Published on Sep 7, 2011 (Posted with permission from Dr. James White) The Trinity is an essential Christian doctrine, but these days it seems to be all but forgotten in terms of what is taught from the pulpit.

In my coverage of Prophet Rabbi Jonathan Cahn and his book of mythology called The Harbinger (TH) here at Apprising Ministries I have told you that, by far, the best critique of TH I have yet seen is The Harbinger: Fact or Fiction? by David James.
