Q. Why are there so many debates about tithing today?
JC Pennys’ chain of malls in America has the testimony of tithing; why is it negated today?
Looking unto Abraham, he gave a tithe, Jacob vowed and gave a tithe, even before Moses came a…
How do we read that Satan had received authority over all the kingdoms of the world? That is, he received them, and so offers them to Jesus in the following verse (and of course he cannot offer something to Jesus that he does not possess)…
I’m comparing both Matthew and Luke’s genealogy of Jesus.

The Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14-30) is nearly identical to the Parable of the Ten Minas (Luke 19:11-27).

King James, together with a few other translations, has "fish and honeycomb" in Luke 24:42, while most other translations only mention "fish". Why is "honeycomb" missing? Is "honeycomb" a newer added…
