No Comment The Righteousness of the Law
In Romans 10, Paul speaks of his fellow Jews who sought to attain to righteousness through their own works, a course which left them far short of obtaining the glory of God.

For many the resurrection is an after life or out of body experience. We do not deny that resurrection extends beyond the physical realm. Jesus said, He who believes in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live, (John 11:25). However, we must accept ...
