I used to endure all sorts of guilt and shouting from the pulpit until I realized that the very words of God and Jesus were at times being defied. Emotionally I left Christianity and started searching. I still loved God and Jesus but to me the Church had lost it. I briefly looked at Judaism and...

Not that my memory is perfect, I think I remember the Covid vaccines being said to make genetic changes to our cells. I do not know if the same was true of other vaccines? Perhaps it was but we did not know it? I write Science Fiction and I think this whole scenario is fertile ground for a good...

Perhaps the Covid vaccines were a mistake? Was the Polio vaccine a mistake also? Who knows?

Where do you live? Is someone shooting at you?

Where does the "true and pure Gospel of God" come from? I think that the KJV of the Bible is the best, despite knowing that it is full of what many would consider errors. I think that the books after the 4 Gospels probably have the most repulsive doctrine. AND, there seems to be so much chaos...

America was still very young, and then they had the war of 1812, Napoleon was seeking power... I am not well read on that period of history. Sorry.

This is just my opinion here. The "Mormon" side of this is that Joseph Smith as a late teen tried several churches and found them lacking. Remember that in those days printed Bibles were rather scarce and apparently lots of folk were translating the ones available into something that suited them...

I made a mistake. I always get my Centuries wrong. I think it was 1800-1825 ? Is that the 19th Century? I am told that is partially why Mormonism got started.

I have heard the early 20th Century referred to as the Burned Out Period.

I was Evangelical for 33 years and found parts of it quite troubling. It got worse the more I studied the Bible. One person even told me to stop reading the Bible and I would be less troubled. Turning to secular counseling was a huge mistake and I trusted them enough to take the drugs they...

From my studies of the Bible it seems that this hostility is pre-ordained, though it makes little sense to me. From what the Quran and Muslims taught me, early Muslims were exposed to both Jews and Christians on the peninsula. These days I just try to mind my own business and worship God (Allah...

According to Wiki, there are 45,000 denominations in the world. You are better off to study faithfully and make your own decision.

I don't live near a Theological School. I'm concerned that Portland State College wouldn't be up to the task. I'm doing a word search for Ancient Near East Manuscripts and I find a few books on the subject. Cambridge may have some course work on that. I will read and do my best.

Missouri. We don't need to talk any more.

I don't feel confused. Where are you from?

So far I read only the KJV but I have studied others. The KJV may be flawed but I know many of the places where argument happens. I have "The Books of Enoch" but have not started to read it yet. I am not always sure how much of the OT the Jews accept. And, it seems that there are lots of...

What I say is simply my own opinion and I make no claim to being an expert of any sort. If I had long enough to live, I would want to become an Archeologist, especially of ancient pre Judaistic religions. Some Academics believe the Garden of Eden to lie in Southern Iraq..

Interesting. Where are you from? How does an American speak?

I am from NW Oregon, USA. My Family was not religious. The American Christians are nothing special.

It is discouraging that so many see hard times as chastising. Many others see hard times as God teaching us lessons. Christians should see that, and in Islam it is more explicitly stated. In my opinion, creationism and evolution are knit together. As Creation matures, and various creatures time...
