Created by FotoJet From Bible-Based Beliefs to Better Biblical Views Our spiritual predecessors vehemently defended Bible-based beliefs that turned out to be biblically wrong.

Defending Democracy
Democracy Honors God
Defending democracy may seem counterintuitive at times but Christians should value and protect it even when losing ground in areas of moral importance, for it honors God who has given free will to all, and it gives an opportunity for the gospel to bring influence and true change to people’s lives.
Protect Democracy
In this regard, The Shanker Institute put out an article by Richard D. Kahlenberg, titled, Teaching Kids What It Means To Be An American, which addresses the importance of protecting democracy.

The following books offer remedies for three areas where many have lost biblical focus and led people astray:
Dismantling Dispensationalism
Remedies:
- Remove the false end-time teachings associated with the Apocalypse.
- Restore the day-to-day benefit of the book of Revelation to believers.
- Better understand eschatology.
- Remedy international relations.
The Bride and The Beast
