Subject: Re: Steve Bil's vision for Florida Bible College Author: QUITTNER [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 05/ 6/05 12:20pm In reply to: TTOTLEM 's message, "Re:" on 05/ 5/05 9:33am I wrote: >>1) What would Jesus want to do?

Then, I suppose, students were required to follow the teachings of the many writers of the bible's many books, not the teachings of Jesus. >>2) Do the teachings reflect exactly, and only, the teachings of Jesus? << >Yes< ..... The teachings of Jesus are NOT the teachings of the bible writers. Which is/was it? >>3) Are there any teachings that were taken from ancient mythologies, such as referring to the ancient Egyptian gods Horus, Osiris, and/or Isis? << >That is not the issue at hand here.< ..... Then you obviously do NOT know the origin of some of the contents of the bible. >>4) Are there any teachings from non-Jesus sources, such as from Mithraism that was partly absorbed by Christianity?<< >Ibid< ..... Ibid >>5) Are all the teachers members of the "Kingdom of God" as defined by Jesus?<< >Yes, Dr. Cambron often taught the differences between the KOG and the KO Heaven< ..... The "Kingdom of God" was a community in the there and then with a communal lifestyle as partly described in Acts 2 and Acts 4. I think it is unlikely that ALL, or even any, of the teachers of that Bible College were members of that kind of community. ..... After Jesus was crucified by the Romans many changes were made to the FIRST version of Christianity, the one by Jesus, resulting in many unauthorized denominations/versions of Christianity. Ancient mythology was added, and also bits and pieces from other belief systems. ..... Jesus insisted on high quality of all Christians, but that aim was changed after the crucifixion to maximize the quantity of members, never mind their quality.
