I in no wise meant to tell you what to believe. I only wished to present what The Peshitta says about Yeshua.
I do not believe in a torturing God Who sends people into everlasting Hell fire. I believe God is LOVE (1 John 4:8,16) and The Father of all- Ephesians 4:6.

I changed majors from Biology to Theology in the middle of my junior year and transferred to a Christian University to study for the ministry. I received a thoroughly fundamentalist education there which was very demanding and rigorous compared to other secular schools, but forbade independent thought. Academically , they would excel most schools, I have no doubt. They regularly debated Evolution vs. Creationism at other prestigious Universities and would never lose a debate.

I have since renounced the "Funny mentalist" aspects of their teachings- eternal damnation for non believers, separation from other groups that believe differently, the rapture doctrine, original sin, etc.. I do believe in Jesus Christ as the Divine Son of God and that the Bible is His revelation to mankind. I simply have found a new way of understanding it which is very liberating , life giving and healing.
I condemn no one. Our Father in Heaven loves all people as He loves Himself and His Son. God laid down His Life for us to rescue us, and rescue us He did. He will reveal that in due time to each soul.
(AV) Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 1 John 3:16

Please do not think of me as anything other than a brother and friend. I know God's love for you is greater than anything imaginable. I hope I have not done anything to cloud that reality.

If you choose not to believe the above theology, I understand that as well. I only mean to show you that I have no ax hidden behind my back.

Grace and Peace to you,

Dave
