Satan’s challenge to Eve, Yea, hath God said? (Gen 3:1) has been repeated since the dawn of history. Early in time it was the “new religion” of Nimrod and the Tower of Babel (Gen 10:11; 11:19). Over the centuries, thousands of false religions have spun off of the Serpent’s first lie. The Word of God has been challenged, attacked and rejected; and yet it remains sure.

I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ…
for therein is the righteousness of God revealed
from faith to faith. (Rom 1:16-17)
