Do any of you still believe that the sins of the world were transferred to the body of Christ on the cross and were crucified and judged through death, being buried and put away so that sin could not be imputed? Hopefully, you still have the faith to believe in Jesus Christ and Him crucified and that you have been purged from your sin, but can you tell me why you believe in the cross and what evidence you have for your belief? How can you have forsaken so much sound doctrine and yet still believe in the cross? How can the cross mean anything to you other than it being a simply token, like it is to so many professing Christians?

You appreciate the sacrifice but do you identify with Christ dying for you and AS YOU on that cross? Have you been raised with Him and made to sit together with Him in heavenly places or do you live in the natural mind of Adam trying desperately to arrive at the truth of the scriptures which is the job of the Holy Spirit through being taught the word under the anointing of a pastor-teacher that God has raised up for the church. The anointing is simply the Holy Spirit doing the teaching in the life of the believer that has been raised up. That raising up is God's choice and not yours or mine. Some of you have begun to go backwards and have become so contrived being removed from the simplicity of the doctrine and understanding of the faith that is in Christ.

I use to believe

1)

Then I realized

1)

So, I have concluded:

'b' through 'z' is relative to each person's deliverance into salvation. But that 'a' is having a foundation on Christ. Because without that, there is no other points to be made, except that we need to be 'bz' in Christ.
Reworded for clarity:

'b' through 'z' is relative to each person's deliverance into salvation. But that 'a' is having Christ as our foundation. Because without that, there is no other points to be made, except that we need to be 'bz' in Christ

I no longer believe the new and improved revisions of lasts year's edition of the diluted paraphrased versions of somebody's critical opinions regarding the KJV are actually bibles.

I no longer believe words carry their intended meaning such as
education
justice
moral character
ethical value
loyalty
prayer
missionary
adultery
Christian
heaven
hell
damnation
sin
fornication
marriage
obedience
dignity
chastity
sanctification
holy
liberty
freedom
vulgarity
porno
alcohol consumption
drugs
husband
housewife
illegal alien
"We the people of the United States"
Federal Government
entertainment... LOL. :D

OP, I have also made those same decisions. With the following tweaks:

I do believe the temple will be rebuilt, meaning, our individual and collective body is the temple.

And the last three, don't matter to me either way. Except that it would be awful hard to jump from a monkey to a spirit-conscious man with evolution.

With the way this thread is going, it would be more accurate to subtitle this thread...

The faith that I have departed from...

Things i was taught as a child that as an adult I no longer believe. (Because the bible does not support these):

That all divorce is a sin
That not attending church is a sin
That there will be no rapture
That there will be no tribulation

the greek word for the tree of shame is a stake or a pole not a cross so the cross is a graven image of man.
the rapture is a lie base on a vision of a 15 yr old girl.
hell as taught by the chruch

Or, possibly:

Greater faith obtained through a better knowledge of the truth...

That a monogamous relationship is the most beneficial type of romantic relations.
That two parents is the best family structure.
That there are multiple dimensions that my mind can travel between.
That I can trust all of the sensations of pain that I feel are representing the stimuli on that part of my body.
That sleep paralysis is caused by ghosts.
Free market capitalism being the best economic system in all situations.
Providing food for everyone in the world should be the #1 priority.

Neither do I, because there is no faith in it to believe.

These are things that I was taught during my early years - and have since determined to be NOT biblical.

Things I no longer believe:


"Jesus 'comes back' to 'rapture the saints' - but, because His feet do not touch the ground - it doesn't count as His Second Coming."
All I can say is, you might want to consider getting another Bible. Because most of the issues you
claim is not biblical to you, stands out like a neon sign to me, in my Bibles. Now, one issue I would like
to comment on, is the one above about Jesus coming back to rapture people. In all honesty, He
doesn't have to move at all, to accomplish it. He didn't go into the tomb to raise Lazarus, He stood
outside and called to a dead man. And the dead man heard Jesus and came out. It even speaks of
Jesus returning with His saints. Angels aren't saints. And He can't bring them with Him, if He
doesn't have them there with Him.

So, here is the question. Since all saved people are saved in Jesus, and all saved people have the
Holy Spirit in them, what happens to the Holy Spirit, when the person dies? And keep in mind, Jesus
said He would never leave the saved person or forsake them.

What do you believe concerning the blood of Christ and has that change in any way? Do you believe that the blood of Christ has purged you from sin when you believe upon Christ or has that changed as well?

I no longer believe in the false doctrine of the trinity, christmas, easter, pre-trib rapture and especially that the 10 commandments of God were nailed to the cross along with the hand written ordinances that were contrary to God. I no longer believe that Sunday worship has replaced the Sabbath of the bible. I don't believe in everlasting never ending punishment in literal fire or that hell is a place where Satan reigns forever. I no longer believe that meeting Christ in the air requires going anywhere until the end of the 1000 year reign of Christ right here on earth.

OOPS - Why did I put those on my list?

~ The Gap theory.

~ The Big Bang theory.

~ The Evolution theory.
Actually, I never did believe in any of these; however, I was most definitely "exposed to it" - "in my face" - in school - when I was growing up...

I no longer believe Jesus was a human like us. I think he was God in flesh.

These are things that I was taught during my early years - and have since determined to be NOT biblical.

Things I no longer believe:

~ Pre-Tribulation Rapture

~ The Rapture occurs in secret.

~ There will be a Second Coming and a Third Coming.

Although it was never actually said this way, this is essentially what it meant. What was actually said was along the lines of:

"Jesus 'comes back' to 'rapture the saints' - but, because His feet do not touch the ground - it doesn't count as His Second Coming."

("This has to be the most ridiculously absurd thing that I have ever heard in my entire life.")

~ The '70th Week of Daniel' is "separated" from the other 69 weeks.

~ The '70th Week of Daniel' represents a 7-year Tribulation Period.

~ There will be two Judgments - One for the Saved, and One for the Lost.

~ There will be a wedding, a supper, and a judgment in heaven during the 7-year Tribulation Period.

~ Any passage of scripture making reference to a fig tree is somehow related to Israel.

~ The temple will be rebuilt.

~ The Gap theory.

~ The Big Bang theory.

~ The Evolution theory.



I don't believe any of those things either. :cool:
