Concordant Christology: Arianism vs Socinianism

Those of us in the ecclesia called the body of Christ — not to be confused with members of the Christian religion who mistakenly use our title — are not Trinitarians (nor are we Modalists, for the same reasons we don’t believe in the Trinity).

Now, to be fair, any… Continue reading Are you in a cult? Comparing the Christian religion vs the body of Christ to the BITE model

How we can know with certainty that there is more than one Gospel

I’ve written about the differences between the various Gospels mentioned in Scripture many times on this website, and given various arguments as to why there is more than one recorded in Scripture, but there’s one proof which settles the debate beyond any shadow of a doubt, and that is the different meanings and end results… Continue reading How we can know with certainty that there is more than one Gospel
