     | 3,836 views

    Text transmission is a critical part of our faith. We must be assured we have heard from God. Here is a comparison of the two processes that brought forth the 2 Holy Books of our faiths.

Possible answer one: In Israel, it was the religion. That is, the encounter. For many hundreds of years, there was no full book in Israel. But the ...read more

    What role does conscience play in Christian citizenship? That is the study presented in this message.

    “One must be in subjection, not only to avoid God’s wrath but also for the sake of conscience.” How many sermons have you ever heard concerning the conscience?
