In pastor Doug's latest book he asks, what if the most common modern interpretations of some of the Bible’s most debated passages were deliberately tampered with by those who opposed Jesus Christ?

This book uncovers a forgotten second-century campaign that reshaped how key Old Testament texts particularly around the phrase "sons of God" were read—and how they are still read today: Gen 6:1–4, Deut 32:8, 43; Ps 82; and related passages once carried a clear supernatural meaning shared by Jews and the earliest Christians alike: heavenly “sons of God,” a divine council, and a coming divine Son who would inherit the nations. These texts were foundational to early Christian claims that Jesus is the unique Son of God, the second divine figure called God who stands in the council, judges the lesser “gods,” and receives the worship of angels. That all changed in the early-mid second century when the rabbis went on the warpath, changing their own religion and influencing Christianity for the negative in massively important ways that still reverberate today.
