Therefore, can only know if our spouse is a man or woman by their declaration of identity. 3. If our spouse changes his or her identity, and […]

This is new. An atheist suggested as an explanation for Jesus’s tomb being empty is the possibility that people ate the body of Jesus to gain his powers! First, Jews and Romans were not cannibals. Second, she admits Jesus had powers! Third, she admits the tomb was empty! Even in this ridiculous rationalization that is […]

I have decided to become the spokesman for the Church of Christ. We don’t have an earthly headquarters, nor a national convention. So I am taking it upon myself to handle that responsibility. “But what right do you have to do that?” some might ask. I don’t, and yet isn’t that exactly what happens when […]

John 3:16 and Peter’s Sermon on Pentecost?
