Twisting the Scriptures (Part 2)

Christianity is an old religion with multiple changes and divisions throughout the centuries.  It is an organized religion that views change from the primitive church as a necessary improvement.   But, are these changes improvements that glorify God or human beings?   From the end of the first century until the third century AD, the “church” went from simple, home-based groups with a message of God’s love through His Son to an elaborate dictatorship that ruled a person’s life through fear of punishment - sometimes even death. The protestant movement may have dialed it back a bit, but did it go far enough? Today, organized religion has all the characteristics of a man-made business, each with its own manifest and expectations, one of which is never to question the church's creed and doctrine.  This podcast encourages independent study in search of God's will without the aid of human organizations and welcomes your feedback.

Join Tim Glover, who is not a church member and questions whether God would consider the changes in Christianity to be "progress."  This podcast helps us peel back the layers of human innovation to reach the core teaching of Jesus and His apostles at a time referenced as "the last days."
