Scripture has it, not on bread alone shall human creatures live.Hovda, Robert W
I have two chapters engaging the most commonly cited biblical “proof-texts” for and against the doctrine of perspicuity, though my goal there is not to decisively prove one interpretation superior to another, but rather to explain to interested readers how the Catholic tradition has understood ...
(I’m not judging them: I would have been, too!) Of course He did. But the fact that He led them this way on purpose seems to me to indicate this is a situation they could have have trusted Him for. They had just seen Him challenge and defeat all the Egyptian deities by the pla...
“Bible” at all. I am all for teaching the Bible. If my local high school offered a Bibleelectiveand was seeking local pastors to teach it, I would sign up. But I am not for mandating the teaching of the Bible or mandating that copies of the Bible be placed in every classroom, ...

Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed— in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. ...
“All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.” Jesus receives the people that God The Father has sent to him, not because he...
