Are There Many Gods or One? From ancient times to the present, humanity has wrestled with the question: are there many gods or one? The Bible gives a definitive answer: there is only one true God, who alone is worthy of worship. Yet throughout history, polytheism—the belief in many gods—has lured nations and even the people of God themselves into error. This question is not only theological but practical: what we believe about God shapes how we live, worship, and trust.

Modalism: One God, Three Roles—or a Distortion of the Trinity? Christians confess one God who eternally exists as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. But from the early centuries of the church, some rejected this truth and proposed an easier explanation: that God is one Person who merely appears in different forms or modes. This teaching, known as Modalism, may sound simple, but it is dangerously misleading. It strips the Trinity of its eternal relationships and empties the gospel

Sabellianism: Modalism Revived in Oneness Pentecostalism. False teachings rarely die; they recycle themselves in new clothes. What the early church called Sabellianism or Modalism is now repackaged in modern Pentecostal Oneness movements. Both reject the biblical Trinity, claiming that Father, Son, and Spirit are not distinct Persons but only different manifestations of the one God. This distortion robs the gospel of its depth and misrepresents the God who saves.

The Passion Translation (TPT): A One-Man Paraphrase Masquerading as Scripture. The Passion Translation (TPT), produced by Brian Simmons and first released in 2017, markets itself as a “fresh, Spirit-led translation” of Scripture. In reality, it is not a translation at all. Unlike genuine translations, which are produced by committees of trained scholars working with the original texts, the TPT is a one-man paraphrase shaped by Simmons’ claim of receiving supernatural guidance

The Myth of a Third Temple: Why It’s Not Biblical. One of the most sensational ideas in modern prophecy teaching is the claim that the Bible predicts a Third Temple in Jerusalem. According to this view, a new temple must be built before Christ returns, complete with sacrifices and priestly rituals. This teaching has fueled political movements, inspired fundraising campaigns, and shaped much of popular “end-times” preaching.

Seventh-day Adventism: Sabbath Legalism, Prophecy, and Another Gospel. Seventh-day Adventism (SDA) is often misunderstood as simply another Protestant denomination. In reality, its origins and core teachings place it closer to the realm of cults. Rooted in failed prophecies, new revelations, and legalistic additions to the gospel, Adventism undermines the sufficiency of Christ’s work.

Catholicism: Tradition, Division, and the Gospel. The Roman Catholic Church is the largest branch of Christianity, with over one billion adherents worldwide. For centuries, it has claimed to be “the one true Church” founded by Jesus Christ, the only reliable custodian of salvation and authority. But history and Scripture tell a different story. Far from being the one true church, Catholicism is one branch among many — a branch that elevated human tradition and papal authority

Mormonism: Another Gospel and Its Errors. Mormonism—officially The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS)—is not Christianity. It is a counterfeit faith offering a different gospel, another Jesus, and another path of salvation. The danger is not just in Mormonism’s growth worldwide, but in its recent cultural acceptance through partnerships with projects like The Chosen. What once was rejected outright as a false religion is now slipping quietly into Christian spac

Greek or Peshitta? Why the Apostles Wrote the New Testament in Greek. Some modern movements—especially Sacred Name groups—claim that the New Testament was not written in Greek, but in Aramaic (specifically the Peshitta). They argue that the Greek text is a corruption, and only the Peshitta preserves the “true” words of Jesus and the Apostles.

The Sacred Name Movement: Why “Yeshua Only” Misses the Point. The Sacred Name movement insists that Christians must call Jesus by His Hebrew name Yeshua (sometimes expanded into contrived forms like Yahshua). Advocates often claim that using “Jesus” is pagan, inauthentic, or invalid. While it may sound spiritual, this teaching is not only misguided—it is a distortion of Scripture and history.

Deliverance Ministry: Is It For Christians? Among all the topics in the Christian world, few stir as much fascination—and confusion—as deliverance ministry. For some, deliverance is about every negative emotion or struggle being blamed on demons. For others, it is a neglected dimension of the church’s calling to set captives free.

Throughout the Old and New Testaments, God consistently warns His people about false prophets, counterfeit religions, and spiritual distortions that lead people away from the truth. Jesus Himself warned that many would come in His name, claiming to be sent by God (Matthew 24:5, NLT).

Arianism takes its name from Arius, a presbyter in Alexandria who began teaching around AD 318 that the Son of God was not eternal but was instead a created being. Arius famously summarized his doctrine in the phrase, “There was a time when He was not.” He insisted that before the Son was begotten, He did not exist. In this view, Jesus was exalted above all creation but was nevertheless a creature Himself, subordinate and different in nature from God the Father.
