Traditions of Men
Church Traditions can be wrong. If you read it carefully, the Bible does not actually say that only Christians will have eternal life in Heaven. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Jesus is the only way to…

An Understanding of Love
Where religion gets it wrong is the idea that God created the world for the purpose of Judgment. God judges the world, but that doesn’t mean the reason for creation was to see which humans can pass a test. The God of the Bible transcends time. God has a perfect understanding of all people and…

Guided by the Holy Spirit
The Trinity and substitution atonement were both developed long after Christ died. Jesus never fully explained His relationship to God, or “how” He redeems people through His death on the cross. Is there a three-in-one God in Heaven? Does God transfer responsibility for sin from one person to another as substitution atonement claims? It seems…

The Revelation
God intentionally created a world of good and evil, so He go with us on our life’s journey. He did this to experience sorrow, loneliness and many other emotions through us. God feels what we feel.

The Problem of Suffering
When I was young, I feared that the effect creation has on God would dissipate over time. God might have to create the world all over again sometime in the future. I came to realize that the effect of creation on God will never dissipate because God transcends time. Time is a feature of creation,…

The Death of Lazarus
John 11:33-38 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled, And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see. Jesus wept. Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him! And some of them…

The Mystery of the Bible
There are many different Christian theologies, and the loyal followers will always ignore or redefine uncooperative Biblical passages. They are so effectively in their own mind that they lose their ability to notice that there are contradictions in the Bible. After centuries of argument and conflict over what the Bible really means yet even those…

Infinite Righteousness
We cannot comprehend infinity, but we can contemplate that God’s righteousness is infinite. God cannot tell a lie, and God does not hate anyone. But not hating anyone means a rejection of hatred, an infinite, total and complete rejection of hatred. Being infinite love and infinite non-hatred, God is repulsed by hatred and all evil.…
