  • Some myths of fundamental evangelical Christianity

    The universe exists only 6000 years

    In contrary I see no reason to assume that the calculation of “6-days” creation started with the first day of heaven.

    I will write more later on my interpretation of “6 days” as 6 days or 6 arbitrary time periods. Now I will refrain of digging this topic further.

    The second come of Christ will be in our century

    It is true that Jesus Christ has said that he will come soon.

    But there is no reason to assume that this “soon” means soon in human terms. I’d rather mean that this is be soon compared with the time universe may exist, what is milliards of years. So if Christ will come after a million years after now, it is indeed soon.

    It was also concluded that because (2Pe. 3:8) “one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day” to six days of creation it should correspond 6000 years until the “day of Lord” (next 1000 years of Christ presence). This is an interesting idea, but this is a speculation which cannot be trusted, like we can trust the direct meaning of Bible.

    For homosexuality comes God’s wrath on people

    It is notorious among evangelical Christians that for homosexuality comes wrath on people such as fire from heaven. This is based on the biblical story of Sodom and Gomorrah. These ancient cities were destroyed by God with fire.

    Homosexuality is certainly a sin or a pathology.

    But I assume that Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed for the attempt to rape the visitors rather than for homosexuality. Their attempt of homosexual rape is certainly much worse than plain homosexuality.

  • Conversion into a friend of Christ

    [Based on my book “End of Gospel”.]

    Traditional Christianity offers you becoming a Christ’s slave.

    I offer something other, to become free, neither His slave nor a slave of anybody else.

    (Jn. 8:31-32) 31 Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples. 32 You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”

    Believing in Christ makes us also believing in His commandments in Gospel, believing in the commandments makes us slaves as accordingly to our faith we are directed to deciding our actions accordingly to the commandments. Below I write how to get rid from this kind of slavery for Gospel.

    Conversion into traditional Christianity is not good because sins of a convert need to be managed by the Master that is Christ. (Mt. 23) 15 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel around by sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much of a son of Gehenna as yourselves. Thus a slave of Christ is not a good thing but a son of Gehenna.

    Christ does not need slaves. He needs to pay for sins of His slaves and this is not His will.

    Thus I offer you to become free disciples of Christ, not slaves of sin and not slaves of Christ anymore.

    The reasons for this:

    • It’s better for you to be free than to be slaves of somebody
    • Christ will not need anymore to manage you with your sins as His slave

    The attempt to observe the commandments leads only to harm (like Victor Porton’s attempt to start nuclear war as an edge case). Thus Gospel cancels itself and an attempt to follow it is useless. Thus I am freed by this truth from the obligation to observe the commandments and the commandments are only recommendations for me. I’m not a slave of Christ anymore but His friend.

    Our attempt to follow the commandments produces only violation of more important commandments. For example, we are greedy for money needed for our vision of accomplishing Christ’s commandments and this is not good.

    We cannot fulfill the commandments of Gospel and may only cause harm if we attempt to follow Gospel and therefore should be set free from the commandments. Instead I expect from Christ to change me and to make the observation of commandments my inner nature, not to follow them artificially.

    Ready to become a friend of Christ? Just pronounce the following confession and this is done!

    I want to become a friend of Christ and not a neither slave of anybody nor anything, even not a slave of Christ Himself. I admit that Christ has died for my sins in order to pay by the price of His life for purchasing me with the following plan to make me free from any slavery.

    I allow Christ to enter me and fix my soul, brain, and heart in order to set me free from sin, in order to live eternal life as an adopted child of God, according to my faith, not my attempt to observe the commandments.

    I’m now a free person, not a slave of anybody or anything.

    Amen.

    After conversion into a friend of Christ, I welcome you to join the community of friends of Christ.

    If you have not yet done it, read my book “End of Gospel”.

  • God compared with a civilization – first draft

    The first draft of the article “God compared with a civilization” put online. In this article I compare God with a highly developed technological civilization. God is studied following this analogy (and Bible). Using this analogy certain mysteries such as Holy Trinity become clear.

  • Do aliens exist according Bible?

    (Jn. 10:16) I have other sheep, which are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will hear my voice. They will become one flock with one shepherd.

    Traditionally this is interpreted as Christ saving not only Jews but also gentiles (other sheep). But I believe it also means that there are aliens not from this fold that is not from this planet.

    There are also an other verse which signifies that aliens exist:

    (Mt. 23:37) “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets, and stones those who are sent to her! How often would I have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, and you would not!.

    Her wings signifies wings of Christ that is wings of flying machines which belong to aliens which belong to Christ.

    Christ many times wanted to gather people under the wings of his flying machines, but people would not.

    Let’s wait for the second come of Christ when he will bring His wings to the Earth.

  • Updated “What is soul?” section

    I updated the “What is soul?” section of online book “End of Gospel”.

    The updated section is reprised here:

    What is soul?

    Soul is believed to be eternal, immaterial part of man.

    What this means?

    I have an unexpected answer: Soul is the warranty (given by God) for body (including warranty of preservation of information in the brain).

    God gives the warranty as the creator of man.

    So, it is natural that soul is eternal (that is God gives the warranty of eternal life) and immaterial (soul is not some thinner matter like astral bodies in some religions).

    This way we come to the possibility of agreement of our religion with the science: The mind of a man is located in the brain but is backed up by independent soul.

    The resurrection of the dead is an inherent property of soul (given by God). God warranted that if a man will die he will resurrect, this warranty is a part of soul.

    Thus we have quite natural theory: God created agricultural robots (Gen. 1:15) Yahweh God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. with eternal warranty and backup.

    Soul consists of hope. I could better translate this word dream. That is soul consists of dreams. (Rom. 8:24) … we were saved in hope. Hope is one of the three the most stable things in the Universe: (1Cor. 13:13) … faith, hope, and love remain—these three (remain mean that these cannot be destroyed, that is these are preserved at such things as bursts or any other destruction). So our salvation is preserved in the most stable form, as a dream of God which cannot be destroyed. Salvation is hope.

    Note that I am speaking about soul mean the Greek word psyche, not Hebrew word nephesh.

  • Does Christ know the time of Second Come?

    Ancient Arians and modern Jehovah’s Witnesses claim that Christ is not God but a finite creature. They lack bold arguments supporting their opinion. We infer from Bible that Christ is God. Well, there are one exception: Mark 13:32. Its naive interpretation looks like a very strong argument supporting the position that Christ does not know all and therefore is not God.

    Well, the verse with the issue (Mr. 13:32) “But of that day or that hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” states that Son (that is Christ) does not know the day or hour of the Second Come of Christ. Isn’t it a very strong argument in regard of the position of Arians and Jehovah’s Witnesses?

    As I assert in the book End of Gospel, Gospel is tricky and we should know a trick to properly understand it.

    The answer is that Christ knows all except of He does not know Himself. The time of Second Come depends on Christ and Christ does not know things dependent on Himself.

    This is supported by Bible: (Mt. 11:27) “… No one knows the Son, except the Father; neither does anyone know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son desires to reveal him.” So Son (Christ) is known only by the Father not known by anyone else including Himself. Christ does not know Christ. When saying that Christ knows all, I mean that He knows all except of Himself (that is except of His own decisions). The time of Second Come is dependent on a decision of Christ and Christ does not know His decision ahead of time. This is meant saying that Christ does not know the time of His Second Come.

    So, OK, Christ knows all about the world but does not know ahead His own decision about the time of Second Come.
