Theological Discussions – SHILOH'S TABERNACLE CENTER

Greetings to all of you!

Allow me to introduce to you the purpose and the goal of this particular page.

A thought worth our attention: “And the great dragon …, that old serpent, calledthe Devil, and Satan, which deceives the whole world…” (Rev.12:9). This is an ever present reality and danger. We need to be honest with ourselves and accept the fact that whether we realize or not some of the things that we as believers hold to be absolute truths actually may be nothing less than inherited or personally acquired and developed human reasoning, philosophy, and cultural traditions. There is no individual or community of believers that are exempt from this reality and danger. The Lord Himself warned us: “False christs and false prophets shall rise …. to deceive, if it were possible, even the elect.” (Mark 13:22). True believers, rather than consuming their energies in fighting each other by trying to prove the superiority of their beliefs, should better create a common front to make sure that they are not among the deceived and help each other to victory. Their utmost purpose in life should be the vindication of God’s character, the main reason of the existing universal controversy between God and Satan.

Purpose: Through a profound study of the Holy Writings, and a dialogue with each of you, we intend to tackle spiritual issues that for one reason or another have been buried by preconceived ideas, superstition, tradition, and ancient or modern religious cultures. We would love to hear even from our non-believing friends, since you are at the center of our love and duty. After all, you are our brethren, and our destiny is tied together.

Goal: We want, based on the Holy Writings, to make sure that our faith is based on: “Thus says the Lord,” “It is written,” or “The mouth of the Lord has spoken,” a faith that will create the only acceptable relationship between the Creator and us, those created in His image, a relationship that will insure man his eternity. People from all races, social statuses, genders, and beliefs, each of you that is, are those whom we wait for and expect to become part of this great project.
