Is Jesus the Christ a human Person?

Do you attend a local church in South Africa @Johann? Do you watch the services of a church on television? Do you listen to church programs on radio?

If so, could you share with us some names of who those churches are?

I appreciate your difficult financial situation and I’m sensitive to it since learning of it. I did a search on the Internet and found multiple sources which claim to offer the book at no cost in PDF format.

Then please provide the links brother-and thank you for being sensitive re my financial position-I don't want to come across as begging.

Churches here in South Africa are lukewarm, painfully so-but have found Dr. Bob Utley from Texas, a Baptist minister in hermeneutics and learning daily from him. I receive e mails from the team


before that I was involved in a outreach ministry called The Ark in Durban-me and my wife, Non-denominational-same ministry as David Wilkerson.

I don't have a television so don't watch services ON television.
I don't have a radio brother-just me and this Computer and my Bible.

Johann.

Thanks. When you listen to Dr. Utley you are listening to an orthodox trinitarian.

I understand. I worked in many areas in southeast Africa where there were no televisions, radios or computers. In some cases, there were not even any Bibles in the village.

Ufumu wa Mulungu -> the only phrase I knew in Chichewa before I went to Malawi. I had to work with a translator who was a native Malawian.

Absolutely correct-it is getting worse.
I couldn't download the source you gave in PDF format-I have to go through hoops and still battling.
Will see if @civic can assist.
Thanks brother-now you know how I live.

I’ve lost contact with most of the people I knew over there.

You asked me recently if I had read Two Powers In Heaven by Segal. Remembering that now gave me an idea for you: Internet Archive. They have an enormous number of books which can be read online at no cost.

Here, for example, is a link to Two Powers In Heaven.

Unfortunately, they don’t have Dr. Brown’s book. You can search their site for many authors and titles that will be of great interest and value to you.

I was pretty certain that you did. The reason I mentioned it, and provided a link to it, was solely for the purpose of bringing to your attention archive.org.

It’s a great resource. And it’s free to anyone who has access to the Internet.

There are more books available at the site than you would ever be able to read in the remainder of your lifetime.

@civic might want to consider adding this to the recommended resource lists (with or without caveats) he offers to members and readers of this forum. I think it would be a good service to all.

Since I know nothing re Orthodoxy some directives as to what I should be looking for would be of tremendous help.
Here is my dilemma brother-a brother from overseas helped me obtaining two paid modules on my e sword, but never heard from him again-also, as I have said on occasions, we are having regular power outs in South Africa-twice a day, lasting 2 hours and in some areas up to 10 hours.
But I have said enough.
You say one thing, and @civic another and I am "somewhere in the middle" a bit perplexed.
Thanks for the assistance @Matthias.
Johann.

My advice: Don’t let anyone do your thinking for you. Read as much as you can about the subject and then decide for yourself.

Read widely. Read deeply. Read thoughtfully. Read critically.

If some day you don’t remember me for anything else, remember me for this.

And if you don’t remember me at all, I hope you’ll remember my admonition on reading.

A cult will limit what and who you read and listen to. A cult will tell you what to think, what to believe, what to do.

While I’ve got your attention.

archive.org lists over 41 million titles in their system. (On a wide variety of topics.)

They have another site, which I’ve only used a couple of times, which has many titles published after 1927. The name of that website is Open Library. Here is a link to Open Library https://openlibrary.org/

I just checked Open Library. They have the 1984 edition of Dr. Brown’s book, but it’s currently only available to borrow in audio. The original title of his book is Heresies: The Image of Christ in the Mirror of Heresy and Orthodoxy from the Apostles to the Present.

They have that particular book available only on audio. You would have to listen to it rather than read it.
