    Vigil of Peter and Paul?

    I'm working on a seminary paper on the blood libel of Little Hugh of Lincoln (1255 CE). Naturally, there are discrepancies in the source material (mainly several chronicles and an Anglo-Norman poem). For example, the sources disagree on the day that Hugh disappeared, the day he was supposedly...

    Skull and crossbones

    Hi, While on an English literature course I seem to remember my English tutor saying that one of the interpretations of the skull and crossbones comes from a theological discussion on how much of a human body needs to exist for it to be taken up to heaven at the end of days. If memory serves the...

    Evidently, the New Testament has Greco-Roman aspects, in addition to Jewish aspects.

    Is demonic possession real ?

    Secularism believes that people are evil because of psychological reasons. But some religious people believe that evil people are evil because they are controlled by Satan and his demons I am wondering witch one is true and makes more sense ? I know most people don't like to hear about Demonic...

    Star of Remphan?

    Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon. (Acts 7:43) Any thoughts?

    Did Jesus Christ Actually Exist?

    I think we all know about the controversial writings of The Antiquities of the Jews by Flavius Josephus and The Annals of Tacitus for example. Some say the parts about Jesus in their writings were forgeries and others think they were authentic. But these men were not even born at the time of the...

    My objections to the claim of God's perfection

    Christians claim that God is perfect. But, I have my personal reasons for thinking He's imperfect. I'll just share 3 reasons for now. My 1st reason is in regards to the 2 popular, Christian views of punishment, which are Annihilationism (the idea that God erases unsaved sinners from existence)...

    Why do some Atheists say Christianity is harmful?

    Obviously not all Atheists claim this, most atheists dont really care about ones faith. However there are some atheists who claim Christianity is harmful as a religion. They tend to be more on the antitheist side. My question is why? And how? How is christianity in any way form or shape...

    Only Christians: what are the limits of mixing denominations?

    Keep in mind we are not in a debate section, so please do not correct anyone. I'm just gathering and don't want to get into an argument about who is or isn't a christian or why I shouldn't believe this or that. (sorry posted in wrong section) These are important considerations, but I have a...

    Christianity and Atheism commonality.

    Christians believe "Blessed are those who wash their robes" as mentioned in the bible (Revelation 22:14). This means anybody who doesn't wash their clothes are dirty and filthy. Ashiests also think people who don't wash their clothes are dirty and filthy. I think we can all agree regardless of...

    Power of Relics

    Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, and many other religions have relics. Sometime their small trinkets spanning into weapons and even human body part remains or full bodies. It is fascinating to me that so many people would treasure these relics for so long. It really shows how...

    (Catholics) Why do some Catholic churches do the wine drinking ceremony and other Catholic churches don't?

    Why do some Catholic churches do the wine drinking ceremony and other Catholic churches don't? Some churches do it with the eucharist, but other churches don't do it at all. This happens during Holy Communion.

    Unity within Religious Groups

    The Baha'i Faith is a very interesting religion. It allows its members to do virtually anything they want and remain a Baha'i. If you are gay and want to have a gay marriage, you cannot have a gay Baha'i marriage, but you can get married the secular way if your government permits it. There's a...

    Interaction

    I recently had said that monotheism is a contradiction because it is impossible to not be of the Universe yet be involved in it in so many ways. That's probably not true. I mean, look at the Internet. I'm interacting with all of you despite not being in your house. But exactly what does God do...

    Not Christianity, But Something Similar...

    I have a belief that borderline makes me Christian. Let me explain. I believe that Christ was born of Mary and Joseph, that Mary wasn't a virgin when she conceived Jesus, and that the miracles that Jesus supposedly performed during his lifetime either didn't happen or were greatly exaggerated...

    Accepting Jesus Christ as Lord, Syncretism and relationship

    Howdy ho! At this point I may as well call myself Syncretism cat. Recently I was meditating and praying as is my usual activity. Sometimes I mix up which form of God I focus on though usually it is Kali, Shiva, Waheguru etc. This time I decided to use Christ as the center focus and use the...

    Systems, Theology, No path Path

    Howdy! I just felt like sharing some thoughts. The universe started with a divine dance. Not something like a waltz but something more like salsa. Shiva and Shakti came together, and their dance created all things. There was passion, lust, adventure, thrills, horror and so many other things...
