FAQ

Q: What is "Biblical Unitarianism"?

A: Biblical Unitarianism isn't to be confused with "Unitarian Universalism," or the idea that all faiths worship the same "god," and that everybody "goes to Heaven." Rather, Biblical Unitarianism is a Bible-based theology that identifies the Father (Yahweh/ Jehovah) as the only Supreme and Almighty God, Creator of the Heaven and Earth. The term "Socinian" is a synonym for "Biblical Unitarianism." "Socinianism" is starkly contrasted with "Trinitarianism," or the idea that God is "three persons" who share an "essence." B.U.s don't recognize Jesus as a second distinct person of a so-called Trinity; therefore, they don't recognize Jesus as co-equal with the Father--thus, he isn't God. 

Q: What distinguishes your meetings from other groups?

A: We meet in houses. We're very simplistic in our meetings. Note: we typically do Book studies--chapter-by-chapter, verse-by-verse. Occasionally, we'll deviate and focus on a specific topic.

We aren't liturgical or creedal.

Q: Do I have to attend on Saturday to study with you?

A: While we would love for you to join us on Sabbath, we're willing to arrange other times to study in our effort to disciple all those who genuinely seek the truth. We just ask for "reasonable notice." There's no limit to how often the brethren can meet. We just recognize the Seventh Day is more solemn than others and have our main assembly then.

Q: What exactly do you believe? 

A: We don't post doctrinal statements because we don't believe in "Creeds." We prefer to have these conversations in person, but we also understand not everyone is going to sift through all our posts and read them just to figure out what we believe. We also don't have a blog post related to every possible subject we believe. So, here we'll just supply a short list of statements and doctrines to give you an idea. We also linked you to articles we feel answer the specifics of each point. This isn't a conclusive list of all we believe.

What We Believe (Note: our guest writers may or may not affirm these specific points)

• The Father (Yahweh/ Jehovah) alone is God, the only Creator.
• Jesus (Yeshua) is the son of God. He was sent to proclaim the Gospel of the Kingdom, to die for the redemption and ransom, and as an example for, his people, and be bodily resurrected as our hope. He isn't God in the flesh. He didn't preexist his conception and birth. He was 100 percent man and only man. 
• The Kingdom of God is "at hand," meaning it's both present in the lives of believers but will also someday, finally, be established on earth.
• Jesus called and ordained 12 men to be apostles. One of them betrayed the Lord Jesus and was replaced by Matthias. We reject the so-called "apostle" Paul.
• All who want to follow Jesus should strive to keep God's commandments.
• It's impossible for disciples of Jesus to serve as military/ police personnel; to serve as jurors; to swear oaths/ pledges of allegiance; to vote in local, state, and/ or federal elections.
• That men and women should be separate in appearance. Men should have beards; women should have long hair.
• That the "Christian" holidays of Christmas and Easter, and other Catholic/ Protestant Feasts, are pagan and abominable.
• People "sleep" unconsciously in the grave until the resurrection. There is no departure to "hell fire" or "Heaven" immediately upon death.
• Jesus' words are the end of the Father's inspiration. Jesus' words are the ultimate revelation of God's will for mankind; that by following Jesus' teachings and example, we follow the Restored and Truest Torah of God.
• The Kingdom diet is vegan/ vegetarian. Blood-shedding (sacrifices) and meat eating was and is pagan. 

Q: Why do you reject the Apostle Paul? How can you even call yourself a Christian?

A: There are several reasons to reject Apostate Paul. One of which is the fact he doesn't technically fit the qualifications for Apostle as they're related by Peter, the one whom Jesus personally selected to feed the sheep and who received the keys to the Kingdom for binding and loosing. There are several more reasons why in this free web-book. 

To the second question, I don't call myself "Christian" for several reasons. One reason is the fact that most Christians worship a false idol called the "Holy Trinity." Another reason is that they worship on (keep) a false sabbath called Sunday. Another strong reason is because much of Christianity is founded on Paul's teachings derived from his epistles. Another reason is their mixture of the state, nationalism, and patriotism with that of the Kingdom of God.  

Many don't know this, but there have always been messianic people who rejected Paul, beginning in the first century, and even among the Anabaptists (see The Ebionites and Adam Pastor as examples, respectively).
