The Kingdom of God Part 1
Discovering the Kingdom of God I could never quite understand what the Kingdom of God was, where it was, or how one entered there, until I removed so much misconception that I had about Reality. Believe it or not, it … Continue reading

Incompatible Reincarnation
People who have had an NDE experience, say their lives are completely changed. I have never seen a testimony of any experiencer that did not believe in Reincarnation — whether or not they believed in it before, no matter what religion they were before or whether or not they even believed in God. For them, Reincarnation is not something they must believe “by faith”, but a reality that they have seen, experienced and remember. More importantly, many near death experiencers have been shown short views of past lives. Continue reading

Abstaining from Meat Part 2
It is evident that the early Christians abstained from flesh meats, contrary to what modern Christianity would have us believe.
- Nazarenes
Epiphanius says that the Nazarenes “eat no meat”. Hugh Shonfield, in The Passover Plot: The name borne by the earliest followers of Jesus was not Christians: they were called Nazoreans (Nazarenes)…. They were vegetarians and rejected animal sacrifices.“
- Ebionites
Epiphanius of Salamis stated that the Ebionites “…opposed animal sacrifice, denying parts or most of the Law, and practiced religious vegetarianism” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebionites)
- The Apostle Matthew
…was himself a vegetarian, “Accordingly, the apostle Matthew partook of seeds, and nuts, and vegetables, without flesh“. (Clement of Alexandria)
- James, the brother of Jesus — Eusebius, quotes Hegesippus:
After the apostles, James the brother of the Lord surnamed the Just was made head of the Church at Jerusalem. Many indeed are called James. This one was holy from his mother’s womb. He drank neither wine nor strong drink, ate no flesh” (Hegesippus’ account of James from the fifth book of Hegesippus’ lost Commentaries)
- John the Baptist
(his diet) “consisted of wild honey that tasted like manna, like sweet cake cooked in oil.” (In the Gospel of Matthew which they call the Hebrew Gospel.)

Because Jesus is Not God
Because Jesus is not God: this means the church fathers had to have invented some incredibly huge lies to deceive millions if not billions of people all over the world throughout the last 20 centuries or so. This has to be one of the reasons there are so many contradictions and inconsistencies in the bible.
But there shall arise after you, men of perverse minds who shall through ignorance or through craft, suppress many things which I have spoken unto you, and lay to me things which I never taught, sowing tares among the good wheat which I have given you to sow in the world. (Gospel of the Nazarenes 44:7)
the enemies of truth and righteousness shall rule in my Name, and set up a kingdom of this world, and oppress the peoples, and cause the enemy to blaspheme, putting for my doctrines the opinions of men, and teaching in my Name that which I have not taught, and darkening much that I have taught by their traditions. (Gospel of the Nazarenes 95:4)
The declarations here are so incredibly huge that it is almost unbelievable to be true. However, so many Christians have heard just the opposite so many times that they believe it and would not even think of questioning it. After all, it’s what the Church teaches and “the Church could never be wrong”.

No Man Can Come to the Father
The truth is universal — not limited to only Christianity., but to the whole world throughout all time. It has been spoken by all prophets of all times that God sent to Man. So when Jesus referred to himself, he was speaking of the truth that he spoke.
In fact, no one can even come to Jesus unless God draws him. So it makes sense that many come to Jesus because they have already come to God! This is exactly the opposite that orthodoxy is teaching. If God draws men to Jesus, it’s usually because they have already come to God first! Continue reading

Who Created the Heavens and the Earth?
According to Philo Jesus is the Logos it and, as it says in John chapter 1 he calls the Logos “the first-born of God”. If he is the first-born, then he is a creation of God.
Therefore, Jesus is not eternal and cannot be God. If Jesus had been given all power — he didn’t always have the power. So he is a creation of God and could not have been the creator of heaven and Earth.
The idea of the “Word” in the first chapter of John about the Logos is absent in the other gospels; it is a Greek concept, foreign to the early Christians and is definitely not a part of the gospels taught by Jesus and the apostles. Theoretically, the Logos would be (translated) the Word, a concept which only exists in Greek philosophy. Continue reading

Which is the Real Truth?
I have heard people comment that Christianity today is so completely different than what Jesus taught in his day — and that is using a comparison from their own bibles. More and more people are becoming disillusioned with Christianity today and are either just not going to church or are looking for some alternative. Continue reading
