Law VS Grace: Could You Be Any More Wrong?
Raise your hand if you've heard this "Law VS Grace" thing before: God gave the Law to show us the difference between right and wrong. If anyone was able to perfectly obey it, they would never die or be punished by God. The bad news is that none of us can even come close to keeping the Law, and that means we're all going to Hell. But the good news is that Jesus DID perfectly keep every part of the Law. And because He was perfect and we aren't, He died for us so we don't have to. Now, we don't have to keep the Law anymore because we couldn't really do it in the first place. And that's called "grace." The problem with all of this is that Jesus said the exact opposite, and I'll prove it to you in less than 10 minutes.

Is Your Bible Translation Lying To You?
Your Bible translation isn't intentionally deceiving you in some sinister way. But, for over 70 years, scholars have known that a word in Deuteronomy 32 has been interpreted incorrectly. This word takes the biblical story to a whole new place. It makes the story explode with supernatural significance. You have to ask, "why are Christians so afraid of the supernatural realm?"

Old vs New Testament: Paul’s Position Will Surprise You
Have you ever wondered why so many Christians act like there's an Old VS New Testament battle going on when they read the Bible? Megachurch pastor, Andy Stanley, went so far as to suggest that churches should "unhitch" from the Old Testament. This idea isn't new. It's been around pretty much since the Day of Pentecost. And it's all because most Christians have spent 2,000 years with their biblical paradigm upside-down. This is a big no-no, and I’ll prove it to you in less than 10 minutes.

Don’t Miss This Important Rule on How To Study the Bible!
A few years ago I had lunch with a pastor who had launched one of the largest, most influential churches in America. He told me that when he disciples a new Christian, he ONLY gives them a New Testament, because “the Old Testament will only confuse them.” I couldn't believe that an influential pastor like him taught new Christians this is how to study the Bible. This is absurd! It's a TERRIBLE mistake that goes against everything Jesus taught, and I’ll prove it to you in less than 10 minutes.
