The King James Version is renowned as one of the most popular and influential Bible translations to ever exist, some would say it’s the only one. But can there be only one true Bible translation and what kind of impact does that belief have on those in the mountains? We’re wrapping up things as we finally tackle the question, if the king ain’t on it, is the King still in it? This is the final part in a mini series on King James Onl...

For many of us in the South the KJV is all we know, and that's not surprising. For years it's all the English speaking world new, but how did this idea that it's the only "True" Translation of the Word of God come about? Is it something that's just stuck in the South or is there truth behind it all? With Randy out for this episode, Colton will be taking you on a journey through the years as we explore how ...

The King James is the most popular English translation of the the Bible to date, but how did we get the thees and thous that we read so much of?

What is doctrine and why is it important? Isn't it enough that we all love Jesus, get along, and try to just be at peace with one another? Do we really need to define beliefs that could potentially cause disruptions in our church? Well that's the discussion today as we come to our mid-season finale, discussing the False Gospel of "Doctrine Divides". All opinions are those of the speakers as autonomous believers and do not represen...

When it comes to what makes us good people, does the good outweigh the bad? Can we reach the level of morality that takes us out of the dog house with God? That seems to be the case with the false gospel known as Moralism. Putting our good and bad on a set of scales to see which comes out on top. While we all like to think we’re part of the good ol’e boys the question we need to ask is, do we meet God’s Standard?

The Trinity is one of the most intricate and hard, downright near impossible, doctrines to understand. One God in Three Persons. But there are some here in the South that proclaim such a doctrine don't exist. That there is one God in one person and that's it, but how do you reconcile that with the truths in Scripture? Well that's the false gospel we're diving into today with Oneness Pentecostalism, and be assured we...

What if all roads lead to Heaven? Can't God just save everyone no matter what they believe? Why wouldn't a loving God do that? Even in these mountains there are some who hold to this very belief. While it may sound sweet as honey, the truth it betrays make it taste like vinegar. But why do people believe this, and what does the Bible have to say about it? That's the questions we're answering today as we look at the false gospel kno...

Baptism, Communion, even feet washing are seen as sacraments held for those who have put their faith in the Lord. But can we take these sacraments to places they were never suppose to go and make them into things that we never should've in the first place? Sacramentalism is a false gospel in Appalachia that tends to take these beautiful symbols of our new life in Jesus and make them a necessity to even have faith in Him. So wha...

Can our works secure us a place at the pearly gates? How do we deal with people who think that they've got it all figured out, and we need to do exactly as they do? Hope you're ready cuz next up on our travels through the False Gospels of Appalachia we land in a very familiar spot here in these mountains, Legalism.
