Are you willing to think for yourself and test what you have been taught?

The Biblical Heritage Center’s primary mission is to provide factual information that will help you make quality decisions in life, religion and spirituality. BHC is not a religious organization and thus requires no one to adhere to an official “Statement of Faith” or “Religious Creed,” but hopes and strongly suggests that you adopt our “Informed Believer’s Primary Guideline” -- no matter what your religious or spiritual background:

"My Belief System will be large enough to include all of the facts;
I will be open enough to allow it to be tested;
and I will be flexible enough to change it
when I become aware of errors or new facts."

How can one be committed to the “truth” if he or she excludes facts from their Belief System? If one refuses to allow his or her Belief System to be tested, how will they know if it contains erroneous information or lacks specific facts? Wouldn’t it be dishonest for a person to say that he or she values the truth the most, but refuses to change their Belief System when they become aware of errors or new facts?

The Biblical Heritage Center believes that the adoption of the Informed Believer’s Primary Guideline makes it possible for people with diverse Belief Systems from a wide range of cultures to join together in the an honest pursuit of truth about their heritages. Join others who are committed to testing their beliefs, first!


Let me know if you or your group is willing to make the Informed Believer's Guideline part of your Belief System.

We would like to know that you are committed to accuracy & fact-based truths and are willing to think for yourself and test what you have been taught. I would like to hear from you.

Why did they lay their coats at Saul's feet?

The witnesses, laying their coats at the feet of Saul, were the men that would cast the first stones at Stephen in Acts 7. Why did they all lay their coats at Saul’s feet? The Talmud contains a very interesting account of the act of stoning that may provide the answer. “When the trial was over, they take him [the condemned person] out to be stoned. The place of stoning was at a distance from the court, as it is said, ‘Take out the one who has cursed.’ [i] A man stands at the entrance of the court; in his hand is a signaling flag [Hebrew   sudarin = sudar , ‘scarf, sweater’]. A horseman was stationed far away but within sight of him. If one [of the judges] says, ‘I have something [more] to say in his favor,’ he [the signaler] waves the   sudarin , and the horseman runs and stops them [from stoning him]. Even if [the condemned person] himself says, ‘I have something to say in my favor,’ they bring him back, even four of five times, only provided that there is some substance to...

The First Truth Claim of the Wisdom of Genesis

  From a Persian’s point of view, to be an Israelite meant one worshipped the Israelite god and followed Israelite religious customs. This meant that it was in the best interest of the Persian state for the formal worship of the god in the kingdom in Judah to continue undisturbed and in accordance with the proper rules of the Torah. However, I seriously doubt the Persian king new anything about how different the Temple in Jerusalem was from other temples.
