"One of the most significant biblical finds of the last century - a lost gospel that could challenge what is believed about the story of Judas and his betrayal of Jesus….Discovered by chance in the 1970s, a document that lay hidden for some 1,700 years, emerges today as The Gospel of Judas."

A young sister attending the services where I was preaching shared the material she had been receiving with me. Upon reading the material I was shocked and horrified at what it contained. I have been careful to cite the material where I read these errors first-hand and to give the biblical answer to these erroneous teaching of World Bible School. I believe that there are many … [Read more...]
