     | 3,370 views

    A look into the idea from the Day of Atonement of the "scapegoat." Jesus doesn't just forgive our sin - He removes our sin, like a goat being taken away into the desert.

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 1, 2025
     | 436 views

    The bread in the Lord’s Supper. We examine the Jewish Passover and concentrate on the unleavened bread. The Lord’s Supper came from that Passover so we see how it relates. Different denominations treat the Lord’s Supper/Communion differently. We consider the leaven as well.

    UNLEAVENED BREAD AND THE PASSOVER - AND THE LORD’S SUPPER – THE MEANINGS OF THEM ALL The purpose of this article is not for dispute. It is to provide information. I suppose some will disagree with me on some point here and there, because not all things related to this message are clear cut. ...read more

    This is the conclusion to Paul’s letter to the Galatians. Not long after the gospel was preached here and people were saved, there came in a group of people who were called Judaizers. They taught that is was not enough for a person to just embrace Jesus Christ, but that they also had to embrace the ...read more

It's a question that has been widely debated by scholars and philosophers and yet simply ignored or even scoffed at by scientists and atheists. That question is "what is ...read more
