naught but a legacy of ignominy. ~Jerry R. Ensey

The Bible is clear that Jesus, the Son of God, prayed to the Father. By portraying the Sonas praying to the Father the Bible is making a distinction between the Father and Son The

Bible makes a distinction between the Father and Son hundreds of times, so this should

be no surprise. We cannot and should not deny these distinctions. To recognize and affirmthem in not an affirmation of Trinitarianism, for both Trinitarians and Oneness believers

alike confess these distinctions, but understand their nature and origin differently. ~Jason

and yours to discover. ~Kelsey Griffin

live a full and victorious life in abundant covenant relationship." (David S. Norris, Big

"The church and university can kiss and make up. Not Naturalism and Theism...Genesis 1

cannot be made to teach evolution--period. We may argue how long the creative daysactually were, but the language of the Bible will not allow evolution to be causal for the

world in which we now live." ~David S. Norris, Big Ideas.
