    Does Anyone Else Struggle with the Symbolism of our Holidays?

    Over the past few years I've done a decent amount of research on the origins of Christian Traditions and many of them I struggle with. One of the big ones being Christmas. We can trace the origins of the tree to worship of Saturn and the time of the year aligns with the rebirth of the Sun that...

    REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY

    This amount of detail seems frivolous. What impact does believing in replacement or non-replacement have an an individual's walk with Christ? All Christians worship a Jewish man who loved his own people. God's church and people are those who profess Jesus as Messiah. In God's kingdom "There is...

    What are you thoughts on Annihilation?

    Sorry, I just don't buy it. I do want to state that I still think people believing in an everlasting hell is a reasonable position. It's just not my position anymore. I'm not trying to pick fights. My only point to jump in on this forum is that the annihilation position has some points to...

    What are you thoughts on Annihilation?

    In my experience most people's perspective of hell comes from culture not the Bible. ie: Dante's Inferno, Saturday morning cartoons. When I've heard countless pastors speak of it, it's usually more dogma then expository. Plus, people have raised some good points concerning the doctrine of hell...

    REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY

    The idea that replacement theology stokes anti-semitism is shallow. Plus I think it's bad theology anyways: Revelation 7 lists out 12,000 from each tribe even though 10 of them were divorced in the OT. Jesus in Matthew 15 says he has come for the lost sheep of the house of Israel, the same...
