In Christianity, clarifying the doctrines inferred rather than explicitly stated by Jesus is paramount. There is no higher authority than that which Jesus himself articulated. The doctrine of the Trinity, universally acknowledged in orthodox Christianity, is believed to be Biblically authenticated. Jesus’ verbal endorsement is essential for the validation of…
The Chosen Few
This topic may seem unpopular, as it appears selective rather than inclusive. Nonetheless, its purpose is to elucidate issues and rectify misconceptions.

Did Jesus promise to prosper His disciples?
Jesus proclaimed that only the truth would liberate us (John 8:32). During a temptation, Satan offered Jesus all the kingdoms of the Earth if He would worship him (Matthew 4:8-9).
