I readily accept this as truth but, time proves that I'm a gullible person! Thoughts?
Okay, I'm jump in here too. grin I'd like to answer your question, "Thoughts?" with a couple questions of my own,

1. Is it possible that every single one of Christ's sheep from Adam onward have been kept in ignorance concerning what Scripture teaches and the "real" method of interpreting it until Ivan Panin came along? scratchchin

2. Do any of the following names mean anything to you? scratch1
  1. Joseph Smith
  2. Charles Taze Russell
  3. Mary Baker Eddy
  4. Helen White
  5. Dan Brown (Da Vinci Code)
