The teachings of Michael and
Debi Pearl appear to be Biblical and
logical
on the surface, but research and experience has shown them to be
otherwise.
This web page is meant to be a clearing house of
information and
arguments
against these teachings.
I started this page in Sept of
2004 with my arguments
against the Pearls'
teachings, as well as my husband’s arguments
and a few more arguments.
I
then started adding as many links
as I
could find. I have continued to add information as I find it.
I have now moved to a new, more organized website, by the grace
of God, which you can
find by clicking on the title above.

I do not agree with much that this site espouses, but this is such a
good analysis of the Pearls' teachings that I had to include it.
