κηρυσσων την βασιλειαν του θεου και διδασκων τα περι του κυριου ιησου χριστου μετα πασης παρρησιας ακωλυτως. The underlying meaning of this blog is this: the essential unity of Christians worldwide regardless of race, nationality, or religious denomination. There are real disagreements among us but there is a small remnant in every authentically Christian gathering. The Holy Spirit is leading His remnant into deeper understandings of the "meat" of the Gospel and not just the "milk."

Christian Heresies: Johannites
The Johannites were a Gnostic sect which said that John the Baptist, instead of Jesus Christ, was the saviour of mankind. They are survived in the modern day by the Mandaeans, a dualistic sect scattered from Iraq by the 2003 Iraq war. Before the war they numbered about 70,000 in Iraq, now about 5000 remain. The rest are primarily now in Jordan and Syria.
