    The Gospels Codex from 78 AD - where is it?

    In the early 1700's a librarian from the Vatican discovered an ancient codex containing the 4 Gospels of the New Testament written in Aramaic. On its last page the scribe made a note that it had been completed on December 18th, 78 AD. This information was forgotten until around 1889 when a...

    Get rid of 39 books of OT - or accept all as scripture - the Word of God for the saints?

    "Jesus loves me this I know - for the Bible tells me so" - Some would argue we need to dump 39 books of the bible - since the rise of the NONES (those that walk away from religion) has risen to 20-29% in America these days - maybe we should should not tether Christianity to the Bible so...

    Legal Ordinances, Old/Physical, New/Spiritual

    Eph 2:15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; (MY NOTE: The enmity is two fold [required punishments/judgments/levied] & the recognized status/standing separating Jew &...

    How can I overcome these crazy doubts about Christianity?

    Please don't get mad or laugh at me because this is serious and I feel like garbage about this. So in my religion, it's said that Jesus is the good guy and God is the good person as well. However, I started having doubts that Jesus is who he says he is. I started having doubts that Jesus is the...

    Not under law: Not under its condemnation or its commands?

    Hello! Various passages of Scripture suggest we're not under the law, which I understand to be the law of Moses. Do these passages suggest that its commands are no longer binding on us today? Acts of the Apostles 15 seems to be about circumcision and keeping the law of Moses in general (Acts of...

    The Sabbath: Universal law or Mosaic shadow?

    Hello everyone! I've been doing some study on whether the Sabbath (i.e., ceasing from work on the seventh day of the week, Saturday) was a universal law for all of mankind or a Mosaic commandment for the Jews. While some things are commanded in the Old Testament for Israel (and thus are not...

    Ephesians 2:14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; (NOTE: The Temple area had 4 courts: The Court of the Priests. The Court of Israel. The Court of the Women. The Court of the Gentiles. Only Levitical priests had access to...

    What happened to the original New Testament?

    That the Greek New Testament was manipulated is quite clear. It has been proven that the Septuagint contained the name of God and they were so respectful that they kept the name after the Hebrew language. So they did not "translate" a name, but left it as it was. But then, later on, people...

    Spotlight on Heresy

    Imagine a forum where those who are washed in the Blood of the Lamb, and who have God's Righteousness imputed to them, could celebrate together the Joy of Salvation, the Joy of the Lord, and find deep teaching for their spirit and rest for their soul. Imagine a forum where Grace rules in the...

    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...

    Knowing, believing, not believing?

    Does anyone feel they not only believe but they (know)? Know that it's all real and true, everything in the Bible and religion in general?

    Today’s Soft Marcionism (its Much Less Heretical But Much More Popular And Mainstream).

    Did's some Blogging on Marcionism a few years back. Post 1 Marcion of Sinope (AD 85- 160) was one of Christianity’s greatest heretics. He had a lot in common with the group of heretics that we know as “the Gnostics”, that you can probably classify him as one, even though there are fine...

    The Guy who started the discussion of the NT Canon

    Marcion of Sinope (/ˈmɑːrʃən, -ʃiən, -siən/; Greek: Μαρκίων[1][2] Σινώπης; c. 85 – c. 160) was an important figure in early Christianity. His theology rejected the deity described in the Hebrew Scriptures and in distinction affirmed the Father of Christ as the true God. The Church Fathers...

    Sabbath made FOR mankind Mark 2:27, All things made FOR Jesus Col 1, so Jesus is not the Sabbath

    Jesus is "LORD of the Sabbath" Mark 2:28 that is in the actual Bible but "Jesus is our Sabbath" is not. You cannot "remember Jesus to keep Jesus Holy" - Jesus is already Holy. Col 1:16 "all things were made BY Him and FOR Him" that is right mankind WAS MADE FOR Jesus and BY Jesus. By...

    Plato's Influence On The New Testament

    In Acts 17:24-28 Paul says: “The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else...
