Thanks Dell and everyone else, I really appreciate you all.
Where Anna and I have landed is that we will do church, but we want to find one together that actually works for both of us. For her, church is mainly about community and fellowship, which I respect. For me, I need to be able to genuinely tolerate (and ideally enjoy) being there on…

Shawn, genuine question I’d really value your thoughts on:
You’ve often said you’re not political, and that your focus is firmly on following Yeshua rather than earthly systems. I respect that deeply. I’m trying to understand whether you see that as a personal calling, or whether you believe followers of Christ in general should avoid…

He did a 2 part series in hotm that was really impactful that may relate, I believe it was called “Making a covenant with death.”

Thanks so much for the encouragement, I really appreciate it.
Yes, definitely frustrated. The Pentecostal space is what I find the hardest. For example, when Bible study ends with speaking in tongues and there’s pressure for everyone to participate, I usually just stay silent. It’s often seen as “going to the next level,” but honestly, I find…

Shawn, in a recent Facebook thread on an older post, you referred to the Mormon Church as an “empire of death.”
What did/do you mean by that, especially in light of your more recent realizations? Do you still see it that way, or would you now maybe describe it as just another false religion, where individuals may or may not be practicing a…

@Kim @WMc @Lanigame As Shawn mentioned in the call in hour, we are so thankful for your responses here. It has been really cool getting Yeshuans going, and being in company with some real-freaking-deal people here. Thank you all for the comments and participation.
@Haydos Of course you as well. I imagine that it’s really difficult, especially…

Delaney replied to the discussion What the… hell? in the forum General Forum 2 months ago
We actually just discussed this question to some degree on the call in yesterday! There are some very serious associations people make between hell and living as a believer, and it takes so so long to detangle – especially if you are really focused on it.
First off – to me, it is really important that this perspective is NOT a “disbelief” in…

Reply to LDS: No more KJV-Only!
I think it’s great too, and might be a vehicle for people to come closer to truth from within the institution without as much difficulty!
@Kim I definitely have the same natural responses to these updates. As long as the institution is an institution, its actions will always be out of preserving that system rather than being to help…

I was recently challenged with this question and would love some insight on how folks in here would respond if you were asked the same:
“I personally don’t want anyone to perish in hell. I know you don’t really believe in hell but I guess I don’t understand what you believe Jesus is saving you from if not. Like if he’s just saving us from a…

Reply to Raising Children in a Fulfilled Framework
Just to add one more thought to this discussion, Sarah Young mentioned on the call-in show that churches often use fear to control their members. A common example is Pentecostal churches constantly emphasising “Jesus is coming soon” and tying current world events to Revelation. That’s something I’m very strongly against and genuinely…
