Studies on the Fringe of Christianity
I’ve literally heard dozens of Christian pastors preach that the Holy Bible demands our support for the modern nation of Israel. And every one of those preachers tells us that Genesis, chapter 12, informs us that we’ll be blessed if we do, but cursed if we don’t. Even the popular magazine, Christianity Today stated that …
In today’s Christian churches, you will find a wide variety of approaches in the teaching style of Judeo-Christian learning, as well as how it is applied to today’s modern world. The presentation of church doctrine is varied from prudish and emotionally static to being ‘woke’ and weakened by ungodly beliefs and unchristian political activities. But …

My point is that no matter what someone …
A popular American economist recently wrote that ‘woke’ liberal ideology has destroyed religion and ethics. And with the demise of morality, a person’s integrity and their word-of-honor disappeared too. Today, societies are overwhelmed with crime, and people’s sexual morality has all but vanished. Young women even compete for attention according to who can copulate with …

There are many prophecies concerning the end of this age in the Bible and we can believe in them if God, Jesus, or our Lord’s prophets stated them.
