In the life of the individual man, virtue is the sole good; such things as health, happiness, possessions, are of no account… Epicurus believed that the greatest good was to seek modest pleasures in order to attain a state of tranquility and freedom from fear That Jesus never ever came back from death and that all was just a hoax!

Refers to initiatives aimed at greater religious unity or cooperation. To have fellowship regardless of your believes or practices. One who follows or practice the Roman Catholic Religion and not that from the Bible. One who follows or practice the doctrine of John Calvin and Not that one from the Bible. Is the belief that Christ will literally reign on the earth for 1,000 years at His second coming Is the belief that men can be saved by “only” faith in God, without the obedient faith.

Food, entertainments and distractions are the main practices of this new doctrine. Means, "an inclination to rely on or place too much value on emotion." Regardless to what the Bible teaches. reason The teachings that there are others “reason” for divorce and remarriage rather than the one's Jesus mentioned.

Also they argue that temptation is unavoidable. We are doomed to sin. Theistic evolution is an unwarranted compromise and a denial of the record of creation (Genesis 1-2). Many are preaching that the days of Genesis are true, but that they were not ONE DAY like ours, but rather, each day represent billions and billions of years Tolerance with respect to the actions and beliefs of others. Official recognition of the rights of individuals and groups to hold dissenting opinions, especially on religion. Don’t you ever say: “We speak where the Bible Speak…”
