No one knows exactly where Jesus was buried, but if the Garden Tomb is not that place, it’s very much like the genuine tomb. Jesus’ death fulfills a promise God made to Abraham thousands of years earlier, as part of … Continue reading
The Blue Parakeet: Naive Approaches
McKnight suggests that different people take different approaches to taming parakeets. Retrieval Some churches read the Bible to retrieve everything that was practiced in the First Century. If the early Christians met in homes, we should do the same. If … Continue reading
