Announcing My New Book: What Really Happened at Nicaea?

For 1700 years, the Council of Nicaea has been surrounded by myths, misunderstandings, and outright fabrications. From claims that Constantine “invented” the Trinity to the idea that the council decided the books of the Bible, there’s no shortage of misinformation floating around. That’s why I’m excited to announce my upcoming book, What Really Happened at Nicaea? This book sets the record straight, taking you inside the actual events of 325 AD—what was debated, what was decided, and why it still matters today. If you’ve ever wondered:✅ Did Constantine rewrite Christianity?✅ Was Jesus’ divinity really up for debate?✅ Did Nicaea creat...

8 Most Controversial Topics In The Church Today

...ether the Bible encourages baby baptism or just believer baptism. More liturgical churches even create the idea that baptism is required for salvation, but others don't appear to place much emphasis on it. Some churches baptize newborns as well, although not as evidence of salvation, but as a promise by the child's family and church body to raise the kid in the fear of the Lord. In this sense, infant baptism is similar to the dedication of the child. Other churches, on the other hand, only baptize individuals who are old enough to freely confess their religion. Christians also disagree on how and where baptisms should take place: by sprinkling, pouring water o...

Why Read The Early Church Fathers?

...tween the Bible and the present day. They fill the void we sometimes wonder about when we get to the end of reading Acts or the Epistles and think, “what happened next?” or “what happened to the Ephesian church after Paul left?”. So Why Read What They Wrote? The Bible didn't just drop out of the sky, all leather bound and ready to read for us to pick up today. There was a lengthy process of selecting and preserving the apostle's teachings which spanned nearly four centuries, and it was due to the Fathers and their faithfulness to the Scriptures that this was possible. Not only that, but due to their close links to the Apostles — some who were even t...

Is it the end of the world as we know it?

...es in the Bible which talk about the full moon becoming "like blood" which I'll list below for reference: Joel 2:31 The sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes. Revelation 6:12 When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and there came a great earthquake; the sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood... Acts 2:20 The sun shall be turned to darkness    and the moon to blood,        before the coming of the Lord’s great and glorious day. Matthew 24:29 is sometimes included in this type of thing, despite there not being a mention of a red moon, but...

Has Brexit just spoiled “End Times” prophecy?

...like: “Bible students have long expected Britain to leave the European Union, and current events are fulfilling this Bible Prophecy before our very eyes”, and that they knew “that the EU would only last a short time”.   Except I’ve never heard anyone state that. Ever. Until now, that is.   Many different websites and preachers will tell you that the EU is some type of “revived Roman empire” which sets the stage for a one-world government (which is also the “beast” of Revelation and part of the prophecy in Daniel), and thus begins the reign of the aniti-christ across the globe – identified by popular End Times preacher John Hagee, as th...

How was Jesus a sacrifice?

...So often we hear this phrase said about Jesus, that he was “the lamb of God” and that he “takes away the sins of the world” — but what do those things mean and how did he take away sin? John 1:29The next day [John] saw Jesus coming toward him and declared, “Here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! (cf. Jn 1:36) The New Testament writers repeatedly refer to Jesus as a lamb; but not only that — as a ransom too. Jesus even introduces himself that way at one point: Mark 10:45 For the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many. (cf. Matthew 20:28) To better understand the termi...
