What Jesus actually said, and what was added later.

Short lessons that measure what is taught in his name against his own words. With the Bible open, and the history behind it.

The gap

Much of what is taught in Jesus' name today has little to do with what he said. Certainty without humility. Judgment without mercy. Wealth sold as a blessing.

The test

Every lesson takes one teaching, prints his words in full, tells the real history of how something else took its place, and measures the teaching against him.

The verdict

Then it says plainly what it found: a contradiction, an add-on, or a silent room. And it ends with a keeper, a teaching of his worth living by.

Mark 9:7
7A cloud came, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.”

Scripture is quoted from the World English Bible.
