Then they cried out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and ran at him with one accord; and they cast him out of the city and stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their clothes at the feet of a young man named Saul. (Acts 7:57-58) For the ruling council, it was just too…
Is God or Man Responsible? Autumn asked this question a few weeks back: First of all, let me say that I very much appreciate your commentary. I use it weekly. It’s the first place I go when what I’m reading in the Bible doesn’t make sense. So, THANK YOU for such an awesome resource! I…

Macht nicht die gleichen Fehler Ihr Halsstarrigen und Unbeschnittenen an Herz und Ohren! Ihr widerstrebt allezeit dem Heiligen Geist; wie eure Väter, so auch ihr!
