I for one, enjoy History...not to prove anything to myself..but just to know.  Before I found BT I was reading as much as I could on early church history, even from a catholic website.  I wasn't looking for anything except history.  Maybe it is bcz I am a teacher.  sorry, but I don't feel its wrong to be reading up on early church "fathers".  Now if you are not settled in your heart what is true from scripture, I wouldn't be looking for deep spiritual answers anywhere BUT scriptures.

Is it Ninny or Linny that has that really cool quote under their name....about when Christianity came to Rome....etc....well, that is History and interesting.

When newbies come calling w/ questions or help, they don't need to be put down or treated "less than" bcz they don't know everything yet.  I hope he is still reading this thread and not feeling...well...put down.

Ninny:
I agree Gena...and it's Linny who has the quote!!  ;)

Linny:
God had me studying Christian history (particularly Catholic) and getting a perspective there before He brought me here and it helped me immensely to see the truth in Ray's teachings.

I am like you Gena, a teacher with a need to see it and understand it from whence it came!
I will say however, that we have to be very careful about where we get the information we read. If it is out of Babylon, we can bet many (most) times it isn't true.

For now Lupac, why not spend your time reading Ray's info on history as it is definitely not out of Babylon and he has spent a great deal of time finding credible sources. Saves me a lot of time!  ;)

Hi Lupac,

I too researched early church teachings as a tool to contradict the teachings we see being taught today in the churches. I came across this but for the life of me I don't remember where.

There were six theological schools around 300-400AD, 4-taught universal reconciliation, 1-taught complete annihilation, and 1-taught eternal punishment.

I found this to be useful when I was debating with my ex-pastor (before I left the church)  ;D
