Spiritual Growth Bible

Who was Jesus? Historical sources portray a person who was complex, multi-layered, and often contradictory to the tidy portrait that much of modern Christianity paints him as. Even the gospel accounts render him as both judge and healer, teacher and temple, servant and savior. A Doubter's Guide to Jesus is a persuasive and often challenging investigation into the historical figure found in the earliest sources. These sources, which include references both direct and indirect - from Roman, Jewish, and Christian accounts - offer us more than simple evidence that Jesus existed.

Dios te dará a conocer Su Raquia, esto es el firmamento gobernante en los cielos donde las huestes angélicas, las luminarias y los hijos de Dios se reúnen para gobernar con Cristo Jesús. Los entendidos, no son los que reciben la salvación, si no los que entendieron como radiar la Luz de Cristo para cambiar el mundo en que vivían.

Los íntegros y puros de corazón qué pueden ver a Dios cara a cara.

We need to understand something: God is. And he doesn’t change who he is because of what we believe about him. The fact is, he is holy, and he wants us to be holy, too.

How can God say, “Be ye holy for I am holy,” in one breath, and then, “All things are lawful,” in another?
