Unending Horizons Of Truth.

Recently i came across a video message of one Joshua Selman, and i was sore grieved & peeved, seeing him teach outright blasphemy with much gusto, to the delight of his gullible hearers.  He said: "You need economic empowerment to raise the name of Jesus.

When a doctrine which should lead to Christ/reveal Christ falls short of that in the hands of men and becomes something in itself...a movement, an affiliation, a religious/doctrinal sect/camp of all who embrace it, and even a foundation on whi
