    Another member introduced this verse as a witness in response to a question I had posed. He then asked if I thought Jesus lied. (What a question to ask a disciple of the Messiah!) Jesus as a witness. That’s powerful. Was Jesus speaking to unbelieving Jews or believing Jews? Was Jesus...

    Bonus quote contribution from me. From my X / Twitter ”For you” feed a few minutes ago: ”Schools spend hours trying to ‘reach‘ the kid who openly doesn’t care, while the kid who tries every day quietly gets ignored.
