Dear Daniel

We run this website for the SOLE purpose of warning the flock and keeping Christians informed to the best of our ability regarding the gospel Truth.

It&#039;s easy to have a website, many website platforms are available to chose from, you don&#039;t need an IT background, but it does help.

I always say, &quot;if you can read you have a future&quot;, the same goes for the bible, if you are genuinely saved, you have the Holy Spirit abiding in you who leads you to all truth.  Don&#039;t just read your bible, study it.  When it comes to difficult passages of scripture and you just don&#039;t understand, get as many good commentaries as you find and read them all, and let the Holy Spirit tell you the what&#039;s true, through study.  Having said that there was a time when the bible was no where to be found, but &lt;strong&gt;yet genuine Christians knew the truth&lt;/strong&gt; - because of the Holy Spirit abiding in them.

And don&#039;t pay your pastor tithes to read the bible to you, this is why God gave you a brain, to TEST all things.  Why are there so many Christians fooled in this day and age? Because the pay their church to give them useless sermons that are of absolutely no spiritual value on a weekly basis.  These sermons appear to have value but are actually leading people straight to hell.

DTW is not a business, or a job for either Tom or I, it is a labour of love.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hello DTWorld,

I m Daniel and enjoy this much needed plarform for True Believers to discuss and seek the TRUTH in current issues being teached regarding Christianity......

I read a lot ,and have a keen interest in Faith and religion,as a born again, Christian.........

My graduate subjects and interest at graduate level, studied at university are Law,Ethics,Psychology,International Politics and Political philosophy....I ve have travelled quite extensively in North and South America ,Britain,Europe and southern Africa...;(never did the East,planning on it)....I ,with my dad ,deceased now,..had a machinery import business ,so it helped a bit with expenditure.....

So I developed a keen interest for different cultures and how they influence our worldview,per se, and our worldview and the TRUTH about our Spiritual walk as born again Christians.....

Growing up in a Reformed tradition,the controversy regarding Predestination and the Word of God ,really do interest me......

Is it possible to ask Tom and Deobrah(hope the first name basis is ok?),who drives the site, how they came to start the site, and if possible, what their backrounds are regarding ,their education or general reading and studying and researching are regarding the Bible, and if they are also in full-time ministry or if they just run this site for the sake of keeping fellow Christians informed regarding the real Truth, in our Christian walk?
Kind Regards and a blessed evening to all...

Hi Angela

Thanks you for your comment.  Yes Calvinism is a whole other nightmare.  

You said &quot;If NAR focuses on the experiential, then Calvinism focuses on intellect…&quot;

That is for sure!!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hello there, Calvinism has been really highlighted for me over the past week, I&#039;d swallowed some of it myself, so thank you for your articles...I thought NAR was a nightmare, to me Calvinism is a whole new nightmare and once you read their sermons you start to read the entire Word that way!  Have noticed as well that if you question their system, a whole heap of accusations start flying about!! If NAR focuses on the experiential, then Calvinism focuses on intellect...

Praise God that Jesus is still building HIS church, and John 14:6 is I think possibly the most important verse in the entire Bible!!

Thanks, John. My wife and I have lost many friends because I have dared to speak out against Calvinism and many other heresies in our churches. None of them have ever given any reasons for abandoning us. Silence seems to have been their best weapon. I am not suggesting that I am a Stephen but he proved that the Spirit of God is indeed irresistible (not in the sense Calvinists interpret it).

And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people. Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called the synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and of Asia, disputing with Stephen. And &lt;strong&gt;they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake&lt;/strong&gt;. Then they suborned men, which said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and against God. (Acts 6:8-11).

If they can&#039;t answer you, they curse, malign and will even kill you if they could.

We must always rely on the wisdom of the Holy Spirit and not our own puny little thoughts and ideas.]]></description>
