John Milton’s “Paradise Lost” can be described as an epic poem of Christian nature. The theme of Milton’s poem is not that of a common epic poetry of war, but more or less deals with the fall of man from righteousness.

I for one had a rather confusing experience drifting from one end of the religious spectrum to the next.

Converting from one religion to the next exposes the mind

Paul, the Imposter?
Paul, a Liar?! If Yeshua had in fact been referring to Paul as a false apostle and liar in the book of Revelation, how is it he was a liar? Obviously, the claim of apostleship itself might be considered a lie. But in my thinking, the label of "liar" implies a person who uses conscious intent to deceive. When Paul called himself an apostle, I believe he really thought he was one. Therefore I
