Healthy Faith Vs. Demon Faith

Titus 2:2

"18 And the scribes and chief priests heard it and sought how they might destroy Him; for they feared Him, because all the people were astonished at His teaching.19 When evening had come, He went out of the city.

Truth was blurred by wrong teaching and evil practices; and that was unacceptable to ...
