1 John 3:11-12 says: “For this is the message which you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another; not as Cain, who was of the evil one and slew his brother.

I was at the DFAC eating dinner the other night with a secular “atheis...  Read More

“But [Jesus], after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God…For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified,” Hebrews 10:12, 14.

They were written in the same order as they appear in your Bible. The dates of their authorship are as follows: on or prior to A.D. 50, sometime in the 50s, 60-61, and 80-90, respectively. There is in fact only one gospel that Christians believe in which i...  Read More

Sorry for the delay! Afghanistan's internet isn't as good as the states.“For if the inheritance is based on law, it is no longer based on a promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by means of a promise,” Galatians 3:18. Around 1450 B.C. the law was added to the promise(s) made much earlier to Abraham around 2100 B.C. Now today, even much later, when schooled in the law, it reminds us why promis...  Read More
