Hello Misael, Blessings!

Your class on the Doctrine of Salvation (Soteriology) sounds interesting. I bet you are learning a lot. When you write about how Satan has subtle ways, it’s true. I think your post gives us the perfect strategy for combating that and it’s to live just as Jesus did: “hanging on to the word of God.” I do have to… Read more

Connections of the teachings of the Qumran community and those of the New Testament. There was speculation that Jesus was modeled after the Teach of Righteousness—there are slim changes of it. There is evidence and many scholars do not employ this school of thought. It was also thought that Jesus was also a part of the Essenes community. …
