Suddenly, we have pastors and congregants removing the mask and fully embracing a version of the gospel they claimed for years didn't even exist. I write this as an attempt to hopefully allow some to see the reality of the change they have made. We all need to stop for a moment and answer a question Jesus asked in Matthew 16, “Who do you say that I am?”
