“Bootleg Christianity says that Jesus is a great addition to your life. There are things you need: you need a job, health care, relationships, and yes, you should add Jesus to that mix. But Scripture doesn’t give us that version of what faith and life is all about. It says you and I used to be dead, and now God makes us alive.” — Jordan Rice
Jordan Rice preaches on Ephesians 2:1–10 and warns against the kind of ‘bootleg’ Christianity that doesn’t recognize that we are dead in our sins.

But the Gospels are historically reliable. And the evidence for this is vast.
