Four Gospels

Universal Life Church The New Testament gospels of Mark, Matthew, Luke and John offer four remarkably similar accounts of the life and passion of Jesus Christ. Although the first gospel chronologically in the bible is Matthew, scholars generally contend that Mark is the earliest of the four accounts and that it functions as a major narrative source for the gospels

Four Gospels

Four Gospels by Rev. John Warner In taking this course I wasn’t sure what I hoped to gain from it. There were many questions about the new covenant, the changing from Mosaic Law, the first covenant, to the new. Within this understanding I was really puzzled in the reference to the Lamb of God. Who it was and why it

Shamanism Course

Shamanism In reviewing and studying the course as written by Pastor Pat, I was very interested in the approach he used in describing the essence of Shamanism.  Having been a person who has been interested in the workings of shaman and the ritual practices of such, I found the history as presented very informative and interesting.  The history does not

Online Ordination

 Universal Life Church At a young age I attended a Baptist Church, primarily because that’s what my parents professed to be at the time and where they chose to go. As I got older and began to think for myself, I questioned just about everything. I went from Agnostic to Atheist to Agnostic again and, after years of studying various

With pages and pages of notes and posts (some lost in the forum oblivion   :o)  and more ideas, experiments and happenings resulting from the course, it’s hard to put in a few words all the benefit this class has provided. From the

Comparative Religion

What you gained from this course? The main theme I learned from this course is a greater and more profound understanding of belief structures as a whole, both of the Eastern and Western view points. There is one particular section in chapter 19 where it speaks about “Saints” that has struck a resonating cord within me. If I may quote

Metaphysical Healing

The “Human Energy Fields” was as wonderfully detailed overview of the body and its many components. The energy fields and chakras discussion was vital for what was to come in the rest of the course. The added illustrations helped considerably in learning the material. The “How to do it” lesson is excellent. I firmly believe that if we cannot heal
