A Question of Pedegree (Part 2)

The Life and Teachings of Christ
The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg

In this continuation of "A Question of Pedegree," Steve Gregg examines the concept of genuine discipleship and the dangers of mediocrity and nominalism in Christianity. He emphasizes the importance of a true relationship with Jesus and the need to keep God's laws to please Him. Gregg also addresses the false claim of the Serpent Seed doctrine, which goes against the idea of regeneration being present in anyone who believes the Gospel. He ultimately highlights the importance of seeking the truth and living a life that pleases God.
