One Bride For Seven Brothers

Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 2, 2022

This story is very important because in it Jesus confronted the great error that there will be marriage in Heaven and, by extension, that angels could ever have sex with humans. These two things are widely held even today.

One Thing I Do

Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Aug 9, 2005

Paul had one great aim and purpose of life. To this singleness of purpose he owed his exemplary godliness and his uncommon success as a minister.

We have here a very personal letter written by the Apostle Paul. What I mean by that is simply that Paul shares a lot of himself in this letter. He shares with us his thoughts and attitudes as he talks about his past and present circumstances and the hopes he embraces concerning his future. I ...read more
