Consequences of Tepid Christianity: The Boston Marathon Bomber's Widow
By Dr. Lin Weeks Wilder

Fish, Pork, Abstinence, Maccabees, the Antichrist, and the Jewish Conversion
By Scott Pauline
One of the primary errors of the Jewish People is the failure to discern between mere discipline versus doctrine, between what is merely external and what is internal, which is the only thing that really matters. In the Old Testament, Pork was absolutely forbidden--on any day or any time.
