In this video, Jenn Nizza, Jac Marino Chen, Doreen Virtue, and I appeal to Kat Von D and her followers to test the Eastern Orthodox Church. In view of Von D's recent Instagram post, clearly following the Eastern Orthodox Church, which is a false religion and an apostate church, it is with love that this conversation takes place. The hope is that the true Gospel is heard, received, and souls would be won. (Watch Here)

Baptist Pastor Samuel Farag grew up in the Coptic Orthodox Church, which claims to be the one true church. Samuel had not heard the Gospel growing up, and the reason is simple. The Coptic Christian Church believes both God and man contribute to salvation. The combination of the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ and the human works of merit, such as fasting, almsgiving, and receiving the sacraments and other works, may bring about salvation. He came to realize this was not supported by but was in opposition to Scripture. (Watch Here)

For the second time, we bring Fr. Jonathan Ivanoff and Pr. Samuel Farag together to participate in a Faith Unaltered ORIGINAL Debate!!! This time the subject is Jesus' very own mother, Mary!!!  Things are a little different in this debate however. We will begin by asking both participants questions about their own views of Mary that will be open for discussion cross exam style after after the initial answer. After this we will present texts from Orthodox hymns about Mary and have an open discussion about the meaning of those texts from each perspective! We then wrap up by answering some audience questions and asking both participants to give a closing statement. (Watch Here)

Samuel Farag (Protestant) come together to discuss their perspectives and answer questions pertaining to this hotly debated topic amongst Christians! (Watch Here) 

As time passed and their outlandish prophecies turned out to be as reliable as a typical weatherman’s forecast, many made excuses for why they got these “divine predictions” wrong. The Scriptures are clear that those who claim to listen to God’s but get caught in a lie are not to be trusted, as they have exposed themselves as false prophets (Deuteronomy 18:20-22)...(Read More) 

Dear Gov. Cuomo… As a pro-life, pro-Second Amendment, and pro-biblical-definition-of-marriage kind of guy, I was disturbed by your comments and especially concerned for the future of my daughters, as I did not want to raise them in a hostile environment like the one you described...(Read More) 

Some claim he turned his back on his faith; however, the Word of God says, “They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, so that it would be shown that they all are not of us” (1 John 2:19). Rodgers didn’t leave Christianity; it appears he was never a true Christian to begin with...(Read More) 

The heartlessness in the practice of abortion is rooted in the fact that there are so many individuals walking around with stone hearts. But we have to remember that we all started with a stone heart and it wasn’t until we experienced the grace of God and He turned our heart of stone to a heart of flesh...(Read More) 

The formal split will likely take place in May when a formal agreement is voted on to create a new denomination, “traditional Methodist,” for those who hold to a biblical belief that the practice of homosexuality is a sin and denounce the appointment of LGBTQ+ clergy...(Read More) 

The deeper meaning of Christmas is not that Jesus came to bring universal peace among all sinners in the world. The deeper meaning is that Jesus came with a mission to serve, to be the innocent lamb of God who would endure the Wrath of God to save His sheep...(Read More) 

Jamil doesn’t stop at bragging about her abortion, she is willing to take something so godlessly tragic and push the envelope further. When she was asked if a child should be murdered who was born viable and could survive outside the womb, she said, “Every. Time. The choice is the landlord’s, not the tenant, nor the neighbour’s.” She confirmed that she supports all abortions, regardless of the case, the stage, or the reason...(Read More)

Although Chick-Fil-A denies that their change in philanthropic giving has anything to do with pressure from the Left, their choice in dropping organizations like The Salvation Army in place of organizations like Covenant House is very telling...(Read More) 

What national pro-life groups desire is a large, diverse group of followers who are simply trying to make moral arguments to end abortion. The cost of pleasing so many people of various backgrounds means refusing to call abortion murder or refusing to hold those mothers accountable who seek the murder of their child, as they don’t want to offend a large segment of their supporters...(Read More) 

Comments like “we’ll see” and “I wonder if this is a P.R. stunt?” or “Remember Bob Dylan?” have flooded social media, and to a degree, this was expected given the attitude many Christians have towards celebrities who profess to be believers but live a very hypocritical life. But are the sins of Kanye West too great for God’s grace?...(Read More) 

Legislation must be put in place to prevent any possibility of permanently scarring an innocent child. Even if both parents agreed to transition a child into a new, imaginative gender, what right do parents have in abusing their children in this manner?...(Read More)

Choosing the right translation is easier said than done. If you’ve ever walked into a Christian bookstore or shopped online for a Bible, you may have realized rather quickly that there are a lot of options.
