What and When is the Passover?
(Copyright 2017) by James Steinle (Swanville, Minnesota) The confusion of which day is the Passover arises when some think of the Passover as the meal of the Lamb.

Martin (Portland, Oregon) Most Christians commonly assume that the Bible shows the prophets Enoch and Elijah as having been translated to heaven back in their times and that they are now living in an immortal state with Christ and God the Father (II Kings 2:1,11; Hebrews 11:5).

God Loves Us Unconditionally
(Copyright 2023) by Zac Poonen (Bangalore, India) Satan asked permission from God to sift Peter as wheat (Luke 22:31).

There are three New Testament texts which […]
