    Blasphemy Of The Holy Spirit

    If you're a Christian & think you've committed the unforgivable sin, you haven't & you CAN'T!

    Theological question about Abram and Sarah.

    I've decided to study the OT a bit more and as I was reading Genesis I could not understand one thing and I know this might be a weird question to many. But. Why did God punish Pharaoh for Abraham's lie about Sarah being his sister, not his wife if Pharaoh did not know he wasn't told the truth...

    ELCA and United Methodists Differences

    I keep trying to find the differences between ELCA and the UMC. I only find one major difference - that the UMC believes in becoming holy on this earth and has more of a focus on earthly works. However, they still believe in God's grace and that Jesus is the one who saves. They believe that...

    What I learned from the Syriac Tradition
