Cut off from the foundational knowledge of the context of "deification/glorification" the Western Christian Structure reads the scriptures through a veil blinding them to the true story. They take many things literally or in non-contextual distortions, and totally ignore most of Scripture, not understanding its meaning. What is Salvation and Redemption? How did the early Church understand it? Let us start with the elementary teaching of Saint Paul. Paul talked and wrote about salvation as "freedom from the bondage of the Law, meaning the Mosaic Law, the bondage of that part of the Ancient Law that the Mosaic Law represented. He said the chief enemies of humanity are sin, death, and the Law, that is, the Law of Moses. Since Saul/Paul was a second temple Pharisee we can assume that when he was speaking about "the Law" he was speaking about primarily the Levitical statutes, the 600 plus commandments that constituted the backbone of the Hebrew religion, over and a

ODE 1 Everlasting King, Your will for our salvation is full of power. Your right arm controls the whole course of human life. We give You thanks for all Your mercies, seen and unseen: For eternal life, for the heavenly joys of the Kingdom which is to be. Grant mercy to us who sing Your praises, both now and in the time to come. Glory to You, O God, from age to age. IKOS 1 I was born a weak, defenseless child, but Your angel spread his wings over my cradle to defend me. From birth until now, Your love hasillumined my path, and has wondrously guided me towards the light of eternity. From birth until now the generous gifts of Your Providencehave been marvelously showered upon me. I give You thanks, with all who have come to know You, who call upon Your Name: Glory to You for calling me into being. Glory to You, showing me the beauty of the universe. Glory to You, spreading out before me heaven and earth, like the pages in a book of eternal wisdom. Glory to You fo

russian-faith.com The Rapture: An American Prosperity Gospel (Orthodoxidation) Sep 20, 2023 | 1700 words 106 0 9–11 minutes At this point in redemptive history, nearly most of the educated Christian world has heard of or has been taught of the impending Rapture—the glorious day in which the Lord will take up His Elect and deliver them from the Great Tribulation to follow. During the time of the Great Tribulation, according to what has been coined as “Dispensational Premillennial [pretribulational]” eschatology, men and women will have one final opportunity to repent and believe on Christ before Christ’s inevitable return, and before the commencement of the thousand-year literal reign of Christ and the Church on earth. Of course, like all theological frameworks, Dispensational Premillennialism [pretribulational] can

Heresy and Apostasy create wounded and sometimes bitter ex-Christians. Our society is full of ex-catholics, and ex-fundamentalists, most who abandon Christianity altogether, wounded from the lies they were told and the scoundrels they were taught were "great men of God." This excellent piece about the author of the Scofield Reference Bible, Scofield being one of the "lights" of the modern Christian heresy called "Dispensationalism" was written by such a wounded person, she does not identify herself as ex-Christian rather as a "biblical skeptic" she says,  "I am a married mother of three in Wichita. I enjoy writing, learning, cooking, travel, theatre, cinema, and creating a nurturing space for my family. And I am passionate about making the world a fairer place, especially for women and children. After decades of devoting myself to the claims of the Bible, I am now a happy skeptic."  That skepticism produced a very fine art

What follows is a sophisticated call to "Sound Doctrine" by a sincere Christian Sola-Scriptura heretic. I wasn't going to name the fellow, but because of the graphics, his name is included. I don't want anyone to think that I am picking on him; I'm merely using his very well-written articles as a foil to teach a lesson about how the most intricate, well-constructed Sola Scriptura theologies create dialectical dichotomies that destroy the fullness of the Gospel message and remove people from the strength of the Christian Faith. Marvin Powers has a Ph.D., from a famous university, and to show the complete cognitive dissonance of his spiritual formation, he is also, according to his FaceBook page, a "Certified Consulting Hypnotist." I don't doubt his sincerity, but his lack of Christian formation is apparent.
