The single word that disassembles MUCH Christian doctrine…

…the faith once delivered…

Posted on November 9, 2014 by Pete Rambo

Posted on February 27, 2014 by Pete Rambo

Last week I was pondering something interesting.  “The law is spiritual, therefore, it can’t be done away with!” I had determined to study and write about it, but you can tell by recent content that I have not had time … Continue reading →

Messianic Pharisees. Paradigm breakers!

Posted on February 3, 2014 by Pete Rambo

As we discussed yesterday, Christendom is generally not taught to have a high regard for the Pharisees.  Yet, ironically, we hold several Pharisees up as models of faith!!  How can that be? If you say, ‘because they stopped being a … Continue reading →
