Remembering David

The Protestants, in their efforts to prove that everyone deserves to go to hell, have promoted the calling of everyone “sinners” and “sinful”.  Most modern Christians, whether Protestants or Catholic have imbibed this attitude.  In my world history course, I ask the question, “Was King David sinful?” and almost every student answers “True”.  Why? “Well, […]
