The extreme to which the church has gone in order to protect and
justify its various decisions regarding points of faith is
fascinating, but tends to obscure the truth. Revisionist history,
coercion, and propaganda were the order of the day when the major
items of doctrine were being decided. In fact, many of those truths
that we hold so dear in our Christian faith were decided, if not
invented, through or because of political means, and not by
theological insight. Many doctrines went well beyond what the early
church held as truth. To look behind the curtain of church history,
information should be viewed with a political as well as scientific
bias, and compared to other historical documents of the time. The
reader is invited to consider the history and virtue of the
doctrines of his church based on this new insight and to make a
more educated personal stand. In the end, one must ask, Where is
God amidst all of these rules, political maneuverings, and
doctrines? First, we will discover how our faith was changed. Then
we will discover where we left God. Items discussed include:
