A Peculiar People Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 29, 2021

The Reformers made it a major issue as they stressed the priesthood of all believers, but we still have not rid ourselves of the concept that the church is clergy centered.

Under the Roman system of slavery it was possible for an ambitious slave to gain his freedom.

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Jul 5, 2010

In Christianity we have God revealed to us in a way that none other can claim, as a God who gives up his own life to bring all people back to himself.

It uses much of his argument though with various additions by myself. I guess we’re all aware of the Atheists’ conference held in Melbourne in February. You may even ...read more
