Most English-speaking members of the body of Christ tend to consider the less literal translations of Scripture (including the King James Version) to be extremely inaccurate, with a fair number of books, articles, and videos having been published by some of these members over the years which argue that the KJV itself is a harmful Bible… Continue reading Reading the KJV concordantly

Why Christ died, and why He had to die
As everybody should know by now, “Christ died for our sins” (and, of course, He was buried and rose again the third day as well), as Paul wrote in order to explain what the Good News (meaning the Gospel) he proclaimed is. Please don’t confuse this as meaning that Christ died in our place, receiving the… Continue reading Why Christ died, and why He had to die
Why do we sin and die?
Most Christians are under the impression that we die because we sin, and that our sin is entirely our fault, and many of them also somehow apply the guilt of Adam’s sin to us at the exact same time. Well, the apostle Paul actually blamed our death on that very man — Adam — rather… Continue reading Why do we sin and die?
No, the earth isn’t flat
I can’t believe I have to make this post, but some of the members of the body of Christ have made the same mistake that many traditional, evangelical Christians have made in recent years as well, and have concluded that the earth is flat, as well as that everything we know about outer space is… Continue reading No, the earth isn’t flat
Jesus did NOT preach the salvation of all
This often comes as a surprise when I bring it up to many members of the true body of Christ, as well as to other Universalists, but no, Jesus did not preach the salvation of all humanity during His earthly ministry. That’s not to say He didn’t teach the salvation of all at a later time, but He only did… Continue reading Jesus did NOT preach the salvation of all
Can a member of the body of Christ believe in “free will”?
[Please note that I put “free will” in quotation marks because it’s a nonsensical concept that can’t actually exist in reality. This article wasn’t written to prove that fact, though, nor was it written to prove that God is ultimately in control of all things, at least from an absolute perspective (including all sinful and/or… Continue reading Can a member of the body of Christ believe in “free will”?
Fellowship, and keeping doctrine in its place
I’ve only been a member of the church called the body of Christ for a little over 7 years now, but I’ve known, or at least have been acquainted with, various members of the body of Christ for decades now thanks to my time as a traditional Christian Universalist prior to getting saved, and I’ve… Continue reading Fellowship, and keeping doctrine in its place
Did God create the universe out of nothing?
Most Christians believe the Bible teaches that God created the universe out of nothing. Aside from the fact that it’s entirely impossible to create anything out of nothing, this idea (which is a concept that is generally referred to as “creatio ex nihilo”) isn’t actually taught anywhere in Scripture anyway, so simply put, no, He… Continue reading Did God create the universe out of nothing?
What is a feigned believer?
As you may know, not every member of the true body of Christ uses the King James Version of the Bible. In fact, the truth is that the majority of English-speaking members of the true body of Christ tend to prefer using a more literal version, known as the CLV (the Concordant Literal Version), and… Continue reading What is a feigned believer?
Why I’m not Roman Catholic (or Eastern Orthodox)
The reason I’m not Roman Catholic is really quite simple (although if you want the proof of my reason, it will require some homework on your part): There’s just no way to reconcile Roman Catholic doctrine with Scripture. (The same goes for Eastern Orthodox doctrine, but I’m just going to refer to Roman Catholicism throughout… Continue reading Why I’m not Roman Catholic (or Eastern Orthodox)
