The Son Of Man And The Son Of God Series

Contributed by Trevor Chuma on Dec 22, 2017

Who is Jesus, Where did he come from. What is his nature and person. Is he really God.

If you study the four Gospels you'll see that most often Jesus referred to himself as the Son of Man, and sometimes called himself the Son of God.

The Miserable Son And The Maddened Sibling

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Oct 24, 2022

Was the miserable son wasteful? Why did the father not punish the young son, if he deserved it? Was the maddened son self-centered and resentful?

By and large, he would have gotten this at his father’s death, although fathers in some cases decided to split their property early and resign from dealing with the estates. What is ...read more

A Son Is Given Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 5, 2010

The prophecy of the virgin in Isaiah 7 has been denied by many religious "experts". But what does their denial say about them... and what does it tell us about what the prophecy actually said?
