513 Christianity's Subversion
The master plan of the Communist-Socialist thinkers from the beginning of this century (Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Mao) set out to subvert the world from all its religion.

419 Those Who Live In Glass Houses
The Protestants criticise the Mormons because they baptize for the dead. They rightly say that they use one Scripture to justify it, which is taken out of context.

(1 Corinthians 15:29) However, they turn around and baptise others using only one Scripture while ignoring the rest of the them, as well as history. read more...

626 Running From God
Today people there are people who try to walk or run away from God. The truth is that you can't run from an omnipresent God. So why attempt to do the impossible? One reason is found in John 3:20.
