Since before its final words were penned, the Bible, in whole or in part, has been under attack. By those who sought to crush the new movement that identified the man, Jesus, as its leader, yes; but more insidiously and paradoxically by the very ones who claimed to be upholding its tenets. Pride, personal opinion, desire for power or prominence, popular philosophy; all these and more were the weapons and tools, both blunt and razor sharp, that were used to tear down the truth of the Biblical message and in its place offer a monument to human thought, philosophy and tradition. Where the word of God, as recorded in the scriptures, was intended to preserve and shape the body of his people through the coming ages, many who claimed to be of that body decided instead to have their own thoughts shape the meaning of the scriptures, foisting the result on the well-intentioned faithful. This process, progressively carried out over centuries, finally left mankind with a form of Christianity in which error ran so deep that it actually came to define the entire belief system, becoming the very foundational pillars upon which it was claimed to have been built.

Though this turn of events might be disheartening, to a diligent student of the scriptures it shouldn't be shocking. Paul himself foretold, "I know that after my going away oppressive wolves will enter in among you and will not treat the flock with tenderness, and from among you yourselves men will rise and speak twisted things to draw away the disciples after themselves." (Acts 20:29, 30) Under the influence of these 'wolves,' Christianity ceased to be a body of humble and unassuming footstep followers of Christ and became the worldwide empire of Christendom, teaching falsehoods in place of Biblical truth, holding sway over even the highest political powers and instigating the bloodiest of wars. Jesus said, "My kingdom is no part of this world. If my kingdom were part of this world, my attendants would have fought that I should not be delivered up .... But, as it is, my kingdom is not from this source." Not so with the "Christian" juggernaut that developed in the centuries after his death and resurrection.

It is the intent of this site to provide a detailed examination of the teachings that have infiltrated the Christian congregation since its inception as well as the attacks that have been leveled against it. They will be held under the lens of the inspired scriptural record and shown to be wanting. "[T]he hour is coming, and it is now, when the true worshipers will worship the Father with spirit and truth, for, indeed, the Father is looking for suchlike ones to worship him." (John 4:23)
