by

I believe there are different types of intelligence. Some people are great at math. Others can easily diagnose what’s wrong with a car engine and get it fixed.

Warnings

Have you ever read the Old Testament and wondered how God could just wipe people out? I mean there’s the the flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, Jericho and all the nations in the land of Canaan. It just seems like lots of innocent people are suddenly killed as a result of God’s orders. Where’s the God […]

Questions and Wonderings
