WHY I CAN NO LONGER REMAIN AN EPISCOPALIAN

If you have read anything I have written, then you can ascertain that my views diverge from the traditional Christian views. I was confirmed into the Episcopal Church in 1976.

THE ATHEIST IS JUSTIFIED RATHER THAN MANY CHRISTIANS

Christians may act from a reward/punishment paradigm, that is, they expect the reward of Heaven if their lives are aligned properly (although some interpretations of Salvation negate this), and Hell, if not.

First, since the main translation we use is King James, we all have to understand that the 16th Century Anglicans compiled said translation with a slant,... Sign in to see full entry.
