    Your thoughts on other religions

    many Christians here in America will say that Christianity is the only true religion and any other is of the devil and 100 percent pure evil. they know this because here in the states we have giant mega million dollar church ministries with CC swipers in the lobby and ushers passing out sales...

    what turns you off from Christianity?

    What are the benefits of the trinity?

    our Lord is far from helpless in His believers. Jesus said by Him we can move mountains. i believe that literally.

    What are the benefits of the trinity?

    IMO we can have eternal life if we follow what Jesus taught. not what the church tells us He taught John 14 16 to me this means no one can know the Father (like Jesus) unless they follow Jesus and do as He did. im sure it had a big impact on the Jewish leaders, they were completely corrupt...

    What are the benefits of the trinity?

    i agree with you. all the miracles of Jesus, were not miracles if He was the Almighty. the relationship He had with His Father and wanted everyone else to have we cant because only the 3 beings in the trinity family have that. we cant follow and be like Jesus as the only ones that can are those...

    What are the benefits of the trinity?

    i know this is an old thread but wanted to revive it as i think its an important concept. there are trinitarians that teach you cant be a follower of Jesus, cant receive salvation, Jesus was sent to teach the trinity and all the rest. and yet after all that they never explain why its important...

    the bible canon

    1QS VIII 12-14 ( the community rule) 13. in Israel according to all these rules, they shall separate from the habitation of ungodly men and shall go into the wilderness to prepare the way of Him; 14. as it is written, prepare in the wilderness the way of . . . , make straight in the desert...

    the bible canon

    John the baptist quotes from the community rule, one of the scrolls sound among the dead sea scrolls. and by definition this scroll is an apocryphal book . so does this mean John was not a "true" follower of Jesus like the "true" Christians of today?

    Jesus is God.

    i never said our Lord is trying to hide His true name. do you think its proper to drag the true name of the Lord down to our level when you speak His name the same way you would use one of our names? think about that, dwell on it, climb a mountain and meditate on it.

    Jesus is God.

    people use titles because our Lord is not a person like us. His name in itself is holy. people respect the name by not using His name, would you really speak to the Lord the same way you would speak to your buddy u go fishing with.

    the bible canon

    i think its a mistake to think politics never played a part in these councils decisions. why would a "true" Christian reject an apocryphal book?

    Jesus birth and family

    i think there are many things about Isreal in the days of Jesus that people dont think about. the kingdom was occupied by rome, herod was a roman puppet and he had his own priesthood that would agree with him. so where were the rightful kings, nobility and priest? i think many of them formed...

    Jesus birth and family

    i agree He was a great teacher. He was also an heir to the throne yet His family lived so far from Jerusalem. also John the baptist was of the high priest line, descended from Zadoc. his father served in the temple but John did not follow his father, he goes off in the wilderness to the jordan...

    Jesus birth and family

    why was Jesus born at Bethlehem and raised in Nazareth? with the background of Joseph and Mary you would think He would have been born at Jerusalem, surrounded by Nobility. when the wise men came to town they went straight to the palace and king as if they were just assuming thats where Jesus...

    The Trinity is Wrong

    when i was reading about this i was looking for the earliest example of the trinity clearly spelled out. i remember reading about Athanasius being the first one but also remember reading that this was not clear until much later. i went through several sources so it might be a bit before i can...

    The Trinity is Wrong

    i was reading that his early writings seemed to suggest he was more henotheist or duelist, Father and Son but no Holy Spirit. it would be years later when he added the Holy Spirit. and yes arius flipped a lot to.

    the bible canon

    Tobit is a book in your bible that is not in mine. you have a council saying the book is ok and where i am at there is a council saying this book is not ok. do these councils not think the Lord can lead us to accept or not accept such books, is this beyond our Lords abilities? Jesus told us to...
