Holy Ghost Holy Spirit
1,442 wordsOn May 20, 325 AD the world was forever changed. Emperor Constantine called a meeting of the 318 Bishops at Nice and on that day they instituted one of the greatest flaws of American religion today.

In the past, the belief systems of most people were acquired directly from their parents as they grew up. Countless generations clung to their inherited beliefs with great tenacity, vigorously promoting them as bequeathed truth. Yet in the vast majority of cases, the origin of these beliefs was not based on fact, but rather on supposition or hearsa...

Christian Science Holy Spirit
2,400 wordsOf all the biblically based cults in America, Christian Science is one of the most interesting. Not only does it deny the essential doctrines of Christianity, but it has also completely reinterpreted the Bible. It redefines the Bible s culture and terminology, and rips thousands of scriptures out of their historical and Biblical context. Christian Science is a non-Christian mixture of metaphysical and philosophical thoughts. Christian Science is so foreign to the Bible, that if did not use words...

Roman Catholics Mary Magdalene
2,552 wordsDid Jesus Have Brothers and Sisters? -by Tony Warren When we carefully consider the Biblical record, the question itself seems quite ridiculous, because it is so clear even from the context of many of the scriptures that He did.
