An Eye For An Eye Makes The Whole World Blind

Contributed by Greg Colby on Aug 23, 2017

The scriptures in Exodus provide a limitation on unlimited vengeance being meted out when someone is wronged, however Jesus declared that even an eye for an eye was going too far - Jesus commands his followers to turn the other cheek - to not resist evil

On This Rock

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Aug 23, 2017

Matthew 16:13-20 What does this passage actually say and not say to us?

Prelude, Purpose, Plan Protestants, Orthodox and Catholics largely agree on perhaps 95% of the most important teachings of Christianity.

Who Do You Say Jesus Is?

Contributed by Thomas Clawser on Sep 2, 2017

Jesus gave Peter the keys to the kingdom. In similar fashion, Jesus grants me the joy of sharing the Gospel as He desires, guides and allows. You have the same opportunity.

Our professor described Jesus as “the proleptic, salvific, hidden appearance of the eschatological kingdom of God”. Did you get that? Take notes; there might be a test ...read more

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Oct 11, 2017
