Oh, so now it's identity politics and twisting someone's words to INTENTIONALLY misrepresent the meaning. Your "Jesus died on the Tree of Life" is the insanity I called out. Now that your defense is dead, you have to make ME the issue. Yep, you're a true Christian! Thanks!

C'mon, man! Everyone has heard the horror stories of trying to leave, or being shunned, or being the victim of sexual abuse that does not get reported. The fear instilled with convincing its members that they cannot be saved without "the Organization" is nothing short of psychological...

I will take the blame for misstating my original thought and, inadvertently, hijacking the thread. My apologies. The TP regarded "cult behavior" and warned he did not want to make it a theological discussion. The point I made rather clumsily is that I didn't think their theology was the big...

They definitely use cult tactics. In my opinion, it is likely a cult. I have had conversations with people who escaped. But, is it their doctrine that makes them a cult, or how they treat people? I would have a hard time differentiating.

This is RICH! Acts 21:21, 24-25 "People have been lying about you, Paul. We have a solution. You pay for a Nazarite vow for these 4 men, plus yourself, to show your critics that you, yourself, DO walk orderly and keep the Law." You don't even understand the plain language of the event. Let's...

You are conveniently forgetting the topic of the discussion these men are having. But, out-of-context statements are easier to twist. Acts 15:1 "And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved."...

They may be a cult. But, what they teach is no more heretical than most other mainstream denominations. If it turns out that Michael IS Jesus, are all the people that didn't believe that going to the Lake of Fire? Mainstream Christianity is LOADED with its OWN heresy problems. Any denomination...

Really? Do you not see that this definition supports MY position, and NOT yours? Definition 1 "universally, that which is made of wood, as a beam from which anyone is suspended, a gibbet, a cross" NONE of the OT citations would be in Greek, so that is a moot point. ALL of the extra-Biblical...

No. I am allowing ONLY the text to introduce ideas, and then confirm them. You are wedging these verses into your narrative when nothing about them supports your idea. Again, 1500 years after the authors died, a bunch of guys translated a book with words that were not that accurate. You insist...

I didn't ignore them. I addressed them head-on. NONE of those verses say "tree of life." That is all that needs to be said about them! "Any tree" is not "THAT tree." Your claim means the tree of life was cut down and turned into timber. Xulon means "wood." It doesn't even mean "tree." The...

Oh! It's "of the world," alright! It is from the pagan world. It is, by definition, service to another god. It is, by definition, adultery. You claim to be the Bride of the Messiah. But, you are whispering sweet nothing's in Tammuz's ear. The Bible has a name for that kind of woman.

Show me in the Law where any of that is required.

None of the things you are citing say what you claim. The location of that tree is the New Jerusalem. It descends from the heavens. Revelation 21. The Bible DOES NOT SAY that this same tree has been growing on the earth and that it IS the Body of Christ. You are fabricating all of that. It is...

You are contradicting your own statements. Acts 5:30, Gal 3:13, and 1 Peter 2:24 DO NOT say "tree of life." They are specifically NOT ABOUT the tree of life. All trees cannot be given the moniker "tree of life." That would make the tree of life no different than any other tree. If it is nothing...

I don't expect you to believe anything that is factual. Your posts tell me that believing facts is not something you do.

If that is the case, putting up a Christmas tree means Jesus was never born.

No thanks. I've tried. This is what you consider rational dialog: Why don't you you continue in Matthew 16? Matthew 16:23 The traditions of men are Sunday, Christmas and Easter.

I was a "born again evangelical Christian," so I can say this will all confidence. "Christians don't use that term because they don't know anything about the first 75% of the Bible." It was only when I read it that I realized I had been lied to for 25 years. Leviticus 23 explains all the...

YHVH ordained the good works. He ordained that WE should walk in them. The good works he ordained are the Torah. "Walking" means to execute a specific lifestyle. A person can walk in disobedience. They can walk in righteousness. It is all a matter of whom they choose to obey. Romans 6:15...

She's right. You are a troll. On the "Unorthodox Doctrine" forum you have at least a dozen threads on every page. Trust me. NOTHING you have to say is that interesting. You offer the same hypnotized jargon with no ability to have a meaningful dialog. All your posts reflect the same slack-jawed...
