Another crazy one: they no longer believe in salvation by faith alone. You won't believe me but it's true. They now teach works salvation, almost all of them, as if they have always done so. They now say you have to earn salvation by obeying them well enough. Of course it's possible they quietly changed their minds on this so they don't have to say certain political enemies of theirs aren't all going to hell, but a lot of the older material on it has disappeard too.

Interestingly there are also now a lot more additions to the Bible which seem to confirm their new teaching, and only the 2nd-century heretic Marcion posessed older versions of some books, which are much more similar to what we all remember.

I am one of them but I feel like they all left me. I don't even recognize them anymore.
