The first sign to me of their propaganda was their architecture
of what the place and role of Scripture is in Christian moral formation and ethical decision-making today is not one that I believe has a single answer.

What makes a Christian life Christian? To me a Christian life is where you believe that God is your lord and savior and that you have faith that what happens in your life is by the grace of God. Also in a Christian life, many events can happen that test you as a Christian. God has made a plan for every single person’s life and many people try to change Gods plan with their own plan for their life.
