The person who wrote this claims to have seen UFOs. I know it's important to consult different translations and I am considering to learn Hellenistic Greek and Hebrew to learn what the original biblical texts say. But this person sounds a bit odd... Perhaps there is false prophecy in the...

To whom has it been given? There was a case in Swedish congregation(in a town called Knutby) where the pastor had manipulated a female member to kill his wife and another woman. He exploited her sexually and convinced her that this was necessary for him for some reason. He had for many years...

By whom and on what basis is Catholicism considered false? That's something I hadn't thought of. Why does this happen do you think? I think that many churches base their teaching so many texts outside the Bible that they confuse and subjectify the Bible. They distort the Bible to support...

I like the mental picture your explanation creates! :) You're an engineer too? Wow! You know the best engineer is God? :D

It's Christianity in practise! :)

Nothing.

They are all good warnings. I am alert to the possibility of false teaching and false prophecy, and even false faith. More than that I cannot say. :)

I've read many of the posts here and find all very interesting. Much of it is touching as well and it reminded me that I need to be humble. I am a Christian myself, of no denomination. I'm a loner, which I prefer to be. Except I have a Irish Catholic boyfriend whom I'm going to marry. My God...

path of one, wishful-thinking was a bad wording. But I cannot accept your reply as qualified because you speak of 1) ....not believing in the original sin... The original sin is named so in the Bible. Why not believe in it when it actually happened and because of it, Adam and Eve were thrown...

Thank yous to you all! Hey, Phyllis Sidhe_Uaine... That's a nice nickname! I take it you speak Irish? I'm going to study Irish next year. :)

Thanks to something wrong with this forum my whole reply to this was deleted. I can't really spend time recalling what I wrote. But I'd appreciate if people who reply with their suggestions base their points on actual biblical passages, not their own imagination or wishful-thinking. Mee...

I need to understand 1) ...what exactly is salvation? 2) ...what exactly does it mean that one is justified through faith? 3) ...what does it mean that those who believe are 'righteous'? 4) ...are faith and works inexplicably connected and inseparable, and is salvation received only by...

Hello! I've finally found a good forum where I can debate religious questions non-stop. I'm interested in almost everything. Theology, ancient languages, archaeology, astronomy, physics and general science, bioethics, and my faith in Jesus Christ. But really, I'd like to become a writer...
