In the Greco-Roman world the use of ‘medicine men’ (pharmakai) was common for the poisoning of your political opponents, inducement of paranormal experiences and obtaining toxic herbs to induce abortions. Poisonous herbs were used to induce abortions. Such a practice, in part, led to the downfall of the Roman Empire “Abortion may not have been […]

I hold to the Historical view of Bible prophecy. Most protestants have been deceived into believing the Futurist view, which was developed and promoted by Jesuits, even though a slightly different form of it was developed and promoted by John Nelson Darby, one of the founders of the Plymouth Brethren denomination. Defenders of Darby deny any connection […]

Weak in faith?
So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17 KJVER Weak faith arises from a defect in our knowledge of God’s word.
