Welcome to my little Christian doctrine website. I am an ex-word-of-faith Christian who started studying sound doctrine and had his eyes opened.

This is a collection of articles about what I have learned about sound doctrine so far, some of the common errors floating around, and pointers to other (better and more detailed) sites on similar subjects.

Note: I use the word "heresy" in its ancient meaning throughout this site, meaning something that is a clear departure from the faith. I was originally unaware of the modern meaning that means error, but not necessarily a departure from the faith.
