Much of what today's christians believe emanates from greek and roman pagan religions, which originate in babylon, and was purposely mixed in with apostolic doctrine almost from the second our Lord ascended to heaven to sit at the right hand of the Father.
The underlying hebrew and greek texts from which all english translations are derived do not support any of the following received, non-scriptural, but which are in most churches today, and many online communities, widely-held doctrines:
- the trinity
- once saved always saved
- hell
- satan
- pre-trib rapture
- preterism
- gap theory/ pre-adamic race
- nephilim/ fallen angels
- calvinism.
Without these false and blasphemous doctrines, many which make our Father out to be a sadistic and cruel tyrant, christianity would make a lot more sense to those still lost without Christ in the world, who still believe the fables of men, the religion of scientism, and their mass indoctrination and programming which run 180 degrees against YHVH and His anointed.
There seems to be a common misconception that the king james translation, and other english translations, are somehow more accurate and reliable than the original language manuscripts. Illogical claims such as these ought to give the truly-seeking mind a glimpse into the subtle nature of programming and thought-control which must be at the root of such errors.
A strong emotional reaction to the words you read on a screen is also a good indicator of such manipulation too.
Both of these are evidences of a cult-like mentality: defending something that has been taught to you as absolute truth, but without your ever having really questioned its validity for yourself.
For the rational and God-minded, search the originals (with the help of all the tools online) and you will see 'sheol' and 'hades' mean the grave; 'ha-satan' means the adversary, and no proper noun ever has a definite article before it - would you ever think to say 'the Jesus' ? there is no 1 john 5:7 in the majority of new testament manuscripts now available - it was a footnote in a latin translation; a major verse which appears to support the trinity (even though nearly every one of paul's epistles open and close without mention of the Holy Spirit,) but is actually absent from the original greek.
Many of these other doctrines can be rationally disproved even with the english translations: we are saved by grace through faith, but if you do not repent your previous sinful and unGodly life it is empty belief, a vessel without water, a wandering star for whom the blackness of darkness is reserved for ever..'
i know this post is most controversial, because it will be perceived by orthodox churches which have received false doctrine for thousands of years as heresy, but i can give multiple scriptures and evidence, logic and sound reason as to why the doctrines i list above are not right, do not concur with scripture, and ought to be re-examined by every individual believer for themselves.
