Contributed by John Williams Iii on Dec 5, 2023

Ang Pagbagsak Ng Tao Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on May 10, 2024

Ginawa ng Diyos sina Adan at Eva na may kaloobang pumili. Nagkaroon sila ng opsyon na sundin ang Diyos at ang kanyang utos o hindi sumunod. Ang paghila o pang-akit na sumuway ay tukso. Ang tukso at pagkahulog ay nagsimula sa pag-akit ng ahas kay Eva na suwayin ang Diyos.

Tinitingnan natin ang panlilinlang ng ama ng kasinungalingan. Itinala ng Bibliya na ang orihinal na mag-asawang Adan at Eva ay nalinlang ni Satanas at sinira ng kasalanan ang nilikha ng Diyos kasama na ang sangkatauhan. Ang pagbagsak ng tao ay nagsasabi ng kuwento na pangunahing para sa natitirang ...read more

The 70 Year Limit Series

Contributed by Allan Quak on Jan 1, 2019

Why Are Jesus' Genealogies In Matthew And Luke Different?

Contributed by Steven W. Satterfield on Mar 21, 2023

From https://zondervanacademic.com/blog/why-are-jesus-genealogies-in-matthew-and-luke-different This post is adapted from the Four Portraits, One Jesus: Jesus’ Birth, Childhood, and Early Ministry, a free online course taught by Dr. Mark Strauss. My notes will be added later.

The problem is: the genealogies are different. The Old Testament predicted that the Messiah would come from the ...read more
