My PhD was from Cambridge University. My goals here are to provide free, quality explorations of history, philosophy, art, and even subjects I find interesting.
I don't take myself too seriously, though I always try to take each subject seriously. I also do not expect everyone to agree with me on everything. That is the fun of history: a lot to argue over!
They like to believe everyone before the enlightenment was a mindless theocrat, and we are now massively more advanced, most folks even now don't really understand physics or astronomy, and the establishment still targets mavericks of all kinds, sometimes imprisons them, not much has changed really
Halloween and November 1st The Day of the Dead is in remembrance of the great flood. When else in history has so many people perished at one time in one event? It is now something far different. Blessings to you
Great. Intuitively, it is a more satisfying explanation that the schism had a far stronger casual relationship with disputes over who had a say e.g. the pope than with theological disagreements themselves.
As a firmly rooted Christian who is offended by Flat Earth/Young Earth headcases labeling anyone a heretic who doesn't believe that lay people relying on a painfully narrow "literal" asynchronous misinterpretation of the KJV 1611 as the end-aĺl-and-be-all of Canon, I can say, "I am not surprised by any of this." Flat Earth, Reformed Theology, Azusa Street Revival, etc ... There seems to be a frustrated, motivated outcast with no formal tutelage or accountability as the spearhead of all of these dubious ideas.
I believe that "the flat earth 'theory'" is a psyop to make all other conspiracies look deranged. There is no way people quote KJV as if it was the original text.
Matthew 24:4 KJV: And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. Some (I said SOME) Pentecostalism teachers past & present were and still are false teachers.
Narcissistic fornicators who highlight others shortcomings, while hiding their own SIN. I've heard some horrendous advice given by pastors to victims of sexual abuse. Not recommended.......
This is pretty even judgement as a charismatic. I do think you missed that there is prescriptive passage of prophecy in Acts in Peter saying in the last days… and also in 1 Corinthians and throughout Paul’s letters say we should prophecy and and speak tongues. 1 Corinthians shows us there are different gifts “wisdom, knowledge, faith, healing, miracles, prophecy, discerning of spirits, speaking in tongues, and interpretation of tongues. “
It's hilarious when you meet someone who says that the earth is flat,I definitely know it's round,when you're on a island,you can see it on the horizon,the planet is round 🤣
The Puritans and the Church of England were embroiled in conflict…so KJ called together a conference to work out a solution. A common Bible was suggested.
"15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 15:2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:" 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. "1:5 To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. 1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 1:7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed." Galatians 1:5-9. "2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:8-9. "3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 3:26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. 3:27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith." Romans 3:23-27.
"6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. 6:12 All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any." 1 Corinthians 6:9-12.
"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death." REVELATION 21:8
1 john 5:7 along with other passages that only appear once in the bible ARE quoted and referenced by the ante-nicene fathers which pre date manuscripts used by new translations. 1 john 5:7 Quoted by priscillikian (liber apologeticus) Referenced by Cyprian ( treatise 1, unity of church sec.6) Terrulian ( adversus praxes c.xxv) St. Jerome ( prologue to the canonical epistles) Also Priscillikian says its in johns writing not just repeating the phrase. If i am wrong please explain but this is important.

Where are “Pentecostals” mentioned in the Bible? Not there, as are some of their practices which make them not the church. How they came about - not by scripture which is not in favor with God.
What you left out is the apostolic oneness Pentecostals who still practice holiness and understand that Jesus is the first and last the Almighy. All things were created by him and for him and in him dwells the fullness of The Godhead.
Nick Needham says that Richard II (of England) married the sister of the king of Bohemia and so Czech students came to Oxford and took back Wycliffe's teachings.
Years ago I looked up King James life and history, and found 10 pages of his life as a guy man and meney lovers, the Bible he put out had to be done over a fue times, but he had put in it,.when Christ was telling us about the last days,.that, two men will be in bed, one will be taken, and the other left,.?
Greek is not a misnomer. The bottom line is that the correct full term of our designation is *the eastern Roman Orthodox Church. We are just as Roman as the Catholics, that's what you should have said, and Byzantine is just a modern later invented term for eastern Rome.
Pentecostal is a cult... just like Jehovah witness.... Mormon.... Catholic.... freewill Baptist...7 day Adventist....cult cult false teachings........ Jesus is the door....the only way to heaven
When I just got saved, I used a KJB, but then I realized I wasn't understanding anything. So I grabbed a dictionary, oh my surprise, the word did not exist in the dictionary... so I move on to an easier to understand version. Long live the king?
