Those who support the practice of abortion do so based on the notion that a pre-birth “fetus” and a post-birth “baby” are two entirely different things. Yet neither the word of God nor common sense allows for such a distinction.
Is there any evidence that Jesus really was the Son of God?
How does one explain Jesus’ injuction for followers to “hate” their families?
As Jesus prayed on the Mount of Olives, “his sweat became as it were great drops of blood falling down upon the ground” (Luke 22:44). Did blood actually come from the Lord’s skin, or is the language merely a figure of speech emphasizing the Savior’s agony?
The Qur’an teaches that Gabriel delivered a revelation of God to Mohammed. But Mohammed’s message contradicts the Bible in a multitude of passages. Here is one of those instances.
