"Jesus Christians"

There has been an interesting development. The people I have mentioned in my previous two posts have been exposed as being part of the same religious group.

Previously any suggestion that they were in any way connected had been deflected with mocking references to “conspiracies”.

They are a group who live in community. New members are required to sell their possessions and hand the proceeds over to the community. (Hence their means of support without paid work).

They promote the belief that Jesus alone is “the Word of God” and that while scripture is inspired it can be fallible. Therefore they can promote their interpretation of Jesus teaching without reference to anything else in scripture.
