     | 2,567 views

    How did Paul respond to his critics ... ? ... Paul "... said, but we proclaim Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles" (I Cor.1:23 NRSV). The true gospel of Jesus Christ removes all crutches that people use to prop up their pretentiousness!

    After His resurrection, the Lord instructed the disciples to meet Him in Galilee. What's the significance of Galilee in Jesus and the disciples' ministry? The Lord's call for us to go to Galilee is still valid today.

    LET'S GO TO GALILEE "6 But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him. 7 But go, tell His disciples—and Peter—that He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him, as He ...read more

    In this fifth consequence of Adam’s sin which is death, we take a comprehensive look into what death means and examine all aspects. There are 5 sections in this and section 1 opens the subject up with a good look at the Garden of Eden and the entry of sin through Adam and Eve.
