Yeshua on Ethnicity
One favorite encounter in scripture is Yeshua meeting a Samaritan woman at Jacob’s well.

(John 24:27) Samaritans claim to be descendants of the… Continue reading Yeshua on Ethnicity

History Will Show
History is regularly debated, but it has the advantage of the old adage, “Hindsight is twenty twenty”, meaning once all the facts are gathered and subjected to verification, truth emerges.
