If you follow the catholic orthodox, you will see what they see.If you explore all the Christian writings, you see both sides, then choose.
The chasm of early Christianity is quite plain. Paul showed it in his letter to the Galatians, the Incident at Antioch, and the letter of 1 John. Catholic...
If there were a trinity, it is father, mother, son. If John 1 says that Christ gave man the power to be sons of God, a son in the sense is of father and mother. Jesus taught man how to become Christs by being the first.
Orthodoxy (catholic) is just a view that was forced on man leading up to...
Keep up. I never said "soul". Animals have souls. The soul animates the flesh.
I said "spirit". The spirit is what makes man alive. John 6:63
Man received the "spirit" from the Tree of Knowledge in the Eden myth.
God one gave flesh and soul. True God gave spirit to know him (which is...
Paraclete is Greek. Jesus spoke Aramaic. Broken from Hebrew where rauch is the feminine of spirit. Jesus exclaimed that his mother is the Holy Spirit when told that his "mother and brethren" wait to see him. Luke also verifies the Holy Spirit as mother when he describes Jesus birth as the Holy...
John wasn't the author, but the authors were taught of John. So yes.
24 This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.
25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every...
Actually, I was referring to the "fire" man has been using for a million years. If he's been around a million years, he sure was slow to adapt.
Never mind. Nothing to see here.
I guesss I believe it. My big question is that if man has been here 16,000 years, and his natural sexual desires procreate at any average of 2-6, then why did it only take man the last 200 years to populate the entire planet into the billions?
16,000 years seems like plenty of time to advance...
A greater in wisdom was Christ (than any OT scripture).
Luke and Matthew:
30 For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.
31 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came...
The Gospel was never about following any man, but to learn to follow the Spirit as Christ. I would never follow Clement, Ignatius, Tertullian, or even Peter or Paul. Especially no one of a priesthood. It is the Spirit that leads as Jesus Christ said it would.
The Christian scriptures speak the...
Funny that John, Luke and Paul along with all non Canon Gospels doesn't teach such. Jesus said not to trust the scribes, that reproduce the Word (Gospel message) adding and taking away from it to satisfy their own. Most Gospel messages teach of Peters problems and weakness, including Galatians 2...
What you are seeing is the ways of the early catholic orthodox movement of the first century. Paul wrote the whole of Galatians of the "false Gospel" where the Jews (Pharisee's) tried to combine the Gospel with the OT structure (making priests celestial authority over man).
When Jesus died, the...
They wanted religion to flourish freely in my view. Doubt they would have objected to a Christmas tree in the halls of liberty.
I don't see them wound as tight as todays Congress. Congressmen touting that the new judge elect to the supreme court will cost millions of lives has lost connection...
