Have you ever wondered why gaining knowledge through a tree was so harmful? What deeper implications does this hold for humanity? In my last post, I explored the potential meaning of Genesis 2:17, where God warns Adam, “You shall surely die.” Those familiar with the Bible know that the serpent assured Eve, Adam’s wife, that this would not take place, thereby challenging the Lord’s wisdom and authority.

On a sister's YouTube video that I viewed a while back advocating for female preachers, I recall a guy leaving an ignorant comment saying, "Lady, you need to be quiet, you’re just a rib." My jaw dropped in horror at his sheer stupidity and disrespect. Unfortunately, there are others who think this way as well, and translations, many times, can promote these wrong ideas. But, is “woman” the product of a rib? Read more
There’s a video of Kirk Franklin making the rounds on social media that’s been dubbed a "rant," receiving mostly negative reactions and judgmental responses. In light of this clip, he’s been called “demonic,” not "born-again," and “fallen away,” among other accusations.
