In The Beginning (Part Ii) Series

Contributed by Eddie Snipes on Oct 18, 2000

In this part we will examine the purpose of our creation, satan’s deception and the process of temptation. We can clearly observe that nothing has changed since the beginning. Will we learn from history or relive it?

Part II. Why did God create us? Why does it matter whether God used evolution or creation to form man? There are two major reasons this is a foundational issue. We are created in the image of God.

Contributed by Eduardo Quintana on Oct 16, 2021

“Shock” is the only word to describe what I found. Halloween is a real, sacred day for those who follow Wicca. In fact, it is one of two high and holy days for them.

Perhaps they ...read more
