In my new book [The Genesis Wheel ~ out 1st August] I argue that many of the so-called miracles and supernatural happenings in the Bible are not true accounts, but are there because of underlying gematria calculations the scribes were setting down. I write:
"From the burning bush to the...
What exactly is the problem?
We people are a small trinity too. We people consist of a body, a soul and a spirit. And yet we are not each 3 people but only one human.
Are there a soul and a spirit?
Yes.
The Bible mentions and differentiates spirit, soul and body.
1 Thessalonians 5:23
Now may...
Martin Luther once said:
"The Hebrew language is the very best and richest in words, and pure, does not beg, has its own color. [...] When I was younger, I wanted to learn this language, because without it, one can no longer properly understand the Scriptures. That's why they said rightly: The...

In the old scriptures of the Bible it says in John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Is the New World Translation a valid version of the Bible?
but in the "Bible" of the Jehovah's Witnesses it says
... and the Word was a God.
The...
In 1947 the Isaiah scroll was found in the Dead Sea, one found out that it was written in the 2nd century B.C. and therefore it is the oldest preserved manuscript of a whole book of the Bible. It was also found that the found Isaiah scroll is completely identical with the book of Isaiah in the...
I explain it with a comparison.
We humans are a trinity too. We humans consist of a body, a soul and a spirit. And yet we are not 3 humans but only one human. It is the same with God, he consists of a body, a soul and a spirit. And yet it is not three Gods but only one God. The body of God is...

Many Christians belittle non-Christians by telling "Christianity is the superior religion" (implying non-Christianity is inferior).
Maybe I am wrong, and it's not many Christians behaving like this. The poll might remove unclarities on this matter.
Maybe it's not just Christians who belittle...
Definition: "Reincarnation, a major tenet of Hinduism, is when the soul, which is seen as eternal and part of a spiritual realm, returns to the physical realm in a new body. The belief is that a soul will complete this cycle many times - even hundreds of times, learning new things each time and...
I'm running a fun survey to test machine learning on the Old Testament. It's ten random verses and you have to decide if each one is more likely to be real, or more likely to be fake, meaning, generated by a computer that has learned from the original text. The survey is anonymous and fun...
Romans 8:28-9:33 is often considered the strongest text of Calvinism, the view that God chooses some for salvation without free will being a factor. Basically, it's the view that no one can choose to follow God unless He predestines you to change. Near the end of the passage, Paul writes, "Does...
It reveals that early Christianity was far different from what we see today. Something Christians don't like to talk about and would rather pretend it's not there as with other ancient gospels that were rejected because it would change the nature of Christianity and Christian belief...
Hello! This is my first thread on the site. Many say that the strongest evidence for Calvinism from the Bible is Romans 8:28 through 9:24. Having studied the passage from multiple sides, I'm not sure Calvinism is actually taught here. While 8:29-30 mentions that there are people God foreknew and...
.... then what exactly did the medieval Catholic Church have , and how in the world did they get the Bible if nobody hadn't discovered the Bible yet?
Also why isn't the first discovery of the Bible attributed to the Catholic Church but instead later on in the 1940s when the Dead Sea Scrolls...

Christian-eze: terms used within certain circles of Christians that are hard to understand or just very loaded with Christian-specific meanings.
I am doing an experiment to see how capable I am of communicating my story without Christian-eze. Please review, and let me know if any terms were...
I read the Quran, Gospel, Tora and i am reading the Avesta, and doing research about the Vedas. In the Quran there is are verses about science which i wonder how they could be written 1400 years ago. These verses are being proved to be true in just the last 200 years.
For example, a prophecy...
I am an Arab, and i try to uphold the Tora and the Gospel as well besides the Quran. I believe in Yehovah the Father being the one and only God and that there is no deity besides Hes.
What about the majority of Messianic Christians? Do they believe that Yehovah is the one and only God? Or do...
Christianity derive from Judaism. Islam derive from Christianity and Judaism. These 3 religion got the same god and is the only 3 religion that believe there is only one god. The 3 religions believe its god is one and only true god and believe their god is always right and all other gods are...
