One of the most heinous things a believer in Jesus can do is publicly ridicule and condemn a fellow brother or sister in Messiah, when only knowing part of their story and only seeing part of their more public fruit. Such ridicule and condemnation actually tarnishes you, while also spreading gossip (murder with the tongue). […]
All the biblical reasons why the Messiah must be God Himself – from a Hebraic perspective!! If you agree Jesus is God – PLEASE SHARE! By Eitan Bar Does the New Testament turn a mere man into God?
