What's all this Jesus stuff?

Well, I was curious so I did a word search. According to the Online Bible, the word Jesus appears by itself in a verse 686 times in the King James Bible, but the word Christ only appears by itself 266 times, and the words Jesus Christ appear together only 187 times. So, what's all this Jesus stuff? Well I guess it's in the book.

Bible study course

Thanks to all for putting down on paper a wonderful study guide for us. "Which Old Testament Laws Apply to Christians Today?" was enthusiastically received by many, I am sure. I love it. I have read it, and I will go through it again with the scriptures.

I think the Bible study lesson was the most excellent I have ever read. It explained everything well. Keep up the good work.

I've been in the church 35 years, and this is the best unlearning experience I've had. The explanations about the Feasts are great.

Henry Gutterman

Just wanted to let you know how inspiring the Bible study course was. I have learned so much about the old and new covenants. Mr. Armstrong said it was easier to learn new knowledge than unlearn old. He surely was right.

Thank you so much for this eye-opening and inspiring lesson. I've been reading the Bible for 35 years and didn't understand scriptures the way you explained them.

They jumped out at me. They were there all the time--I just didn't see them. Some of them are still not clear. I'm working my way out of the fog. It is hard to change your way of thinking when you've been taught to believe a certain way. Only God's Spirit can clear away the fog.

When I received the Bible study course titled "Which Old Testament Laws Apply to Christians Today?", I was elated. That was the question I had 14 years ago when I first began attending the Worldwide Church of God, but never had answered.

I also have had a major breakthrough in my spiritual growth and understanding. I can't tell you how exciting the Bible has become to me now--and prayer!
