Teachings of Jesus — John 8:31-47
Faith is not an ethnic identity. The issue here is not who was born of Abraham, but who embraced Abraham’s faith. On the surface, the English translations of this passage can be somewhat confusing. If these folks began believing in … Continue reading

Theology and Practice: Ecclesiology
