    First I’m not stuck, I’m a Radical Christian who follows the Primitive Baptist community and its very liberating… they are entirely devoted to scripture and that’s rare these days.

    My questions are more directed with understanding your thinking process… that’s all.

    Well progressives have no core beliefs, at least I’ve not been able to find any… so they attempt to stimulate themselves with avant-garde contrivances while most conservative are married to doctrine. Now a Radical Christian digs to the truth I.e., the root cause behind Gods Great Plan and that takes work to search for truth and meaning.

    I don’t know where you are heading however on this particular form your apt to get many different traditions coalescing in order to find truth in scripture… and many are indeed stuck in their precious doctrines. However there are times that heated controversy and debate sharpen those who dialog. As long as you see value in that, that everyone’s opinion might be valuable, then you can thrive here.

    I don't know. I'm not Catholic. I've been doing my own thing. ;)

    I only just recently learned about this. I was under the impression for many years that they were just another branch or kind of Catholicism. I want to look into them a little bit more.

    You use he word equivalent as in God is equivalent to the universe. I don’t see it that way. I see God as the Creator of all things therefore there is no equal. You also mentioned atheism in the same breath… that’s confusing because practicing it is to not believe… bottom line is Christian’s gotta believe in Christ and the godhead, A Trinity explanation that I personally find described throughout the Bible. Therefore I cling to Scripture for understanding and guidance.

    No... You're not primitive. If you were primitive then you wouldn't be using technology to communicate with me and you would probably be Amish. ;)

    Actually, Baptists have a lot to offer the Body of Christ. Your people are incredibly committed to applying the Bible to your lives in ways that defy the culture of our day. The preaching is some of the most powerful and passionate I've ever heard. Baptists really seek to apply what the Bible says to their lives. It's really cool.

    Okay, so you're not stuck. You're seeking to understand my thinking process. Very good. Yeah, we could go about it either way because either way you'll understand more about how I think about things. It's up to you.

    I like the Benedictines as a religious order, they are very spiritual but I’m not cracked up on ROMAN Catholicism as a whole … many traditions I take issue with. A religious retreat can be found and attended might provide a window of understanding

    Correct. Pantheism is only true up to a certain point and then you hit the logical brick wall where the Creator is the creation and the creation is the Creator but it is logically necessary for the Creator to have a deeper story than the creation because the Creator is the one who created the creation. So... Yeah. That's why pantheism doesn't work.

    We apply the word “Primitive” to Original. We also practice a bit differently than modern Baptist churches. Some may say we are peculiar but I say we think outa the box. :)

    The difference between the two of them is this:

    Pantheism says: The Creator = The creation

    Panentheism says: The Creator > and = The creation

    Imagine a venn diagram where one circle fits entirely inside a bigger circle. The small circle is the creation. The big one is God.

    There are orders of Benedictines outside of The Catholic Church. There are Anglican Benedictines and Lutheran Benedictines I know of that have marvelous retreat centers.

    This a Lutheran Benedictine retreat house: Home - Saint Augustine's House
    This one is Anglican: Holy Cross Monastery

    EWF... I don't need to explain it, scripture already has... Brother Glen:)

    1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

    8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.

    That's thinking out of the box!

    Any teaching that denies/rejects the Biblical Doctrine of the Trinity, of Three Distinct, coequal Persons, the Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, in One Eternal Godhead or Divine Nature, is totally heretical and teachings from the devil himself.

    I have many postings on BB to show that beyond any doubt, the God of the Bible is as I have described above, which is from Genesis to Revelation.

    I will also make this bold statement, that anyone who does not believe this, will not be in heaven. it is SO SERIOUS.

    We will expect in these Last Times, that many will try to distort what the Bible clearly teaches, and, sadly, the devil is using many "christians" to push his damnable heresies!

    This should WARN people to REJECT the teachings of this HERETIC!

    The Trinity Can Only Be Experienced

    BE WARNED

    Fascinating! Are there any that would dispute this?
