Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

[amigo de christo]

They are 18 inches away from salvation. They need to get the information out of their heads and into their heart. Unfortunately, the knowledge is stuck in their head and didn't make it 18 inches lower into their heart.

It depends on what that info is . Many seem to have what they call a heart knoweldge
only that so called heart knowledge contradicts biblical knowledge .
they sure seem to be IN LOVE with a love that sure do contradict certain things in that there bible .
THERE is what appears to be a WHOLE TON of heart knoweldge
in them but the problem is that heart knowledge dont want much to do with words in that bible
that contradicts the version of love they desire to believe is love , is truth .
MANY have no love of the truth in them . ONLY a love rather for twisted truths that support THE SO CALLED TRUTH
they so desire to be TRUTH . hope that friendly reminders helps us to understand WE GOT US A MEGA PROBLEM
within Christendom .

The YouTube interviewer hasn't got the knowledge to ask the right questions. The "scholars" have to know about Jesus. You can be an Old Testament scholar and specializing in Temple worship, but that's nothing if you don't know Jesus. If I were interviewed, I would be saying Jesus this, and Jesus that, and the Holy Spirits presence in me. These people don't do that.

This is a common reaction to these scholars.
But in every case they did in fact have the heart knowledge.
This is obvious if you listen to their video testimony.
These are not just academics that never got past their learning to meet their savior.
These believers hit a wall at some point and had to reconsider.

Scholars can be wrong....most likely...in this instance.
Remember scriptures...in the end times there will be great deceptions.

What info led to that conclusion...droves?.....

From the OP:

Bible scholars are leaving Christianity in droves. Why?
Not because they don't understand the Bible, obviously. (they're Bible scholars)

- Do you have to be Christian to believe in God?
- Do you have to agree with the institutional church's positions to believe in God?

Previous topic on this subject.

Leaving Room for Faith - why we don't know EVERYTHING

At one time I was bothered by the fact that we don't really have ALL the answers. There was always a loose end somewhere. I chased the apologetics in every direction, but always came up short somewhere. And frankly, I don't remember the specifics, only the moment of my release from the tyranny...

Where are the numbers to conclude..."droves"?

Scriptures of end times..."there will be a falling away."......

Scriptures of end times..."there will be a falling away."......

Falling away from what?
God, or the institutional church?

Spirit of unbelief at work.

Are they wrong though?

Do you believe everything the church fed you?

It's happening as part of the sociological influence narrative.

I believe ...both. But, pointedly...God.. That is what he was eluding to.....!!!

No....not the new age religion bible editions and teaching...crap.

Depends what kind of "church" you are talking about.

The " University" danger: -------> Lack of Holy Spirit Guidance.

To much "brain" work....if you know what I mean by that.....:-)

I don’t believe most actually leave the faith. I also don’t believe most of the find the Bible incompatible with science and history. Instead they find that a biblical interpretation that treats scripture as historical and scientific is incompatible. They leave behind a specific form of Christianity and find another. Sometimes the inside to drop the terms Christian because of the baggage now tied up into it and it’s easier to identify as another type of faith that upholds God and Jesus. Many are just accused of leaving the faith because conservative fundamentalist don’t accept anything but their watered down faith.

Like in many. Many constantly say I’m not a Christian, or that I do t believe in God or the
Bible when the truth is I just don’t believe in their interpretation of it. My faith is very much intact and strong.

I believe.....Well?....There's a few ways I guess!

One of them being "You're NOT saved if you DON'T believe in the SAME Jesus "I/WE" believe in!"
Fair enough! For "them" I guess! As God gives everyone a "certain" measure of faith, of the which, Christianity (in general) RIGOROUSLY seeks out in their "doing" of the "Great Commission" MOST times to the "undoing" (watering down) of their OWN faith! (PERSONALLY as well as COLLECTIVELY in many "Assembling s of believers!)
Which can be found in Ezekiel 13:19 (KJV) specifically in the making of this particular point I'm trying to make here.
And generally the whole 13th chapter of Ezekiel, to not only the nation of Israel "back in the day", but in these days as well!

I'm telling y'all? It's HARD to IMPOSSIBLE in the TELLING of about the Kingdom of Heaven and Kingdom of Light, not just for Israel "back in the day" as is recorded in the Bible, and ALSO witnessed and recorded by Paul as "the GREAT Apostasy" (which it IS, or more correctly? Which it HAS BECOME!......watered down) Into nice little chewed up chunks of MEAT WITHOUT the losing the "there's SO MUCH MORE!!"

Because? It takes a MUCH LARGER "Spiritual House", not built by hands, but BY Spiritual Sacrifices ACCEPTABLE TO GOD BY CHRIST JESUS OF NAZARETH! Just in the UNDERSTANDING (or SEEING as Jesus told Nicodemus) OF the VASTNESS of ETERNITY "compared" to the FINITENESS of THIS being "born of woman" in flesh on earth for people who can't even remember what they had for breakfast!

That being said? (another point)
SOME of these "scholars" are going through (or trying to....call it the "Pressing ON to the HIGH CALLING OF GOD) "the" process of what is called: "The FIRST RESURRECTION!"
Of the which? is SEEN as Insurrection (or lost) by mainstream! (see Ezekiel 13:22 KJV)

Yes!!
Cus when one "Learns" THIS?

Isaiah 28:
9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.

10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:

Then? One "sees" THIS!:

Isaiah 28:

8 For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean.

One ALSO "sees" THIS!:
Isaiah 28:

13 But the word of the Lord was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.


14 Wherefore hear the word of the Lord, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem. (Or? Christianity for that matter!)


15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:

And BECAUSE of this?
Tis a lonely road one travels!

Allow me if you will? To ask YOU a question.
As there are "orders" of priests (and one wonders where it is they got the term) in this physical/material realm (age), in which there are more then 1?
(question)
How many Priests are there in the "Order of Melchizedek?"

And does it "bother" you Yeshua was "chosen" to be Messiah?

Ok!.....Sorry!.....2 questions! (lol)

I place "advertisement" posts as promotions for my new topics. Usually on one of my own topics.

If you have a topic idea, you can launch a topic. Do you know how?

Otherwise, I am open to topic ideas. Although I may twist it into something you didn't intend. - LOL

You can only know God, through his Living word..there is no other way to know that God exists..

In one’s spirit that is..you can look at creation and believe it’s Gods creation, in one’s own human understanding.

To truly know that God exists...then one must be Born Of The Spirit..
