Translators & ‘the lying pen of the scribes…’ Pt.4

Posted on September 5, 2013 by Pete Rambo

Questions Christendom can’t (or won’t) answer re: marriage…

Posted on July 16, 2022 by Pete Rambo

My position on marriage has been clearly stated and, I think, very well defended from Scripture, both Tanak and apostolic writings. Honestly, I think the position is bullet proof and unassailable, though I’d love to publicly debate/defend the position. The … Continue reading →
