The similarities the Samaritan Pentateuch (SP) shares with the Dead Sea Scrolls (DSS), as well as many similarities with the Septuagint (LXX), challenge the longstanding view that the Samaritan Pentateuch is a later, borrowed, and altered form of the Masoretic Text (MT). The historical devaluation of the Samaritan Pentateuch requires reevaluation, based upon the contextual cohesiveness of the Samaritan Pentateuch, agreement with the most ancient texts of the DSS and LXX, and the uninterrupted and non-dispersed oral transmission of the Ancient Israelite Samaritans.

Jimmy Carter has been teaching Sunday school ever since he was a young midshipman in Annapolis. In later years he conducted religious services on submarines on which he served, and he even led the occasional class in Washington while he was president. For the last 25 years, President Carter has taught the adult Bible study at his church in Plains, where several hundred visitors join him each Sunday to understand the wisdom of the Bible and apply it to their lives.

The God of the Old Testament commanded and endorsed many practices that we find morally reprehensible today. High on the list was the institution of slavery, which features prominently in several sections of the Hebrew Bible. Fathers could sell their daughters into slavery; masters could beat their slaves; creditors could carry off children for failure to repay a debt; and foreigners could be kept for life, passed down as inherited property. How are we to make sense of all of this from our modern point of view?

This audiobook reveals great concepts which point to Yeshua the Messiah and are relevant for today's Messianic community and opens the gate, giving a glimpse of the deep mysteries encoded within the New Testament.

The Apostle Paul said that the rapture will happen "at the last trumpet". Hear how the rapture relates to Rosh HaShanah, the Feast of Trumpets, one of the seven feasts God gave to the Nation of Israel. My friend, someday you will turn on the news and see that millions of people have suddenly and mysteriously disappeared from all around the world. As I write this brochure, this disappearance is a future event known as "The Rapture of the Church".

Is the Bible just an abstraction or a real living entity? This book aims to answer the question. Part adventure story, part archaeological detective work, part spiritual exploration, this is the account of Bruce Feiler's perilous 10,000 mile journey across the Middle East in search of the roots of the Bible. Both an exhilarating journey and uplifting spiritual quest, Feiler recounts his experiences with humour whilst offering fresh answers to the most profound questions of human spirit.

In this update to "The Bride of Christ and the Rapture of the Apostolic church,' Dr. Thompson uses his years of studying Eschatology and the Orthodox Jewish Community to enlighten the Christian church concerning past events and those that are to come to come. Although this is not an exhaustive study on end times, it will serve as a cliff notes version for those who desire a basic understanding of how the modern church fits into God's plan of the ages.

The Bible tells us that Satan was thrown out of heaven: "And there was a war in heaven; And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent called the Devil and Satan" - Revelation 12:7-9

We have collected stories of his coming to earth from numerous ancient accounts. We have gathered scientific evidence of his coming to earth. Satan was indeed thrown out of the heavens. We have the proof. Satan caused great evil on earth. We have come to know him as the personification of all evil.

In 2006, I was attending several week-long classes at the Spertus Institute for Jewish Learning and Leadership in Chicago. One of the classes was titled “Who is a Jew?” and was taught by my doctoral advisor, Rabbi Dr. Byron Sherwin, of blessed memory. The course discussed biblical, rabbinic, medieval, and modern perspectives on the question. As Rabbi Sherwin was accustomed to doing, he typically included unusual cases for us to consider. Decades before, a student at the Spertus Institute had stirred some controversy.

Theology is meant to cause you to think unto God, and then, when the right understanding of God (and the good news) makes its way into your heart, theology is meant to cause you to rise up singing and praising him for who he is and for what he has done, and will do, in your life.

A scientist and former evangelical argues that holding onto a belief in a literal, historical Adam has forced many Christians to reject science and become intellectually isolated from the modern world.

The ark of the covenant is perhaps the most legendary and mysterious relic mentioned in the Bible, fascinating Jews and Christians for thousands of years and even spurring some to search for it. It is mentioned in both the Old Testament and the New Testament, as well as the Qur'an.

He believes his son, Rusty Thornton, is lost without God and takes him to a faraway place in the early 1950s near Spicewood, Texas, where he would never come in contact with people. He has an old King James Version of the Bible and began to try and cure his son’s affliction of skepticism.
