They banned my first video, but this one is even better! Examining the theology of the WMSCOG. I really hope this helps a lot of people to come out of this group and come to simple trust in the truth of Christ. God the Mother is unbiblical and irrational and this video will explain what the Bible teaches about God the Mother as well as respond to the teachings and theology of the World Mission Society Church of God and their worship of Zhang Gil-ja.

An analysis of several statements of Jesus which are taken, by some, to mean that Jesus was supposed to return within the first century. I think that you will find a verse-by-verse study of those passages to be extremely helpful in understanding what Jesus meant by “this generation” and what delay He implied before His second coming.

This passage brings up a variety of issues which we cover one at a time. Some pastors think this passage means that churches should be tithing to the state of Israel. What it really teaches us about giving is quite helpful in making decisions about your own budget as well as how the church takes care of the poor. We also learn about how to make good decisions when you don’t know exactly what the Holy Spirit is guiding you to do, using Paul as our example.

Here's some links you may want...

 Some of the debates or other vids that I watched where you can hear the skeptics react to the evidence...

How do skeptics respond to the evidential case for the resurrection of Jesus? We will look at Bart Ehrman, Dan Barker, Richard Carrier, Sam Harris, Dan Barker, and Matt Dillahunty. If you pay attention to what these guys say then you can see that they don't actually try to come up with reasonable explanations of the evidence. Instead, they tend to attack the idea of miracles or say that belief in the resurrection is the same as belief in some other miracle claims which don't have evidence like the resurrection does. I find these tactics very revealing.
