Of all the armies that ever marched,
Of all the navies that ever were built,
Of all the parliaments that ever sat,
And all the kings that ever reigned, put together,
None have affected the life of humanity upon this earth
as powerfully as that one solitary life.
But who was this man from Nazareth? What did he teach and believe? Why is he such a vital figure in world history?
Here at AllFaith.com I consider this question from several different perspectives.
In this section you will find many of my studies that embrace a more standard Christian theological perspective.

Inclusive Christianity
Here the topic of homosexuality and the Bible is discussed in detail. Does the Bible really condemn committed, monagamous same gender marraiges? You may be surprised!

- For thirty-five years, The Rev. Dr. Mel White struggled to "overcome" his homosexual orientation through prayer, fasting, various aversive therapies, exorcism, and even electric shock. A victim of misinformation and biblical misuse, Mel thought his same-sex orientation was a sickness and a sin. During those "closet years" Mel served the Christian church as a prize-winning television producer and filmmaker, a best-selling author, a pastor, seminary professor, and ghost writer to religious leaders including Billy Graham, Pat Robertson, and Jerry Falwell.

Branch Davidian Christianity
I am not now, nor was I ever a follower of David Koresh. This section is included here for two basic reasons:
In 1993:
1. The Branch Davidians paid for their faith in God with their lives and I honor that;
2. The US government's unjustifiable assault on and mass massacre of this religious community was an attack on the First Amendment rights of all Americans. Despite this, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Janet the Butcher Reno and the others responsible for this shameless premeditated murder went free. We should remember this atrosity! All the more since Hillary is trying to get the Clinton Traitors back in office!Hillary and her co-president said:
"I'm not going to have some reporters pawing through our papers. We are the president."
"We can't be so fixated on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary Americans.."

The goal of this web page is to allow you to have access to the most comprehensive list of original source material available on David Koresh and the Branch Davidians. The resources found here are from my personal archives compiled from over eight years of research. In addition to the original source material you will also find links to some of the most informative Waco Web Sites on the Internet.

Fundamentalist Christianity
The King James Only Debate
Which is the best (or even the "real") translation of the Bible? A translation is still only a translation. Unfortunately, even those who read Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic do not have the ability to read the Bible as it was originally written because there are NO ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPTS.
Does this matter? There are those who believe and teach that in a very special way God has preserved the WORD in the King James (or Authorized) Version as no where else. Much of Fundamentalist Christianity accepts this doctrine (not all). Here's a site which intelligently argues in favor of the King James Only Position. They offer a fair amount of evidence to support their position. There are also several links provided for more study.
Personally, I love the KJV. Its my version of choice without question. It is not however, in my understanding, a flawlessly accurate nor perfectly preserved version of the first century texts (nor of their predecessors). Also, the KJV which 99.9% of its adherents use today (including myself) IS NOT the 1611 KJV. Even those in the King James Only Camp are using later versions for the most part.

Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up, because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up, because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak up for me.
