We hope it will be an encouragement and challenge to God’s people to carefully examine and discern Truth. We also offer other items that emphasize the authority and sufficiency of Scripture alone. While the positions presented here are based on years of careful Biblical research, we recognize that other respected men of God differ. If you have a question that perplexes you, please send it along so that we might address it either in an article or in our “Q & A” section. Other comments are also warmly welcomed. Letters to the editor will also be published . This publication is sent FREE of charge to anyone who requests it. You can receive it either in hardcopy or, to save money and time, you can receive it by e-mail attachment in PDF format. To aid in the ministry, tax-deductible donations will be greatly appreciated, but never demanded.     Archive     Issue 52 – November/2009 – 1 John 5:7–8: Beyond a Reasonable Doubt?
