hopefully it’s in the right place. Recently me and my wife were listening to an episode of the ‘Criminal’ podcast which covered the Clergy Consultation Service - a secret network of ministers, rabbis and nuns, possibly as many as 1400 individuals across the...

    The Great Evil of Abortion

    Hi. I would like to preface this by saying that I am a pro-life Catholic, and I always have been. I want to discuss the evil of abortion. I notice that many pro-lifers get hung up arguing about the evil of murdering babies, whether or not a fetus is a human, etc., and they fail to see the...
