Attack on “Christianity” …

Mostly false teaching regarding “Christianity” – Not what the New Testament teaches (2 Pet. 2:2, 2 Tim. 2:15)

Anti-theists are seeking to prove why there is no need for God, because they have no evidence to prove there is no God.

There is evidence for God and Christianity – Atheists are two closed minded as to where such evidence leads – To them, God is not possible!
