Greetings from Westwood Baptist Church in Nashville, Tennessee! Thanks so much for sharing this lecture. Praise God for his sovereign providence over church history. I did not know the Gregory-Canterbury connection or that preaching still occupied a central place in the church in the sixth century. Thanks again.

Without lies, Islam dies.

There are only two types of spirits in the entire universe: God’s and Satan’s Every single one of us, as we live and breathe, either has God’s spirit or Satan’s spirit-there is no in between (Matthew 12:30). Those who are joined to the Lord are *one spirit,* and that spirit belongs to God the Father *_alone and by Himself_* (Isaiah 44:24). It is Jesus, not man, who said the Lord [God] possessed him in the beginning of his ways, before his works of old (Proverbs 8:22-36). Jesus is telling us that he is possessed by God’s power and spirit. On the other hand, those who hate and reject Jesus’ words will be judged by the Father (John 12:48) because the words Jesus spoke came directly from the Father (John 12:49-50). Each person who rejects the Father’s words through His Son loves death (Proverbs 8:36). Those who belong in heaven live unto the Father’s spirit; and those who belong in hell will die because of Satan’s spirit. Choose.

Islam blams Eve for sin. The Bible always puts the responsibility for sin and death on Adam.

[@zacka9438]

Wrong! Islam blames both!

This is not in The Bible.

[@-RM-]

It's a lecture on Church history, not an exegetical sermon.

[@Isaiah49.16]

And particular churches still teach this, which is not in The Bible.

Sounds like you were “saved” by the prosperity gospel. Prayers for you

​@Isaiah49.16 Most people don't know what a Particular church is. They are rare in these days but do preach the true gospel.
