A Case for the Old Testament, The History Continues: The Exodus, Part 2
Last week we began a new study on the book of Exodus. It is after Genesis, not only chronologically, but in skeptical criticism of the narrative.

A Case for the Old Testament, The History Continues: The Exodus
This week we are beginning a new Bible study in the book of Exodus. Along with our study we will do some “apologetics” in order to answer skeptics who view the Exodus, along with its miraculous events, as fables.

A Case for the Old Testament: The importance of having a Biblical foundation for your faith
Last week we finished one of our “case for” classes on the Old Testament, and in two weeks we will pick up with a new class called “A Case for the Old Testament, The History Continues…”.

A Case for the Old Testament: Session 4, Part 2 – Christianity and Islam – Historical and Theological Differences
Last week we began session four with a look at Religious Pluralism and the fact that all religions, or faiths, cannot all have paths to God and Heaven, as is put forth by this view. This is because they are all foundationally, fundamentally and salvationally different on all of the most important views such as… Continue Reading
