In America, Democratic partiality has taken reign. Our differences divide us. Top-level leadership devalues fairness, respect, and character. Everything from our speech, actions including cultural ideals, has been swayed. Unfortunately, the one prayer Americans values has been abolished from educational curriculums, institutions and substituted with heretical practices. Accordingly, various religious groups will grip their ideals by denying truths uncovered within this book. For many, it may be difficult giving up learned customs, while others who found faith in concocted traditions, may doubt.
With this in mind, we’ve allowed unfamiliar creeds to set bounds of how we look at Christianity and its defining characteristics.
A Question You Should Ponder. Today’s Religion has shaped the way people form opinions about personal spirituality. In view of this, beliefs many embrace give clarity to current trends and what may seem right in a person’s point of view. True believers on the other hand face controversial attribution that question scriptures validity (God’s inerrant word) including its accuracy. Given the intimate eyewitness accounts, established historicity of Jesus Christ by early Greek, Roman, and Jewish sources, prophetic and scientific proof, archeological evidence, including recorded events still occurring today, there should be no uncertainty. Reading through the volumes, clearly fallacies are revealed and refuted while fundamental truth is given.
Surely, there’s much favoritism towards age-old religions, specifically new ones encompassing claims, interpretations,

and imposing views that diminish Christ’s importance. In the distance, influential figures followed by a contentious majority remain intent on taking this country through destructible paths. A detractor’s goal is casting doubt on things they believe are untrue, namely that Christ is the only way to God and only one creator exists.
Christendom (Christians collectively, or the Christian world) particularly religious factions have turned away from biblical relevance, spewing unconscionable rhetoric that promotes humanistic ways of teaching God’s Word to attract millennials. Alarmingly, large mega-churches are indoctrinating a need for love and fellowship. Televangelists preach positive thinking, wealth and prosperity, charismatic movements, New Age philosophies where everything is relative. While emerging ministries conduct God’s Church through storytelling, missions and “journeys,” other established churches incorporate moments of thinking, showing reality videos, and recipes that diminish a need for sound scripture. Not surprisingly, they are advocating experience over reason, superseding religious obedience, worshiping idols, feelings before truth, and images where movies trump Christ’s inerrant words (“Inerrancy” refers to a text considered accurate, truthful and very free of error).
These practices have crept into houses of worship, reactions from modernism deemed necessary to actively engage contemporary culture thereby growing the Church. In addition, an adroit movement calling for missionary work by traveling abroad and helping the less fortunate, hungry and impoverished are all on the rise. Fashions stapled in hardline countries turning kindhearted acts into “human ministerial invasions.” Do we have that part right?
Many denominations in some way misinterpreted this great commission.
“And Jesus came and spoke unto them, saying, all power is given unto me in heaven and in the earth. Go you, therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”
(Matthew 28:18-21)
Unknowing to most, there are deceitful persuasive leaders and Kirk’s masked with eloquent teachings. Therefore, the contents of this book will arm you with nomenclatures used, but mostly, knowledge in detecting and defending against deceivingly false doctrines that continue to mislead millions. In the end, Christianity is defined, and religion’s complexion debunked. Additionally, disclosing which teachings pull wool over people’s eyes while uncovering an immense deception.
Above all, findings contained herein are based on Religious teachings and God’s word (The Bible), not a distinctive probable assessment,
In earlier times, there was no exposure to a “consensus of teachers.” But today, we are bombarded with contending trends and religious, exploitative preachers who distort God’s word with a charismatic technique leading many to doubt the Bible’s factuality. Paul the Apostle wrote that the saints were to “prove all things and to hold fast that which is good” (1 Thessalonians 5:21). Through every engagement, I encourage opening your bibles, research, study, and discover the truth based on a direct reading of scripture apart from what you hear.
