I'm not going to get into arguments, but I'll highlight the disagreement. I don't think anyone here would just dismiss a "Gospel" of Mary the mother of Jesus. The question is whether or not something CALLED that IS that. I mean, I could write "the adolescent gospel of Thaddeus- the adventures of Jesus when he was a teen". Then someone could come along and say "Thaddeus was one of Jesus' 12 Apostles! This should be taken as seriously as Matthew!" Yet I don't think anyone thinks that person would be CORRECT to say so, So, where we disagree on such books is in whatever standard we use to determine whether it is canon, or just an old book written by someone who came along centuries later. And THAT would be a whole discussion on its own, in Doctrinal. But that's where the disagreement lies. Carry on, everyone.

I was but a child when I experience this personally. You accept Christ as Lord. If you start dissecting it up like that you get into all sorts of questions that basically lead to people questioning whether they are "born again", "saved", whether they fulfilled that phrase exactly, or not. It's not a rune that you have to read with the right pronunciation, otherwise, no power is energized. You have a desire in your heart. God knows this. You carry out that acceptance in prayer in some fashion. God is not going to sit up there and say "whoops - you got the password phrase wrong, try again - only 3 attempts left". With respect to the resurrection, I'm not sure how there is any logical sense to making a dead man Lord in your life. But I guess there's still Nirvana cover bands with people aspiring to be like Kurt Cobain musically, right?

It's his own personal take on what the mark of the beast is. He offers no solid historical or scriptural basis for his opinion.

Since this is a DISCUSSION FORUM, would anyone (especially the original poster) care to share something about the guy in the video, or the content of the video? I'm not a big fan of a video link dump with no explanation as to why I should watch it or even how long it is.
