In the account in Gen 2-3 both Adam and Eve sin by disobeying God and eating of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. However, Eve is not mentioned in Romans 5 (though Paul does mention her elsewhere, e.g. 1 Tim 2:14). This is presumably because Paul is drawing the contrast between Adam [...]

The word “forever” in the Bible would usually be better translated “age” or “of the age” or “age-lasting”. So Jesus will be king for the millennial age.
We can not be certain where Jairus lived. In Luke 7:1, Jesus enters Capernaum, and the next day he goes to Nain (v11). Later on in Luke 8:22 he crosses the Sea of Galilee to the country of the Gadarenes (v26) and then later “returned”, which is where he meets Jairus (v40-41). So it is [...]
The future king of Israel is here named “David” reflecting God’s promise that an heir of David will rule over Israel (cf. Jer 33:17; Luke 1:32). The prophecy is not about David himself, but about his heir, the future king of Israel — that is Jesus.
The story of the woman caught in adultery (John 7:53-8:11) is not included in some of the earliest manuscripts. It was included by Jerome in his translation of the NT and so was in place c.380, if not earlier. If this section was not originally part of John’s gospel, is it an authentic testimony about [...]
Jesus was God’s son, because he came into existence by the power of God causing Mary to conceive him, thus making God his father. Jesus had no human father. Matthew 1:18-20 Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together [...]
Sheep. And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with fear. And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I [...]
Baptism symbolically washes away our sins and we are born again to start a new life in Christ. For example, And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. [...]
Jesus or Jesus Christ is mentioned approximately 968 times. Christ (without Jesus) is mentioned an additional 286 times (approx). Making a total of approximately 1254 times Moses is mentioned 852 times. Abraham is mentioned 250 times and Abram 62 times making a total of 312 times. David is mentioned 1141 times. So Jesus/Jesus Christ/Christ occurs [...]
Why did Jesus say “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel”? (Mat. 15:24; cf. 10:6)
The Jews, the nation of Israel, have always been important to God because God made an agreement — a covenant — with one of their ancient ancestors, Abraham (Gen. 15:4-6). Because God loves Israel and is bound to her, he has, throughout history, sent prophets and brought saviours to help his people, Israel (e.g. 2 [...]
