Femi Aribisala: Be warned, Christmas has nothing to do with Jesus

by Femi Aribisala Christmas is no longer about the birth of Christ. Jesus warns that the thief has come to steal, kill and destroy. (John 10:10).

Femi Aribisala: Why was Paul the apostle so boastful?

by Femi Aribisala Those who insist Paul’s word is the word of God might need to explain his hypocritical doctrinal somersaults.
