While Bible doctrines are compiled by humans, they constitute the positive message of God Himself who wants everyone to hear and understand His word.

This course explains the meaning of the word “cult” by examining the history, theology and methods of cultic evangelism, and explains the dangers and growth potential of religious cults. You will learn about the need for sound evangelical education and training in the local church to equip the saints to combat the spread of false theology and cultism.

Life & Teachings of Paul
Experience what Paul experienced by studying the times, pressures and the difficulties of the great Apostle. Different than other studies on Paul, this course focuses on his “Jewish Theology” and explains how Judaism influenced the young theologian more than Hellenism. This study reveals Saul of Tarsus as a man who, though rejected in the synagogue, never truly left Judaism. This skewed notion has led to widely divergent interpretations of Paul’s writings. Paul never asserted a negative view toward the Torah, he was always positive, and he separates Jesus’ mission among the Jews from His call to the Gentiles.

Some people lose faith because they believe the Bible is full of contradictions, but the Bible, when understood properly, never contradicts itself. In this course, you will learn how to become an apologist by discovering answers to common questions about God, miracles, world religions, faith, the creation and more.
