But if God revealed to Adam that the "seed of a woman" will bruise the "head of the serpent" (Genesis 3:14-15), is there any doubt that Satan has a ...read more

    Jesus From Eternity, And Prophesied. (No Comparison To Muhammad) Series

    Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Sep 1, 2015
     | 4,106 views

    As I state in the message, comparing Jesus and Muhammad is pretty unfair. Jesus is eternal. Muhammad was temporal. Jesus is God. Muhammad is mere man, and admits it. Jesus is the Son of the Father, Muhammad was a spokesman for a distant god.

These two men call for your allegiance, one out of the history books, one by His ever-living Spirit. Their sayings and their lives are in total contradiction to one another. If one ...read more
