Nativity Fake News Alert | Theologica Yes, every Christmas, in almost every Christian church Christians spread disinformation about the birth story of Jesus Christ.

The surprising truth about the West's Christian revival Many Christian leaders have noticed something happening in their churches and in the wider culture: Christianity is becoming popular

Great to see that a respected and evangelical Bible scholar like Ian Paul is also convinced that #Annihilationism fits best with what the Bible says.
