Jesus In 700 B.c.

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Dec 13, 2000

The best defense of the faith is fulfilled prophecy. The prophecy of the atoning death, burial, and resurrection of Christ both affirm that Jesus is the Messiah and help us understand the nature of the atonement.

Jesus in 700 B.C. Isaiah 53 intro... 1. There is a lot of unbelief out there. 2. Being phoney is an issue in many areas, including theology. 3. Many people think our beliefs are phoney: they think the Bible is anything but supernatural, that Jesus was a mere man who died never to rise again, and ...read more
