Description
Christianity has obscured the fact that Jesus taught Judaism. This loss is visible in many ways, such as the misinterpretation of many New Testament Scriptures. This book rediscovers the unyielding, even strengthened, commitment to the Law by Jesus and the New Testament authors. With both Bible citations and historical references, this book restores a full understanding of the gospel of the Jewish kingdom. Because Jesus taught Judaism, His followers...

We have all been in Sunday school or Bible study classes in which questions are asked and one gets a stare of surprise from the teacher and/or pastor that implies it is not relevant to the topic being taught or studied. Not so with the point of this book. It is the author's goal with this exposition to take you with him on a journey back in time, and so traverse events that began with the first man, Adam, and his wife, Hawwah-their fall, forfeiture...

In the latter part of 2018 Pastor Benjamin Blankenship was tasked by the Holy Spirit to write a book regarding the Bible's egalitarian view on women within ministry. Throughout the entirety of scripture and history alike, there is a consistent pattern where God calls women to step forward and religion berates them. The book "Thank God for Women Preachers" acts to serve as
both a Biblical and historical marker of such.
Like the man dying in the gutter...

For some thousands of years, the World has been the battle ground to decide which religious viewpoint, is to become the main player in the "God" stakes, but, none of the three main contenders - Judaism, Christianity, or Islam - can really substantiate any claims that they, alone, can speak with authority, of God's precepts.
That they have the right to speak of their representational view-points and Pathways is, of course, undoubted, but the thousands...

Could Judas have been, forgiven? Did he ask for forgiveness? Will an earthly court adjudge him unforgiveable? Many questions surround the destiny and eternity of the man who sold his Lord and Master for thirty pieces of silver and committed suicide thereafter. But even, the divinity of Jesus (in most people's psych) makes Judas more accursed.
Patrick Muntu explores the minds of the opposing sides on these questions. He sums up acknowledging the supremacy...

Most Bible commentaries take us on a one-way trip from the twentieth century to the first century. But they leave us there, assuming that we can somehow make the return journey on our own. In other words, they focus on the original meaning of the passage but don't discuss its contemporary application. The information they offer is valuable--but the job is only half done! The NIV Application Commentary Series helps us with both halves of the interpretive...

The books of Jeremiah and Lamentations cannot be separated from the political conditions of ancient Judah. Beginning with the righteous king Josiah, who ushered in a time of glorious but brief religious reform, Jeremiah reflects the close tie between spiritual and political prosperity and disaster, between the actions and heart of Judah and her kings and their fortunes as a nation. While few of us today have any firsthand understanding of what it...
