    * It wasn’t always this way. I got it from taking repetitive tours at the gym. Do the work. *

    * Exactly what I was looking for in a gym. Same time tomorrow, or should I skip a day?” *

    * No. I’ve been hit by a few shovels. I scan the crowd and ask, “Which one of them looks like he’s going to be the next one to try? *

    * Mr. Ruffles will meet the cheeky squirrel another day. And when he does … You see, Mr. Ruffles‘ bite is worse than his bark, and a tattered squirrel will soon back me up on that.

    PETER AND PAUL AND THE RESURRECTION AND SALVATION

    Why are you asking? This is another reasonable question, and one that I would expect a newbie to ask. Are you telling me that you don’t see the body of Messiah presented in scripture? Are you telling me that the concept has no meaning whatsoever to you? If that really is the case, then we can...

    PETER AND PAUL AND THE RESURRECTION AND SALVATION

    Paul doesn’t say otherwise. I follow Paul because he, just like all of the other apostles, follows Jesus. Every follower of Jesus must follow the apostles.

    PETER AND PAUL AND THE RESURRECTION AND SALVATION

    Are you telling me that you don’t believe the audience that Jesus and the apostles are addressing isn’t all of mankind?

    PETER AND PAUL AND THE KINGDOM

    Why are you asking? It’s a reasonable question, and one that I would expect a newbie to ask. Are you telling me that the idea of ”spiritual Israel” is a concept that you don’t see in scripture? Are you telling me that it means nothing whatsoever to you?

    What books are you currently reading?

    * Book stores are a mixture of good and evil. The Bible Story is what people truly need in their lives. * Read widely. Read deeply. Read thoughtfully. Read critically. Above all else, read the Bible story. (And still some joker will ask me: “Have you ever read the Bible?” It’s as certain as...

    PETER AND PAUL AND THE RESURRECTION AND SALVATION

    There is only one gospel. When someone says that there is more than one then the preachers of one are pitted against the preachers of the other. Jesus and the apostles are teaching one audience, with one gospel -> that audience is mankind. The wall that separated the Jew from the Gentile has...
