Christ overheard His disciples arguing about who would be greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven (Mt 18:1-6). I like His disciples because they are just like us today.

Nothing is more misunderstood in the Bible than Joseph’s coat. The Greek translation of Genesis has several glaring mistranslations which survived in the various English translations made from the Septuagint. These have become “tradition” and converted into stories, movies, and plays all with the same erroneous theme: Continue reading “Understanding True Jewry – Joseph’s Coat of Authority”
