    I'm reading every single word of this forgery today. You'll see the clear agenda of the author, as well as how it changes the biblical story to promote the exaltation of Mary.

    Andy Stanley vs the OT: The Hebrews Series pt 2 (1:1-2)

    Most people don't realize that Hebrews 1 refers to the apocryphal book, "The Wisdom of Solomon" in addition to Proverbs 8. Once you do, this raises questions about whether or not Hebrews is teaching that Jesus was created, since those other books indicate that Wisdom was created and Hebrews connects Jesus to that very concept of Wisdom. We'll dig deep on that topic as we continue this detailed, verse-by-verse study of the book of Hebrews. My notes from today's study: Click Here New Hebrews serie
