Cursed be Methodist College. They had a false teacher named Everding; “Professor” he was of New Testament. A denier of our Lord and Savior, He rejected the Scriptures as true And the faith of students he would undo.To hell with anyone who leads others astray, Faking as a teacher of holy Scripture, Seeking the hope […]
