Re: A passage that describes spiritual abuse

The moment a person (or government or religion or organization) is convinced that God is either ordering or sanctioning a cause or project, anything goes. The history, worldwide, of religion-fueled hate, killing, and oppression is staggering The shunning, the judgment, the ostracism of family and f...

Re: The Gospel According to Vic Hall

I keep coming back to this thread...again and again. Thank you Faith and thank you Boundry Rider for putting out the truth of vic's false gospel in such a succinct way. I found an old copy of Upon This Rock published in 1999. In the preface, Vic gives his "testimony" on that day/night of h...

Re: Cult-Like Narcissistic Systems

Yes, very familiar. The language used to justify all these corrupt activities is heretical but you can’t question or argue against the elders!!!

Re: A passage that describes spiritual abuse

Here's the intro to Amos from "The Message". More people are exploited and abused in the cause of religion than in any other way. Sex, money, and power all take a backseat to religion as a source of evil. Religion is the most dangerous energy source known to humankind. The moment a person ...

Re: A passage that describes spiritual abuse

There’s an Introduction in the Book of Amos (maybe ‘The Message’ version) that describes spiritual abuse quite powerfully.

I’ve tried to fine it but haven’t been able to. Maybe someone could help with this resource.

Re: The theology of 'planting'

I wondered the same thing, but it seems there have been dedications using this wording after the ‘agape meal’ had been introduced. I think it’s because they would describe all who are part of the ‘agape meal’, as ones who are a part of ‘this communion table’. It’s my understanding that the general t...
