Trinity proof texts: John 8:58 ...

By going on to say that this uncreated Logos "became" (egeneto) flesh (1:14), John draws another contrast between the two natures of Christ.

John Calvin debated persons in his day who interpreted the passage to mean that Jesus was eternally known by God in his foreknowledge. This view survived late into the nineteenth century, when it was effectively put to rest by the orthodox observation that the emphatic ego allowed for no other interpretation but that Jesus himself was the one who existed eternally.

To the modem religious mind, in fact, there can be very little difference in saying, as do the orthodox, that Jesus, was temporarily dead, but after a few hours came to life again, and saying, as do the critics, that He passed into a condition indistinguishable from death, and 'then returned to life."

False Doctrine of Modalism: As taught by the United Pentecostal ... ... True History of Modalism: We get much of our information on the Modalists from Tertullian (died c. 225), who wrote a treatise against Praxeas. The early Christians were quick to spot new heresies. In the third century, Sabellius, a Libyan priest staying at Rome, invented a new one. He claimed there is only one Person in the Godhead, so that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are all one Person with different "offices," rather than three Persons who are one Being in the Godhead, as the orthodox position holds. Of course, people immediately recognized that Sabellius's teaching contradicted the historic faith of the Church, and he was quickly excommunicated. His heresy became known as Sabellianism, Modalism, and Patripassianism. It was called Sabellianism after its founder, Modalism after the three modes or offices which it claimed the one Person of the Trinity occupied, and Patripassianism after its claim that the Person of the Father (Patri-) suffered (-passion) on the cross when ... ... https://www.bible.ca/trinity/trinity-modalism.htm

Scientology's Relationship With Eastern Religious Traditions ... By November Hubbard abandoned the mailing effort (Churchill, 1954b: 9), having attracted only a few interested people (Churchill, 1954a). His religious claims lay largely dormant until six years later, by which time he was living at his estate in East Grinstead, Sussex, England. In a short bulletin, Hubbard wrote that Scientology was both a "Religious philosophy" and "a Religious practice" that "conducts basic services such as Sermons at Church meetings, Christenings, Weddings and Funerals". As he had suggested years before, Hubbard insisted that "Scientology's closest spiritual ties with any other religion are with Orthodox (Hinayana) Buddhism, with which it shares an historical lineage" (Hubbard, 1960).

A third possibility is that the so-called report is a late Christian "forgery." If this is correct, there must have been a tradition that at the Crucifixion the moon appeared like blood: to what extent this document is an invention is unimportant in this context, it is the terminology employed that is, however, significant. Further evidence is provided by Cyril of Alexandria, the orthodox Patriarch of Alexandria in A.D. 412. After stating that there was dark-ness at the Crucifixion he adds, "Something unusual occurred about the circular rotation of the moon so that it even seemed to be turned into blood," and notes that the prophets foretold such signs.32 It is concluded that the "Report of Pilate" and the words of Cyril may be used as secondary supporting evidence that the moon appeared like blood on the evening of the Crucifixion."

Scientology: Hubbard and the Occult ... Jacobsen quotes from the third century Christain gnostic Valentinus: "For many spirits dwell in it [the body] and do not permit it to be pure; each of them brings to fruition its own works, and they treat it abusively by means of unseemly desires". Jacobsen goes on to cite the gnostic Basilides, man "preserves the appearance of a wooden horse, according to the poetic myth, embracing as he does in one body a host of such different spirits." Jacobsen points out that multiple possession seems to have been considered normal by these gnostics. Possession equates to madness in orthodox Christianity, and examples of multiple possession are rare (the Gadarene swine for example).

Numerous church fathers testify to the lengths to which orthodox Judaism went to discredit Jesus' Messianic office, a phenomenon also recorded throughout the book of Acts.

Historical overview of Psychiatry: 1550 BC - 2010 AD ... Notice Farmer rejects demon possession and instead calls it a "disorder". Farmer almost stands alone as a church preacher for first equating demon possession with the diseases like common cold, and second for viewing insanity as having a physical/biological cause. It seems he may have been strongly influenced by William Battie and John Monro, who took the same view. What is important to point out, is that he correctly rejected the idea that insanity was caused by supernatural demon possession. In this regard, he was orthodox among his fellow church preachers. Supernatural demon possession is real, but it has never been the cause of insanity. (Essay on the Demoniacs of the New Testament, Hugh Farmer, 1775 AD) Click to View In 1779 AD, Franz Anton Mesmer, founded "Mesmerism" where a man could transmit animal magnetism to another and bring about an instant cure for "diseases of the nerves".

The Exodus Route: A scriptural proof, with the witness of history ... ... Jerome says the border of Egypt bordered on Raphia. This is east of the Wadi el-Arish. Raphia is where the modern border of Israel is located. "In a battle near the town of Raphia, which is on the borders of Egypt, Antiochus lost his entire army and was almost captured while escaping through the desert. He retreated from Syria, and eventually the war was concluded with a treaty on certain conditions." (Jerome, Daniel 11:10-14, 400 AD) 8. AD 542: Madaba Map: The "Madaba map" is a mosaic floor laid in AD 542. It is in St. George's Orthodox church in the city of Madaba, Jordan. The map is famous because it is one of the oldest maps of Bible lands in the world. It agrees with the "Onomasticon" (dictionary of cities) written by Eusebius in AD 325.

Shakers deny eternal damnation of the lost Shakers believe in universal salvation Shakers deny the atonement of Christ on the cross (as does the WOF movement) Shakes deny the Trinity of God and believe God is dual - father and mother Click here to review Shakers history and official doctrines and creed Documentation: Historically, the Shakers got their roots from the Quakers, and were known originally as the Shaking Quakers. The Quakers trace their roots back to a heretical group known as the French Prophets. "Shaker dissent from orthodox beliefs and practices was so extreme as to be heretical: hence the prejudice, alarm, and violent opposition." (The People Called the Shakers, p44, Edward Deming Andrews) About the year 1747, some members of the Society of Quakers, who had become subjects of the revival, formed themselves into a society, of which Jane and James Wardley were the lead.

Unreliability of Radiometric Dating and Old Age of the Earth ... Consider this: if a specimen is older than 50,000 years, it has been calculated that it would have such a small amount of C14 that for practical purposes it would show an infinite radiocarbon age. So it was expected that most deposits such as coal, gas, etc. would be undatable by this method. In fact, of thousands of dates in the journals Radiocarbon and Science to 1968, only a handful were classed "undatable" - most were of the sort which should have been in this category. This is especially remarkable with samples of coal and gas supposedly produced in the Carboniferous period 300 million years ago! Some examples of dates which contradict orthodox (evolutionary) views: Coal from Russia from the "Pennsylvanian," supposedly 300 million years old, was dated at 1,680 years. (Radiocarbon, vol. 8, 1966). Natural gas from Alabama and Mississippi (Cretaceous and Eocene, respectively) should have been 50 million to 135 million years old, yet C14 gave dates of 30,000 to 34,000 years, ... ... https://www.bible.ca/tracks/dating-radiometric.htm

THE PIRATES OF PRIVILEGE: Walter Rea Rocks the Seventh-day Adventist ... ... So it is possible . . . to utilize the terminology of Bible Christianity with absolute freedom, having already redesigned these terms in a theological framework of his own making and to his own liking, but almost always at direct variance with the historically accepted meanings of the terms. The student of cultism, then, must be prepared to scale the language barrier of terminology. First, he must recognize that it does exist, and second, he must acknowledge the very real fact that unless terms are defined when one is either speaking or reading cult theology, the semantic jungle which the cults have created will envelop , making difficult, if not impossible, a proper contrast between the teachings of the cults and those of orthodox Christianity. 5 Had Martin's definition been more precise and his observations more astute, surely he would have included Seventh-day Adventists. He seems to sense this error of judgment years later in an interview in the July 1983 Adventist Currents, when ... ... https://www.bible.ca/7-pirates-of-privilege.htm

In Darkest England and the Way Out, William Booth 1890 AD ... In a Scheme for the working out of social salvation the great, the only, test that is worth anything is the success with which they attain the object for which they are devised. An ugly old tub of a boat that will land a shipwrecked sailor safe on the beach is worth more to him than the finest yacht that ever left a slip-way incapable of effecting the same object. The superfine votaries of culture may recoil in disgust from the rough-and-ready suggestions which I have made for dealing with the Sunken Tenth, but mere recoiling is no solution. If the cultured and the respectable and the orthodox and the established dignitaries and conventionalities of Society pass by on the other side we cannot follow their example. We may not be priests and Levites, but we can at least play the part of the Good Samaritan. The man who went down to Jericho and fell among thieves was probably a very improvident, reckless individual, who ought to have known better than to go roaming alone through defiles ... ... ...https://www.bible.ca/psychiatry/in-darkest-england-and-the-way-out-william-booth-1890ad.htm
