Book: Trump offered West Bank to Jordan; king: ‘I thought I was having heart attack’ Then-US president said to have proposed ‘great deal’ to Abdullah II in January 2018; Hashemite monarch quoted recalling: ‘I couldn’t breathe. I was bent doubled-over’ I was quite astounded to read this article...

What was the background, childhood and upbringing of David the Shepherd-boy, described in the Bible as a man after God's own heart? 1 Samuel 13:14 Linked is a Jewish story about him, sourced from the Midrashim. Please note: The Midrashim are not Christian canon and whatever does not come from...

Biblical reference: 1 Corinthians 11:27-34 It would appear from verse 34 that to eat it in an unworthy manner is to eat it because one is hungry, and not because they are doing it in remembrance of Jesus. However it is unclear if this is the only thing that makes one unworthy. Nevertheless...
