    One Year in Your Religion

    I majored in anthropology too but I don't think it's possible for you to walk in my religious shoes because I'm a Gnostic Christian. Gnostic Christians like myself walk the Solitary Path which means my spiritual path is not like yours or anyone else and your spiritual path will not be like mine...

    The Holy Name of God

    My Christian faith differs from traditional or Pauline Christianity radically in that I follow the teachings of Jesus and not those of Paul. To the world Christianity means Christians who believe that Jesus Christ died for their sins because human beings are fallen creatures needing salvation by...

    One Way: the reason why Christian ecumenicalism is impossible

    Brain studies done of Buddhist monks while meditating. The monks said the closer they they thought they were coming to samsara(?) or nirvana the greater their success in stopping electrical activity in their brains' sense of self centers. It seems when this is done correctly electrical activity...

    Why do Christians use the cross?

    Yup. Yeishu and I think his five disciples also were stoned to death as per Jewish law for blasphemy. No Romans involved which is one of the reasons Christians did not know know about the Talmud accounts. Given the immense hostility Christians threw at Jews through the centuries for supposedly...

    The question of Israel

    Get a grip, wil, I was poking fun at Jewish paranoia. And I have the right, being of Jewish descent. I have worked for well over a decade with a local tribe which is composed of the descendants of survivors of several tribes wiped out in their very real holocaust that happened in 1860 here when...

    One Way: the reason why Christian ecumenicalism is impossible

    We're talking about Buddhism here and now? I was there and then and missed the fun. Ok, my two bits as an intolerant ONE WAY Christian (who's girlfriend is a Jewish Buddhist..) These are the End Times for many religious paths including Buddhism. Science of the human brain has revealed the fatal...

    One Way: the reason why Christian ecumenicalism is impossible

    Sorry,wil, but I do not play with those who want to tilt the board and make the playing field quite uneven. You do. That's your prerogative but I'm not you and will post my beliefs as I hold them without interference from those who hold other views and that's my prerogative and I will accept the...

    The Holy Name of God

    It is the nature of Abraham monotheists to fight other belief systems wherever they encounter them. You see, the thing that neither "Moses" or Muhammad understood is that the human mind is incapable of comprehending one of anything without referencing the one thing to something else. This is the...

    Why do Christians use the cross?

    The above picture shows the typical Roman "low" Tau crucifixion cross. The Christian cross is derived from the cross of Mithra familiar to Constantin and his mother who were the ones who really established the Christian cross we associate with Christian believers. Earlier Christian worship sites...

    The question of Israel

    Sorry to pull your chain by using a German word most Americans know. Guess it's my German Jewish heritage showing through although you may think its my ties to my Aryan Nation inmates here helping me with the big words in the Protocols..

    One Way: the reason why Christian ecumenicalism is impossible

    And I accuse you of being a toady. If Brian cannot accept criticism of his forum then I think he needs to let it go to those who can. I started a forum once because I found so many of these internet forums are run by heavily biased individuals or groups but found I didn't have the money or...

    One Way: the reason why Christian ecumenicalism is impossible

    Thank you, Bandit, for confirming reality on this forum for me. The fact that you are still here gives me encouragement although at any time when logging in I expect Brian's ever-so "neutral" "You are banned. When will the ban be lifted. Never." My beef with this forum does not just stem from my...

    on non-belief

    We are in the "End Times" stage of many world religions as they fail to comprehend or provide meaning for living in the modern world. This is a natural environment for both new religious ideas to come forth and non-religion too, both avenues of human expression vying for being the dominant...

    The Holy Name of God

    Most Christians and Jews have no idea that Yahweh started off in life as the Canaanite sea and river god, Yamm, one of the sons of EL Elyon, God Most High. There is an ancient Canaanite text wherein EL renames Yamm, Yah or Yahwe. Even the Tanakh contains traces of this earlier identity of Yahweh...

    The End of Abraham

    I was first put onto the India/Abraham connection by reading archived articles posted on the Hindu website Sword of Truth. There Hindus pointed out the fact that pre-Muslim Mecca was an Arabic Vedic worship site and that Muhammad not only mistook "Abraham's" altar for a Brahma worship site but...

    One Way: the reason why Christian ecumenicalism is impossible

    "If this is your belief I have no issues with it. It isn't my belief, can you tolerate my belief that the Christian way is not the only way? After all would that not be the golden rule?" --Yes, of course I can tolerate other religious paths being expressed. That's why I posted this topic in...

    One Way: the reason why Christian ecumenicalism is impossible

    In our times traditional Christianity has lost its former intolerance of other paths to God which many non-Christians think is a good thing given the historical record of traditional Christians in action. But is this new stance true to the teachings of Jesus Christ? I think not. Jesus Christ was...

    Was Jesus a Gnostic ?

    Jesus was filled with gnosis, knowledge of God, but did not seem to subscribe to classical Gnostic doctrines such as the blind Demiurge or the angelic emanations as even the Gospel of Thomas shows. A prophet without gnosis of God has nothing to offer so knowledge of God is an essential part of...
