EARLY TORCHBEARER CHRISTIANS

Not all Bibles are based upon the same Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek texts; so what is the most reliable Bible and why? The quest to answer this critical question launched an investigation resulting in the creation of The Torchbearer Series.

Early Torchbearer Christians were to carry and preserve the truth of God’s Word, and impart the Torch of knowledge, information, and truth to others; even when it often resulted in their suffering or death.

It is through these vilified and persecuted Early Torchbearer Christian groups known as the Waldenses, Albigenses, Leonists, Cathari, Puritans, Piphles, Patarines, Lollards, Valdensian Christians, etc. that will enable us to answer many important questions, including the question that launched the series.

About the Series: This free three-part audio/video Bible lecture series is the result of thousands of hours of research, which includes supplemental lecture notes, charts, diagrams, and around 700 references. All of which is free! We have a great desire to share this crucial knowledge with anyone seeking it, regardless of their financial situation.

If you have an interest in volunteering time or donating money to extend our reach, please see the Volunteering & Donations section below.

The goal of this series is to dramatically increase your faith, trust, and love for God and his ways, whether you are a minister and know a great deal about the Bible, or a new budding Christian.

Torchbearer Series Certificates (now available) & Certifications

As of May, 16th 2021 The Torchbearer Series is offering certificate-of-completion courses:

Udemy no longer allows free extended-length classes, so all certificate-of-completion courses that we offer through Udemy are paid courses. Free non-certificate lecture versions of the same core material will always be available. Paid courses are intended for those who want to contribute financially or to show others they have core knowledge of this important material. If at some point we can fund courses through Myicourse.com, or a similar online learning system, we will then offer full-certification courses including a list of colleges that accept the transferable course credits. As of right now, you will need to ask the college how many credits they will award you based upon the Udemy courses and quizzes you have passed.

Biblical Calendars: Containing God’s Seven High Holy Feasts and More

For a time, we were publishing physical hard-copy paper calendars which contained God’s Seven High Holy Feasts, King James Version (KJV) Bible Quotes, 'Did You Know' Bible sections, USA Federal Holidays, Phases of the moon, Solar events, Unique images for each month, and Appendix sections containing additional information. We have since discontinued our calendars, but you may purchase a similar calendar from an unaffiliated organization called Galilee Calendars Ltd, which is located in Israel.

It is very important to get this information into the hands of those who are seeking answers, so they may have stronger faith, trust, and love for our beloved Lord Jesus Christ! If you are a non-worldly uncompromising pastor, always be prepared to move your church to diversified house churches if needed. If you are not a pastor, consider creating, coordinating, and facilitating your own home-fellowship or Internet-based church. (see the How-to area for details)
