Who are we?
This website is an
outreach of the Christian Apologetics and Research Ministry
found at www.carm.org. Our
concern is that God be properly represented and not belittled in
such a way that His majesty and glory are not violated.
We are those who seek to honor God according to His instructions
in the Bible.
We do not support any teaching that violates God's word.
