    Jesus healed on the Sabbath. Where in the Bible does it say that you cannot do that? The question of what you can and cannot do and when is the debate.

    It is the Sabbath, and Yeshua went to the synagogue as all pious Hebrews did in His day. Mark’s author sets up the event by telling us that “they” were watching Him, observing what Yeshua was going to do. Why are they watching Him? At this point in the Gospel, the leaders of the various sects of ...read more

    based on 6 ratings
     | 5,050 views

As believers, we all agree on many things when it comes to God, the Bible, and the church. Let me ...read more
