They further argue that early Christian texts were possibly ...

Deep in the Vatican archives, a treasure was recently discovered. A document purporting to be written by the Magi themselves has surfaced in recent years. You likely have not even heard about this even though the translator published his work in 2010 while defining a valid chain of custody with references to this work before the fifth century perhaps as far back as the second. The find has been all but silenced as it demonstrates the Vatican knew the wise men were holy, sagacious kings (yes kings!) who originated in the Far East beyond India from the land of the Garden of Eden and never ...

The result has been a continual cycle of abuse and the disillusioned leaving the institutional church world in droves. From 1982-1989, author Bob Scott founded and pastored the Kansas City Fellowship with his friend and then brother-in-law Mike Bickle.
