This is essentially a question about the historical Jesus.
I find that I'm quite fascinated by the figure of Jesus. I adored him when I was Christian, and I still have a lingering affection for him to this day. Jesus was a groovy fellow, and in general I dig him a lot.
Still it's come to my...
The term "Devil" is an abrahamic corruption of "Devi" from the east, which originally has a more respectable meaning. Devi represents the Life Force (Serpentine Energy) which is what animates all living, forming the light of the soul.

In 325A.D. The Council of Nicea gathered together to discuss matters of religious disputes in Christendom. It was a committee of 318 religious leaders whose mission was to decide what was sound teaching. It was up to these 318 individuals to decide which scripture made it into the biblical...
Don't these quotes from Jesus prove that he was a liar?
1) And Jesus answered and said to them, “Truly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, `Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ it will happen...
Now, what is your perspective on Jesus adherence, if it is not Christianity: does it have to be Christianity? If it has to be Christianity, then why?
Many arguments seem contextual /inter-Christian, where, Christians are stating that although you don't have to be a Christian, if you are a...
Hello. First of all, sorry for incorrect spelling and language errors.
I solved the big question, history needs to be rewritten, bibles needs to be burned and remade.
This is it. Maria Magdalena is Jesus.
Jesus was not the man we all think he was, son of god etc. He was a paid actor. A...
Assuming that Jesus was a real man, is it possible to give a real world interpretation to his life and philosophy?
Central to that philosophy is saving us from sin.
What is meant by the term “sin”? Leaving aside any examples which require reference to God, let’s look at gluttony as an example...
Do Muslims believe Jesus to have originally been a law bearing prophet?
I was wondering how widespread belief in Jesus as an originally law bearing prophet is amongst people who nominally adhere to Islam is

Here is what happens when scientists study religious books....
Basically they took the description of crucification in Bible (eclipse and earthquake) and found the date when those events were describes in other sources.
I have heard that any Christian who hears the Truth/Message/Signs of islam but denies it is punished by Allah! Content ive read that may be connected to this are how Islam means submission, Allah is the only god, Jesus wasnt son of god, god himself nor crucified and the context of violent...
Is your Jesus big enough for a universe to be made for Him?
Colossians 1:16
For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.
While reading the Bible, I noticed hints of Socialism in the New Testament and even the Old Testament. Jesus says 'Feed the Hungry, Clothe the Naked, Shelter the Homeless'. In Luke 3:11, it says "And he answered them, “Whoever has two tunics is to share with him who has none, and whoever has...
In
Hebrews 1:10
We encounter the 'father', calling the 'son', /Jesus,, the creator of heavens and earth. Now, we know that the 'creator', in Genesis, is usually thought to be the one God, /the Godhood. If you do not believe that Jesus is God, then how do you square this direct inference?
In Hebrews 8:8-9 ,
one notices the reference to God, who brought the Israelites out of Egypt. The 'title', used for Deity, is the same title, which is used for Jesus, that many claim to be a differential, between the 'father', and the son.
Any explanations for this? Refutations?
Thanks.
Back in January I had shared an ebook under Resources that explained how God requires abstinence from meat, but I haven't gotten feedback from any Christians. The book is called The Abomination of Desolation and contains much evidence from the Bible to prove it's thesis. I am curious to know the...
