The Week That Changed The World: The Day Jesus Silenced The Skeptics Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 3, 2021

Shortly after throwing the Pharisees and their cohorts for a loop over the issue of paying taxes to Caesar, the Lord Jesus confronted and rebuked the erroneous Scriptural teachings of the Sadducees, the skeptics of His day. The Scriptures are the best weapon in the arsenal of believers.
