Join me on this journey. Let's seek the truth together! 💡 Proverbs 8:34-36 Blessed is the man who hears me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at my door posts. For whoever finds me finds life, and will obtain favor from Yahweh. But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul. All those who hate me love death.” Psalm 84: 11 For Yahweh God is a sun and a shield. Yahweh will give grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly. 12 Yahweh of Armies, blessed is the man who trusts in you. 1 John 5:5 Now who is the one overcoming the world, except the one believing that Jesus is the Son of God.

Quick Facts: Testing Traditional Teachings Against the Biblical Evidence!

QUICK FACTS BIBLE STUDY INDEX

TESTING TRADITIONAL TEACHINGS AGAINST THE BIBLICAL EVIDENCE
Promotional infographic encouraging readers to test traditional Christian teachings against biblical evidence, Scripture, archaeology, ancient manuscripts, and historical research, featuring topics such as the Trinity and false Bible translations.

Research by Simon Brown
Should every Christian belief be accepted simply because it has been taught for centuries? This Quick Facts series encourages readers to compare every doctrine with Scripture, biblical context, archaeology, ancient manuscripts, and historical evidence. Covering subjects such as the Trinity, false Bible translations, and other traditional teachings, these studies invite readers to follow the Berean example by examining the Scriptures carefully and testing everything against God's Word.

  • Quick Facts:
  •  That Challenge Traditional Trinitarian Interpretations.
  •  That Raise Questions About Traditional Bible Translations.
  • That's Worth Considering About the Trinity.
  •  Evidence from the Greek Text.
  • And Re-examining Christian Traditional Interpretations.
  • Scriptures are mostly by Berean Literal Bible unless otherwise stated.
    All images on this blog made by Simon Brown maybe freely used.
    • For many years I believed what I had been taught about God, Jesus Christ, and the Trinity without personally examining the biblical evidence in depth.
    • Over time I became convinced that every doctrine should be tested carefully against Scripture itself.
    • Acts 17:11 encourages believers to examine the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.
    • This blog is the result of years of studying Scripture, comparing manuscripts, examining the Greek and Hebrew texts, and asking one simple question: What does the Bible actually say?
    • My aim is to encourage every reader to examine the Scriptures carefully and allow God's Word to speak for itself.

    Jesus said: 'Seek, and you will find.' (Matthew 7:7)
