…if anyone hears My words and does not believe, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the worrld but to save the world. He who rejects Me, and does nto receive My words has that which judges him – the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day. (John 12:47-48)
The Peril of Elevating Tradition Over God’s Word
