OK, Christians. We know the world likes to use profane language, and then to profane it more by adding, “Holy S!” and such. So why are Christians not only using the euphemism “crap” but profaning their language by saying, “Holy crap!” Did you know during the Wilderness Wanderings, Israel had to go outside of the […]

Yoked False Doctrines Whether this is an example of coincidence, causation, or correlation, it is an undeniable truth. That is, the Denominations that accept homosexuality also accept women within leadership roles.
