I AM NOT WHAT I USE TO BE The Bad News Hey Christ-Follower! As you take time to look at this controversial passage of scripture, I want you to notice something that rarely get's highlighted when this passage is read. Most people, who really do not take time to see what is being said, in the entire context of the passage, just look at one angle of the passage, and this viewpoint is God's originalist view.

Swindlers A Hazardous Belief System
