    The Eternal Throne Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Dec 5, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,765 views

    The Letter to Hebrew Christians emphasizes the deity of Christ Jesus. Even long ago, some wanted to reduce His divinity to the status of a mere demigod, by identifying Him as an angel. The Word is quite aggressive in presenting Jesus as the Son of God, Himself very God.

You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your ...read more
