'Against Heresies'
From the 2nd through the 4th centuries, many different Christian movements, or denominations, emerged throughout the Roman Empire. These included the Gnostics, Marcionists, Modalists, Arians, and many others. Most of these groups were considered heretical by the broader Christian community, but some began to attract increasing numbers of converts and grew in influence. As these movements spread, there arose a need to distinguish their teachings from the doctrine handed down by the Apostles. This concern motivated Irenaeus, Bishop of Lugdunum, when he wrote ‘Against Heresies’ around AD 180. How did Irenaeus develop the concept of apostolic succession, and how did he use it to argue for the authority of the Christian Church to be in Rome?

'Road Less Traveled'
The Road Less Traveled is a very popular nonfiction book that was published in 1978. Since then, it has sold millions of copies. It was written by the late Morgan Scott Peck, a clinical psychiatrist. Peck was raised in a Quaker family in New York City, which means he grew up familiar with the Bible. In The Road Less Traveled, he attempts to combine his knowledge of the Bible and the teachings of Jesus with psychiatry. Written during the era of the self-help movement, the book sought to teach people how to achieve the benefits of Christianity without Jesus. This is why it is called The Road Less Traveled. What did Jesus say about the broad road and the narrow road, and how does that relate to Peck’s book?

@Simply_Tessy This such a ridiculous post. Catholics hid the Bible in a dead Latin language for centuries and murdered anyone who translated it into a common language that people could comprehend. @grok how and why was William Tyndale killed?
@unclelukereal1@TheBlackCaucus Debbie Wasserman Schultz was exposed for rigging the 2016 Democratic primary for Hillary Clinton and had to step down as Chair of the DNC. The fact that she is still in Congress and Democrats don’t care about what she did says a lot about your party. Good luck.
