The Leap of Faith

Does the story of the children of Israel enslaved in Egypt represent the initial sinful condition that one called of God may find themselves in? Is the wandering in the wilderness symbolic of the spiritual struggle of rejecting one's past sinful lifestyle and in turn learning obedience to the Lord's commandments? And could the promised land also be related to the kingdom of heaven, which has been prepared for repentant sinners who have chosen life over death? (Deuteronomy 30:19) https://theleapoffaith.org/

Now the Bible tells us in one place that Moses married an Ethiopian woman, but in another place Scripture informs us that Moses married a Midianite. Does this mean that Moses was married twice? And if so, did Moses' Ethiopian wife come from the mixed multitude who also went up out of Egypt along with the Israelites in the Exodus? https://theleapoffaith.org/

In the early 8th century AD, the Arabs conquered the geographical area we know today as Central Asia. However, the Arab conquest of Central Asia was not easy for the Turkic peoples of the steppes fought down to the death against their Arab invaders. The Arabs did eventually wear down the defenses of the the Turks and finally achieved their goal of conquering the peoples and territories of Central Asia. https://theleapoffaith.org/

In both the Gospels and in the book of Revelation, Jesus speaks of certain "keys" that are understood to represent a deeper spiritual mystery and allegory. For in Revelation 1:18 Jesus states, "I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death." This passage reveals that Jesus, being the firstborn from the dead, has power and dominion over hell and death. https://theleapoffaith.org/

What happened to the Garden of Eden after Adam and Eve fell from grace? Was Eden a part of this earth, or was it in heaven? Could Eden be somewhere in the world today, but hidden from the eyes of sinful men? Or, has access to Eden now been grated to faithful souls who put their trust in the Lord Jesus Christ? https://theleapoffaith.org/

Enoch walked with God and was then taken to escape death, but where exactly did Enoch go? Does the Book of Jubilees explain what happened to Enoch? Does Enoch play a special role in God's plan for the salvation of mankind? And will Enoch's return to earth usher in the end of the world? https://theleapoffaith.org/

The Bible speaks of two strange creatures named Leviathan and Behemoth. Are these mythological animals? And if so, do they symbolize a deeper spiritual mystery? And if they were real animals, could these Biblical beasts really be dinosaurs? https://theleapoffaith.org/

After being in the presence of the LORD, Moses had to wear a veil over his face to shield the people from the glory of God. Did Jesus also use the flesh of His human body to act as a veil, so that men were not struck dead by the almighty presence of God? Also, does God place a veil over the eyes of unbelievers in order to harden their hearts just as He did unto Pharaoh? https://theleapoffaith.org/

Did the Apostle Thomas travel all the way to India in order to convert the Hindus to Christianity? And did St. Thomas use the figure of the Indian holy man or sadhu to better explain the divinity of Jesus Christ to the natives of the subcontinent? https://theleapoffaith.org/

The Seamless Robe of Jesus (also known as the Holy Robe), is the robe said to have been worn by Jesus Christ during His earthly ministry. Is it possible that the robe of our Lord has been preserved even to this very day? If so, where on earth could the Holy Robe rest? https://theleapoffaith.org/

According to its textbook definition, a prophet is one who utters divinely inspired revelations. However, is a prophet not only a person who can predict the future, but also a man or a woman that teaches God's law and reprimands God's people when they deviate from the statutes of the Lord and violate God's commandments? Can a prophet curse someone? https://theleapoffaith.org/

Since the Bible tells us in Deuteronomy 34:5 that Moses died, then how could he be one of the two witnesses of Revelation chapter 11 who are killed and then risen back to life again? Will Moses be resurrected twice? Also, if Enoch is still living then could he be one of the two witnesses? Will Enoch's death fulfill Hebrews 9:27 which tells us that it is appointed for men once to die? https://theleapoffaith.org/

On top of being swallow by a whale, did the prophet Jonah in fact die and then later get resuscitated back to life? Did the soul of Jonah go to hell, and is the sign of Jonah spoken of by Christ a symbol of the resurrection? https://theleapoffaith.org/

Is it possible that some of us have encountered angels on this earth without knowing it? If so, then shouldn't we as Christians be hospitable to strangers? Additionally, shouldn't we as believers also show charity to those who we do know? For as the Lord said, "it is better to give, than to receive" (Acts 20:35). https://theleapoffaith.org/

At the second coming of Jesus Christ there will be a resurrection of the dead, but what will become of those who are alive during this most powerful event? Will they escape death and be given new bodies in the twinkling of an eye? And, is the doctrine of the rapture really the resurrection of the dead which will occur on the Day of Judgment? https://theleapoffaith.org/

When Adam fell from grace by eating the forbidden fruit, the Lord did indeed chastise him, but was God's punishment of Adam by proxy, or was it a direct chastisement? Did God curse Adam or did God curse the earth from which Adam (the first created man) was formed from? https://theleapoffaith.org/

As we know, on the day of judgment the faithful will receive an incorruptible body similar to the glorified body of Christ. But what about the wicked? What type of body will they receive at the Resurrection? https://theleapoffaith.org/

The following presentation is a response and a rebuttal to the Muslim argument which preaches that Jesus never said, "I am God worship me." https://theleapoffaith.org/

In 722 BC the northern kingdom of Israel fell to the Assyrians, and the ten northern tribes were led away captive never to return. A few generations later in 586 BC, Judah was conquered by the Babylonians. The Jews would live in Babylon as exiles for a span of 70 years, and this period of Jewish history is known as The Babylonian Captivity. https://theleapoffaith.org/

Melchizedek was a type of Christ, and Jesus now remains a high priest continually after the order of Melchizedek. Just as Jesus Christ is eternal and is referred to in the Bible as the Ancient of Days, so too does the priesthood of Melchizedek remain forever with Christ Jesus enthroned as our great high priest and the mediator between God and man. https://theleapoffaith.org/

The Blessed Virgin Mary was a virgin before, during, and after she gave birth to Christ. This video will strive to support that belief and make a solid case for the perpetual virginity of Mary. https://theleapoffaith.org/
