Misused Terms of the Bible: Salvation, Living by Faith, & Beyond is a LIVE course starting Term 4 Session 1 (7:00–8:15 pm EST) 4/6/2020.
Course Description
There is no time like the present to clear up the confusion once and for all about misused terms of the Bible. Quite a few things are identified as an "abomination" in the Bible; what does that mean? Are you sure you know what the command forbids when you hear, "Thou shalt not kill"? "The just will live by faith" does not mean what you think it means! Are you ready to see that being "saved" does not mean to get right with God and go to heaven? Come explore some misunderstood terms that cripple our comprehension of the Bible!
