    Australian fires - Arson

    We didn't know the wildfires were so huge and devastating, they are being called 'apocalyptic' by the news. The signs of the times are being recognized it seems, even by them.

    Are Doctrines affected by Modern Versions

    And here is a good overview on the "these are the oldest thus best" idea: "The oldest representatives of the "purely" Alexandrian group of texts are the two "great" uncials, Sinaiticus and Vaticanus (Aleph and B, respectively). Both of these manuscripts date to the 4th century, with Vaticanus...

    Are Doctrines affected by Modern Versions

    And on the Gnosticism in these versions from the Dean Burgon site: "Gnosticism, in all of its varieties, was the most influential heresy faced by the early Church. Not only did the Gnostic corrupt many readings found in the New Testament, but offered their own writings as inspired scriptures...

    Are Doctrines affected by Modern Versions

    Read the ideas of Holt and Wescott and look at the Gnosticism that comes with the Alexandrian text they used. I have limited connection as traveling for a few weeks, so will post when I can.

    The False Doctrine of Purgatory

    I just talked to my neighbor who confirmed she was taught about Purgatory and then went on to say she also was taught about Limbo... It goes hand in hand with Purgatory. So lets look at the doctrine or belief of ‘Limbo’ which now the Catholic church is saying it never accepted, but still...

    Are Doctrines affected by Modern Versions

    Lets compare one verse, 1 John 4:3: NIV - but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world. RSV - and every spirit which does not confess Jesus is not of God. This is...

    The False Doctrine of Purgatory

    Well, looks like the Pope himself may have already seen the error of Purgatory...."Your Holiness, in our previous meeting you told me that our species will disappear in a certain moment and that God, still out of his creative force, will create new species. You have never spoken to me about the...

    Early Christians continued to pray and rest on the seventh day, and observe the Sabbath. But apostasy began to creep in the church, especially at Rome and by the 2nd century AD you start to find were some began to hold both, and soon a number of Christians affected by the spreading apostasy...

    The intermediate state of life after death

    Well lets go over a verse that many who advocate the soul is immortal use to point out the distinction between soul and body. Lets take a look at Matthew 10:28: Matthew 10:28 "And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy...

    The intermediate state of life after death

    Now lets go over the 'bosom of Abraham' as it was clearly a parable. Josephus left on record a “Discourse to the Greeks Concerning Hades,” which illuminates Jesus’ Dives and Lazarus story. Not only does it parallel Christ’s narration, showing that it was based on a current Jewish belief, but it...

    It doesn't matter what denomination we are, it is Gods truth which He gives us in His Word that we need to grasp and understand, not dogma or tradition. Here is more on Luther, which I didn't get a chance to include... "Archdeacon Blackburne's incisive summation of Luther's position was this...
