Studies on the Fringe of Christianity
A common question I’ve often been asked is, “Can you explain the Trinity to me?” My answer then — as it is now — was: “I’ve read in great depth about that concept, but I don’t personally believe in the Trinity doctrine of God as three distinct persons sharing one nature.” In my study of …
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.
