Who is God? What must we come to know in order to know God? What is the kingdom of Heaven? What sums up God’s law that all the prophets spoke to? What is the source of the universe and all that exists? What binds us to God and to one another? Why did He come into our world? What gives us eternal life? What is the great beginning and the ultimate end? Is there something truly universal that we can come to know, answering all of these questions? Love and Spirit says there is, presenting one word that could explain everything. It lives in the hearts of all people, waiting to be discovered, nurtured, and understood: love.

Publishers are removing things from new Bibles! Publishers of modern Bible versions have been removing words, phrases, and even whole verses, but their readers are often unaware of it. Few people know the Bible well enough to notice when something has been taken out. But the results are hard to believe. The removal of one tiny word turns Jesus into a liar. Callers into Christian talk shows have even used this to say that it’s okay for a Christian to lie. After all, they say, Jesus did it. A verse that’s completely missing from some of the most popular Bibles available today completely removes one of the basic doctrines found in every evangelical church. When David Daniels shows this one to people they just stand with their mouths open and say, “I can’t believe it!” In another case, Jesus’ own words are removed, taking out a famous phrase in which Jesus explains why He came to earth. People react with: “They took out Jesus words! How can they do that?” This information has been right under our noses for years, but no one has ever taken the time to cull through this many Bible versions and find the missing parts. Author David Daniels did the research and now releases his results for the Christian world to see what is really missing. How about your Bible? Is it on the list of Bibles with pieces taken out? You might be surprised when you look at what’s missing.
