No Second Coming
Here is proof that Jesus expected his “second coming” to be in the first century:
“Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom. (Mat 16:28)”
Still more proof that Jesus expected his “second coming” to happen in the first century:
…Ye (speaking to his disciples) shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come (his second coming). (Mat 10:23)
and
“Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.” (Mat 24:34)

Substitutionary Atonement
This theory makes Jesus into the sacrificial lamb of an ancient Jewish practice in which a lamb (or some other animal) was brought to the priest and was slaughtered — a practice they copied from heathen nations, not commanded by God. “For I spake not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices” (Jer 7:22)
Jesus was a type of sacrificial lamb
One problem with this theory is that God never was happy with the practice of animal sacrifice, in fact, he hated it from the very beginning. God did not accept their sacrifices as a expiation (the act of making amends for guilt). God preferred that men repented, forsook their sins and made peace with God directly.
But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you. (Jer 7:22-23)

Reincarnation in Early Christianity
Despite the orthodox church’s efforts to stamp out the doctrine, it continued to exist. Probably the main reasons for its longevity is not due to only the writings of Jesus and others, but the simple fact that this doctrine gives a logical explanation to many of the mysteries of life that can be solved no other way. Most importantly, it helps to give answers to some of the most basic questions in life such as: “Why am I here?”; “What happens after I die?”; “Who am I really”; “What am I supposed to do?”; etc.
The idea was that the church could use the fear of Hell to create a dependence of the people on the Church for salvation and the guidance of the Empire. The emperor fell for the reasoning of the churchmen and realized that Origen’s teachings presented a danger to his control over the people. Therefore, the emperor had the doctrine of reincarnation and pre-existence with God condemned. In 543, Origen was condemned as a heretic and all of his writings were burned. Continue reading

Reincarnation in the Scriptures
God proclaimed the reincarnation of Elijah. God Himself said that he would send Elijah just before the coming of the Messiah. If you read it just plain and simple the way it’s written, that’s what you get — Reincarnation. There’s not even any interpretation needed here.
The prophet literally prophesied that God would send Elijah before the Messiah. If John was not Elijah, why is nothing at all mentioned about Elijah in the New Testament? It wouldn’t have been a secret because it was to be a public announcement. John the Baptist made that announcement.
The prophet and Jesus said God would send Elijah before the coming of Jesus — whether you interpret that to mean Jesus’ first coming or Jesus’ second coming. If you interpret it as Elijah coming at Jesus’ “second coming”, then it would be Elijah’s second time being sent too. 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 … Continue reading
