One may wonder what the Greek scholars in Corinth were thinking when Paul told the story of the Children of Israel avoiding their leader, Moses, when he descended the mount after communing with God because his face “shone” [like the … Continue reading →

The following 2 part series: The God-Man Part 1 and The God-Man Part 2 is a talk on the doctrine of Jesus [Christology] that He is 2 natures in 1 person. This is a truth debated for centuries before finally … Continue reading →
