I portend, religious people might have started and perfected the trend of living fake “trans” lives. “Trans” living involves the seeking attention, focusing […]

9 False Gospels False gospels abound today. The Holy Spirit recognized they began almost immediately after the gospel became a reality.

Inspired and Confident Attacking whether the Bible is God’s authority revealed is too blunt. So when you hear someone questioning inerrancy or infallibility, and then redefining inspiration, the agenda is to deny the Bible is God’s authority revealed to us in written form.
