The Lost Books of the Bible

6.21.2021 Stephen Pidgeon Articles by Dr. P

Because we publish more than 66 books in the Cephertm, we are often accused of "adding to the word". Nothing could be further from the truth, and that statement simply reveals the accuser's lack of understanding as to the context of the commands given in Devariym (Deuteronomy) 4... Read More

It is often claimed by those with a rudimentary understanding of the Ivriyt (Hebrew) language that the word – or title, if you will – Elohiym (אֱלֹהִים) means gods.
