update Part II, (see I actually kept my word!).

In part 1, I had mentioned the idea that alot of what passes itself off as a Christian ministry will many times present stuff that isn't Christian at all. So what I am going to do is to give you some links to good sites that you can check out yourself. The common factor that binds these sites together is that you will see what Christianity isn't or shouldn't be. Well, here goes:
www.apprising.org
www.sliceoflaodicea.com
www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com
These people who run these sites are not perfect; they make mistakes like you and I always do. However they have a passion for the truth and for God's word. Give them a visit and have a good translation of the Bible with you. By the way, the links they provide on these sites are also worth checking out.

can this happen?

I recently listened to a fellow who made some interesting predictions- One was that McCain would be elected President. Another was that the price of oil/gas would go down significantly. (That 'prediction' would happen later according to the source.). At this point, I am not naming names for various reasons. I will just be posting this to see if this comes true; because if these predictions do come true than I am going to blab like crazy!

update, (parft II to follow, maybe).

Technical problems have prevented me from posting sooner. That fact made it hard for me to stay organized. One goal or motive in posting all these blogs was just simply to present what Christianity is. That sounds easy until you realize that what passes for Christianity really isn't Christian. In other words highly respected main-stream ministries that have a large following and audience will often have aspects or practices in their ministry that is not Biblical and even heretical.
For example: Chuck Swindoll thinks very highly of Eugene Peterson's "The Message", a book that passes itself off as a Bible translation. Trust me folks, it is no translation of the Bible! Would you like proof? Take "The Message" along with a New King James translation and open them both to a familiar passage like ICorinthians 13, and compare them side-by-side. You will see major differences!
I must go now and get my kids up! I will be back as soon as possible!
