WHY SO HARSH? by Adriel Sanchez for Core Christianity In Matthew 23, Jesus Christ gives a rhetorical lashing to the scribes and Pharisees. His words are a scathing exposé of their hypocrisy. He calls them children of hell (v. 15), blind fools (v. 17), greedy and self-indulgent (v. 25), white-washed tombs (v. 27), and serpents (v. 33). So much for the gentle Jesus, meek and mild!

Christianity is not rocket science By Dan Delzell, Christian Post Contributor Man does science with his soul. Your soul includes your intellect, emotions and decision-making ability. And most importantly, your soul is capable of interacting with God. Christianity is not man reaching up to God, but God reaching down to man. Man did not ascend to Heaven in order to assist God.
