Jesus of Nazareth was God in human form. The Holy Bible is God in written form. Both the Bible and Jesus are called “the Word” (Jn. 1:1-4). John 12:48 states that man will be judged by “the Word.” What God-seekers must come to grips with is the Scripturally proven fact that the Word was written […]

Who And Where Is Israel Today?I have been a student of the Bible as long as I have been able to read. I thank God that my family had no written material available so that my insatiable hunger for the written word could be satisfied by only one thing–my mother’s Bible. When the Sunday School […]
