Mary Magdalene is one of the most influential symbols in the history of Christianity - yet, if you look in the Bible, you'll find only a handful of verses that speak of her.

What if everything you believe about God, salvation, heaven, hell, sin, and Scripture was built on assumptions—and you didn’t even know it?

Have you ever wondered why the church has argued for centuries upon the topic of Free Will vs Predestination? It might seem like a dead issue but inside of this discussion, I take a deep dive into the roots of them. I decided to find words that explain these topics listed in the Bible that more closely represent what the Scriptures meant (as well as the Word stating about itself) in Choice balanced with Control.
