Cathars, Gnosticism, and the Eucharist Debate

Last updated on: December 31, 2025 at 2:08 pm By William Hemsworth

Yet at their core, the Cathars rejected foundational Christian teachings, including the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. To understand why, we first need to look at the worldview that shaped their beliefs. A Revival of Ancient Gnostic Themes Catharism was a dualistic movement.... Read more

Last updated on: November 29, 2025 at 8:01 pm By William Hemsworth

The book of Jeremiah is one of the most gripping, emotional, and theologically rich works in the entire Old Testament. Jeremiah didn’t preach during calm times or seasons of spiritual renewal—he lived and ministered during one of the most chaotic, politically violent, and spiritually confused periods in Israel’s history. When we read Jeremiah with an understanding of the world he lived in, we begin to see why his message feels so raw, so urgent, and so heartbreakingly relevant for us... Read more
