“This means that when I dig into Scripture, I HAVE to set aside all my preconceptions, even the things I’m absolutely certain are true. I’ve had to change what I’ve believed more than a few times when I saw what was actually written in Scripture instead of what was taught in American popular religion.”

Rome has taken one verse from John and has used it to justify introducing a whole bunch of false theology.
