CHRIST & CREATIO EX NIHILO Members Public

The Scriptures teach that God brought the entire creation came into existence from nothing. This is known as the doctrine of creatio ex nihilo (“creation from/out of nothing”). The sacred writings also teach that God is fully aware of every created thing that he has made. 2 MACCABEES 7:

WAS REBECCA REALLY 3? Members Public

In this post I quote from a rabbinic Jewish source refuting the lie that Rebecca was three years old when Isaac married her. This will help to expose and silence all those Muhammadans who appeal to rabbis like Rashi who erroneously believed this lie. It is obvious why these Muslims

THE CHRISTOLOGY OF ADAM AND ISAAC Members Public

In this post I will be looking at specific early Christian apocryphal and pseudepigraphic writings, which give us an idea of the early Christological views held during that period. Some of these sources are believed to have originally been Jewish works that subsequently underwent revision and redaction by Christian scribes.
