    Much of the Sermon of the Mount contains beautiful and encouraging lessons. However, it also contains some of the scariest teachings Christ ever delivered. This short study looks at the scariest passages.

    The Sermon on the Mount - that body of teaching found in Mathew 5 thru 7 - is generally viewed as the hallmark of the teachings of Jesus.

    The Two Roads

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Sep 16, 2006
    based on 64 ratings
     | 15,278 views

    When Jesus spoke of two roads, two gates, two paths, he was speaking in ways which people understood. Religious teachers then always spoke about there being two ways; one which leads to destruction and one which leads to life. So that part of Jesus’ teaching was not surprising. However, the way ...read more
