    • The Other Worldview

      Exposing Christianity's Greatest Threat

      • 272pagine
      • 10 ore di lettura

      The book explores two fundamental worldviews: "Oneism," which posits that all is unified, and "Twoism," which recognizes a clear distinction between creation and the Creator. It delves into the pagan origins of Oneism and its pervasive influence in Western culture, arguing that it ultimately fails to provide salvation or meaningful transformation in the world. Through this analysis, the author critiques the implications of these worldviews on society and individual belief systems.
