Best of BAM: Exposing Eastern Lightning
On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank reflects on the end of the fiscal year, underscoring Christian unity and global missions while warning about The Church of Almighty God (Eastern Lightning), which claims a Chinese woman is the reincarnated Christ and the fulfillment of Jesus’ Olivet Discourse.
