Killing Jesus

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Nov 4, 2013

When Bill O'reilly wrote Killing Jesus he meant it as a history book and not as a religious book. But did he accidentally meddle in our faith in the Holy Bible when he did so? Doubt in the Word of God has been a took of the devil from the beginning.

Many attribute this to John Steinbeck’s book- Of Mice and Men, written in 1937. He actually got the title from a poem by Robert Burns- To a Mouse, written in 1786. ...read more
