    Love That Doesn't Fail Series

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Jun 26, 2014
     | 5,888 views

There were those who were false teachers during John's day who claimed that they were apostles, too, just like John. There were others who claimed that Jesus wasn't really human, he didn't really suffer and die as a ...read more
