Refuting One Muhammadan’s Rabbit Trails Paid Members Public
I am going to repost my challenge to a rather vile Muhammadan who wrote a post attacking the Bible for a supposed error concerning its teaching that rabbits chew the cud (https://bloggingtheology2.com/2018/12/07/on-rabbits-and-rumination-a-response-to-christian-interpretations-of-leviticus-115-6/).

Here is another installment (/2018/10/20/jesus-is-jehovah-god-according-to-the-jehovahs-witnesses-bible-pt-6/) in my series where I prove from the New World Translation (NWT) of the Jehovah’s Witnesses (JWs) that Jesus Christ is Jehovah God in the flesh.
