The Rotting Carcass

Posted on June 20, 2018 by ehurst

Jewish Claims of Superiority

Posted on June 16, 2018 by ehurst

They claim to be superior to Gentiles. Jews do have a divine advantage. Paul declares it in Romans 3, but it goes all the way back to Deuteronomy 7:6-11. Yet, notice their advantage fades if they depart from the Covenant. … Continue reading →
