=Why Are These Controversies Showing Up Now? | |||
There are a number of factors that have allowed research to be carried out now that was incredibly difficult only a few years ago. These include things such as: | |||
#word and phrase search functionality for the Bible on the internet (do a search for "in the name of"--- very informative, particularly the OT scriptures). | |||
#word and phrase search functionality for the message AND an affordable way for all households to access all of the message. | |||
#multiple researchers who have published articles/books/videos showing issues with the message (it's much harder to ignore or discredit a multitude of voices). This has caused other people to add to the research, increasing the amount of objective information on the message. | |||
#google (search engines used to be MUCH harder to us | |||
#email (instant communication) | |||
