Nobody celebrated Easter until the mid 2nd century. Of course we in the Enlgish speaking world say Easter but the fetival is really the Passion or Passiontide. The word Easter coems from the Anglo-Saxon pagan earth goddess Aeostre or Erce. The eggs are slightly pagan I'll admit but hardly...

Golgotha, the palce of the skull was supposed to be where Adam's skull was buried and there are legends that it was buried under the very cross jesus was crucified on. when Christ's blood fell on the ground it seeped through onto Adam's remains and he was saved. This is a legend I know but it...

They disobeyed God and at the fruit. They brought sin, misery and death into the world. Is it possible for them to be saved? I've asked this question to people before and soem say they probably are but others won't really say either way. So I'll put it to the forum.

I've always had a softspot for early and medieval Christianity. I wouldn't jump on other people's beliefs that would be abhorrant to me. In any case can there really be such things as heresy anymore. I'll admit rigid statements of faith like the Niceane, the Appostles and the Athenasian...

The thing about creeds is they can't really be interpretted one way or the other, they allow wone to have a simple faith. The Bible is so vast and is not easy to interpret. To people who claim to interpret scripture litterally can come to completely different conclusions from the same book...

I have felt the call to go on Pilgrimage for a long time, even when I was away from the church for a time. I'm never sure where is best. I have a desire to visit Compostella and I do wonder if that is where I am called to go. I can't treally explain why but I've always felt that it is the...

While reading the Bible is very special to me, the thtread is about soemthing which you can't just do at any time.

I'm interested to know what people here think about pilgrimage in general accross the board from people of all types of churchmanship. Pilgrimage is something I'd really like to do but I'm never sure where to go. i've often thought about going to Lourdes or Sant iago de Compostella but its...

Lillith is not Bilical. Some legends say that Adam Lillith were created together and pulled apar to make man and woman. Also the legends say that Lillith would not be submissive to Adam, she always wanted to dominate him. Adam complained and God told her to behave, so she uttered the secret...
