    Critical thinking and education is linked to loss of faith

    I was thinking earlier this evening about the Nicene Creed. (2025 is the 1700th anniversary of the first Council of Nicaea.) It‘s inception dates to the 4th century (the original creed to AD 325 and the amended creed to AD 381). Three hundred years after the earthly ministry of the Messiah. The...

    Bible reading plans

    From my X / Twitter “For you” feed today - “Biblical Illiteracy Is at an All-Time High Did you know that 12% of high school graduates actually believe Joan of Arc was Noah’s wife? And get this - they also think Sodom and Gomorrah were husband and wife! Seriously? Give me a break! This is why...

    Church councils?

    From my X / Twitter “For you” feed: ”In 2025 we celebrate 1700th anniversary since the inception of our Creed at the First Council of Nicaea.” https://x.com/progenyofgod/status/1882877740065632707?s=61 This is slightly misleading. It’s absolutely true that this year will mark the 1700th...

    Critical thinking and education is linked to loss of faith

    My position on this is unassailable. There is room for discussion on my position concerning Hebrews 13:8.

    Critical thinking and education is linked to loss of faith

    My belief (primitive Christianity) is the Messiah’s belief. Yours isn’t, and I don’t find it / you persuasive. I’m not asking anyone to believe something, anything, which they aren’t persuaded is true.

    Critical thinking and education is linked to loss of faith

    When a person‘s creed is unitarian the person is a unitarian. The Jews, then and now, are unitarians. Jesus’ creed is unitarian. Jesus, himself a Jew, is a unitarian. Confirmation: Jesus himself tells us explicitly (John 20:17) that his God (and the God of his disciples) is only one person...

    Critical thinking and education is linked to loss of faith

    When Jesus quotes his creed in Mark 12:29 the Greek word used is the singular kurios, not the plural kurioi. Yahweh is the Lord (singular) God (singular) - not the lords (plural) gods (plural) - of Israel. The Shema is a unitarian creed. There is no plurality in it.

    I hate myself, and hate being an atheist.

    I haven’t been able to help you. The more that we’ve talked the deeper you’ve become entrenched in the hope (hopelessness) of atheism and hatred of yourself. As happened with Pharaoh, you’ve hardened your heart. P.S. I have no personal animosity toward you - far from it - but my business is...
