THE SEPTUAGINT AND THE TRUTH ABOUT THE MESSIAH The October issue of the Prophecy Watcher’s magazine features my article on why the Septuagint and not the Masoretic Text (the basis of today’s Protestant Bible) tells the truth about who the Messiah is. I believe this article should be read by every Christian who cares about […]

This was a fun interview covering many of the topics in Rebooting the Bible and A Biography of the Christian Bible. I hope you will listen in and share if you enjoy the 80 minutes we conversed. Blessings to everyone!
The King James Bible Contained the Apocrypha? DO TELL! Much to the chagrin of King James Only advocates, it isn’t just Catholic and Orthodox Bibles that include the Apocrypha.

Only a few short years after the destruction of Herod’s Temple, the rabbis (aka “sages”) formed an instruction academy in the village of Jamnia (outside of today’s Tel Aviv), allegedly with permission directly from Titus himself to preserve the Jewish religion. The rabbis would teach young students the ways of the Torah, preparing them for […]
