    Looking for religious books to read...

    That is the Bible that I have already chosen to read. Thanks!

    Do you think there is a reliable way to find the truth?

    Why Have You Left Your Church?

    Harsh words. They're not necessary.

    Why Have You Left Your Church?

    Honestly, I'm not sure. I can't put my finger on it. I feel like I'm looking for something that I haven't found in the Church. That's why I'm doing so much reading and studying on my own. I'm trying to learn more about my religion and learn more about other religions to see if I can find what...

    does JESUS(pbuh) said i am GOD & worship me ?

    Haha, fair 'nough. I'll let you know when I do. Are there any specific authors that you suggest?

    Why Have You Left Your Church?

    Agreed. In all the years that I've been with the Church, I have never personally encountered anyone who has had any problem with members of the clergy. I've met a number of priests in my life and none of them seemed to be sketchy or anything to me. It only seems like there are a lot of corrupt...

    Was Christ Divine?

    Even early Church fathers admit that there are numerous problems in keeping the scriptures consistent. Scribes would sometimes feel the need to change wordings or make additions or deletions to the text. Sometimes they made mistakes as well. One prominent early Christian theologian and scholar...

    Undercover atheists in LDS Church

    It entirely depends on if they told people they were just taking the classes to learn more about the LDS church or if they blatantly lied to the congregation and pretended that they were really interested in joining the church. In the article it says that they had to "take vows of chastity and...

    does JESUS(pbuh) said i am GOD & worship me ?

    Just because the Trinity was the most popular belief does not mean that it is the correct one. I have not yet read either. I have a very long reading list that I'm trying to work though. However, I expect that by reading texts from early Christian fathers, my points will only be reaffirmed. In...

    Was Christ Divine?

    Exactly the point I was trying to make. The Bible is a compilation of different writings from different authors that have been copied and recopied (either accurately or very inaccurately) until we have the New Testament we have today. Along the way, changes were made due to theological opinions...

    Why Have You Left Your Church?

    The Catholic Church is just as much of a man-made institution as any Protestant religion is. In any case, religion is not a matter of choosing between Catholicism or Protestantism within Christianity. There's a whole lot more other religions out there besides Christianity and they have just as...

    Why Have You Left Your Church?

    That is an entirely false statement. I enjoy going to Mass and we have a great priest at the church I go to who gives excellent and somewhat inspiring sermons. However, I'm thinking about leaving the Church. I don't know if I can learn more from it. I started by going to a service in each...

    does JESUS(pbuh) said i am GOD & worship me ?

    It's the idea of the Trinity that gets me. Father, Son and Holy Spirit as one God. It's not something that was written out explicitly in the Bible. The Trinity is an idea that early Christians struggled with and eventually came out as the winner over the centuries. In the first few centuries of...

    Was Christ Divine?

    This is true, all the stories in the Bible were written way after the fact during a time period where the followers of Jesus were trying to figure themselves out. Some people believed that Jesus was human, but blessed by God. Others thought he was entirely divine. Some people suggested that...

    Looking for religious books to read...

    Okay, I see. So it's not so much the content that's different, it's the perspective. Fair 'nough.

    does JESUS(pbuh) said i am GOD & worship me ?

    Nope, not sarcastic. I was legitimately wondering where it came from because I knew it wasn't the Bible, but I didn't remember who put it together. As far as the creed itself goes, some of it is from the Bible, but other parts are Church doctrine that sort of evolved over the centuries. If all...

    Where did Jesus asked to be worshpped?

    I find Paul to be a very interesting character. From what I understand, though he never met Jesus, he took what he knew about Jesus' teachings and created his own ideas. A lot of other people did the same thing in the early centuries. It just so happens that a lot of Paul's ideas stuck. I...

    Where did the Nicene Creed come from?

    Looking for religious books to read...

    So, the Old Testament in the Christian Bible is not the same as the Jewish Bible? How big would you say the differences are and could you give me an example?
