They went on to say tha

My family has experienced Christian leaders casting millstones.
In His service,

HUMAN MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: ABSOLUTE COMPLETE FAITH IN CHRIST
Sharing Evanlogicalism.
How sure are you of your faith in Christ?
100%? Really?
Having TRUE knowledge, now that’s a 100% sure thing.

Pray We not be Arrogrant in Preaching Inerrancy
The Bible will never lead you astray. That is what inerrancy means. It doesn't mean the Bible is an exact history.
This makes complete Evanlogical sense.
So, why is “inerrancy,” at times, preached arrogantly?
Sharing Evanlogical Math.
Organized church has long taught that Jesus was fully God and fully man, except He did not sin. This is not in the Bible. It was decided by a vote of men in a council. This concept is not Scriptural. However, the council vote may have been Inspi

NOTE: I am a non-paid, non-pastoral layperson
Oh Lord it's hard to be human
I’m defective in every way
I looked in the Spiritual mirror
But all that I saw was decay
Then You sent Christ in to my life
I didn’t deserve it I know

I attended a celebration of life today. It was for the wife of a long time neighbor. The woman, Nancy, who passed was a very dear friend of my wife.
