Resisting anger with you, I refer you to God for judgment of others. Pull up your pants and be judged by Him. If you intend to judge me, you will have to get in line because my sins are many. I have not advocated for the Mormons. I only said that I spent time with them. I said I am non...

Being near 75 years old I'm not a spring chicken either. I resist being seen as enfeebled however. I use the KJV, not because it is the best, but because I know where lots of the questionable content lies. I think that lots of Scripture means just what it says and tire of listening to Pastors...

I favor the Islamic philosophy on suffering, having spent time in an American 'feel good' Evangelical Church. They feel that most suffering is for the purpose of teaching, and after many years, some quite painful, I agree. I'm getting closer to 75 years old and the world has changed so much...

After almost two years of isolation due to Covid, it feels comfortable being an introvert. INFP for those interested.

I'm not a Denominational Christian, I don't rely on Pastors to teach me. I do my own Bible study and prayer. I respect your right to your own beliefs, but I do not fit in your little box.

Briefly; early Mormons were taught that Jews fled Jerusalem around 400 BC and somehow got to the Americas by boat. For me, there are lots of holes in their subsequent story. The Book of Mormon is supposed to be the story of those immigrants. Somehow in the middle 1800s they instituted polygamy...

Just my opinion, the lack of unity in the denominations is what has driven my desire to study hard and to know God more. The whole disagreement about Trinitarianism seems ludicrous to me. I wonder if they would stone each other to death? I was involved in Mormonism for several years, mainly...

It was really disillusioning to learn of the causation of the Sunni/Shia rift. In Islam I hoped that I had found the solution to the unkindness of the Christians I knew. As to the various views on Jesus the Christ, son or not, I will follow him when he comes. These days intensive study and...

I don't agree.

Just stating my opinion. Hardly passing judgement however.

How so? It was not intended.

Speaking as an unaffiliated Biblical Academic who has not been in a church for over a year, any study of Scripture is self motivated or driven by God. Daniel 10:13 is fascinating to me. Some Scholars theorize that the Garden of Eden was either in Southern Iraq or South in the Persian Gulf. I'm...

You could try a bit of charity. What right do we have to be harsh with one another?

Not going into great detail. I was devout for over 30 years. When I had a breakdown, they were quick to condemn. That's been 16 years and many of them have since apologized. It was very hard for me to forgive that, but if we are of Jesus the Christ, we must.

Just know that not everyone believes as you do. From Archeology, I suspicion that the visitors of the OT that Abram and others encountered could have been Angels, not God (S).

It normally takes years to develop a dependable Vaccine. In the case of Covid 19 we did not have the time to fool around. I can see where non-Medical folk might not get it and even refuse to cooperate, but in this case it is likely to be fatal. My people are from the South in my Grandma's...

Beats death.

Don't care to discuss my private reasons for not respecting the NT after the Gospels. I think that Paul mucked it up and the Catholic Church did more. Martin Luther straightened it out somewhat. That early Christians were burning each other at the stake invalidates it a lot. Then in the early...

I got the Pfizer Vaccine. I have COPD so felt it was necessary. Yes, I had lots of side effects for a year or more. STILL, it is better than dying of Covid.

Thank you both. I want to avoid too much criticism of present day denominations. It would be like the pot calling the kettle black. Lately, I have been thinking about the OT as if it is true, and it is making me wonder who it was that Abram encountered. Who did Enoch encounter and did he do...
