Joseph And Benjamin. Series

Contributed by Claude Alexander on Oct 22, 2020

We find that in 43:1-14 Jacob tell his sons to go back to Egypt and buy a “little grain” as their stocks are almost over. The sons refuse to get back unless Benjamin is with them.

Jesus From Eternity, And Prophesied. (No Comparison To Muhammad) Series

Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Sep 1, 2015

As I state in the message, comparing Jesus and Muhammad is pretty unfair. Jesus is eternal. Muhammad was temporal. Jesus is God. Muhammad is mere man, and admits it. Jesus is the Son of the Father, Muhammad was a spokesman for a distant god.

These two men call for your allegiance, one out of the history books, one by His ever-living Spirit. Their sayings and their lives are in total contradiction to one another. If one ...read more
