Posted on October 6, 2015 by Pete Rambo

Distinct? Or, United? (God in a box.)

Posted on December 27, 2013 by Pete Rambo

In a recent online conversation, several Christian pastors were trying to force me to subscribe to their particular understanding of the nature of Yeshua and how they believe the Godhead fits together.  Predictably, because I didn’t use or agree with … Continue reading →
