Have you ever asked yourself why: it was necessary for the Redeemer to be born through a virgin?a second birth is vital for one's salvation?blood is the antidote for sin?God commanded the eradication of entire races from Canaan, babies among them?God chose the ancient Israelites?the Bible regards the works of the flesh as evil? Why not of the spirit?Cain and his descendants had a different character from that of Seth's lineage?These and many more Scripture teachings are accepted as truth simply because they are found in the Bible.
