Before I give the impression that this matter is open to debate, rest assured it is not. I am only supplying four reasons why Hebrew is better than Greek; there are a myriad of reasons. Some might even argue that it makes no sense to call one language “better” than another. I disagree. This type…

KJV Only Book Burning – My Perspective
HERE is a link to a video on Joel Watt’s blog about an upcoming book burning at a church in North Carolina. I wanted to give just one thought from my perspective. Someone needs to sneak in and spike the punch at this shindig. This is one of the reasons that God has given us…

The people of Israel complain against God and Moses. God proceeds to send snakes among the people to bite them and…
