Thank you for posting this. Most won’t believe it as they believe the teachings & do not see anything wrong – they are brainwashed – like an ostrich, they hide their heads in the sand. I tried witnessing & I just make an enemy – I give up.
Surprised Joyce Meyer is not on the list, but she is just a flat-out heretic. How many are graduates of SBC Seminaries?
