    A paraphrasing of Jesus & the woman at the well. I used it as a Christmas Eve story explaining the real gift.

    We all know the Christmas story and the reason we give gifts at Christmas is because of Jesus coming AS God’s GIFT to us but there’s only one Bible story where Jesus himself describes this gift he brought us and he actually uses the word gift. The story begins with Jesus sitting alone ...read more

    Problems With Oneness Theology Series

    Contributed by Jason Smith on Sep 16, 2014

     | 9,529 views

    Oneness theology denies the Trinity doctrine and claims that there is one person in the Godhead who has manifested himself in three different forms: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Is this belief true?

Please note, though, this is not saying there are three competing and separate gods (polytheism). The ...read more

    A perspective on John 1: 1-18. Jesus was born of flesh and blood just like you and me. And yet Christians confess that he is the Light of the world. How can this be? What sort of light is he?

    Reformed theology that God turned His back on Jesus on the cross. Is this Biblical?

    Did God Turn His Back Upon Jesus? Matthew 27:45-46 In my seminary theological classes, we were taught that God had to turn his back on Jesus when the sin of the world was laid upon Him.
