A True Contradiction?

It’s a tricky thing to engage an atheist in a debate over scriptural interpretation. They are by definition approaching the biblical writings under numerous presuppositions; namely that God doesn’t exist and the Bible is a man-made myth.  Therefore the motivation behind their challenges is not typically a desire for an open exchange of ideas or a sincere […]

On Amends

This lessons covers Principe 6 (of the 8 Principles) and Step 8 (of the 12 Steps), which are: Principle 6: Evaluate all my relationships.
