What about Jacob? Or, can a man find healing in a woman? Part two.

On the subject of vengeance.

But before faith came. Galatians 3:23
Sorry, if this trip through Galatians is becoming tedious, but imagine that moment when a new reader drops in and has no idea of what we are talking. It happens. We are working our way through Paul’s letter to the … Continue reading

With the concept of a mediator in place, we continue. Galatians 3:20-21
When we last saw our hero Paul – I am just kidding because it has been weeks since I stepped away from my commentary on Galatians. Like most of Paul’s letters, this letter to the followers in Galatia is an … Continue reading
Jesus had authority attributed to him; why?
Recently, in our Men’s Bible Study, the group leader announced, we are still talking about Jesus Christ, the Anointed One. Since we are talking about Jesus, then what are His major attributes? Wow, for a brief moment I was overwhelmed … Continue reading

I have made my understanding and beliefs known to many. Is God just mean?
