We have to read the Bible, digest it, study it....with all the seemingly incomprehensible and sometimes contradictory readings. I need to use an annotated Oxford version to understand my KJV.
this is an invitation for you, onslowe, to Grace Tabernacle east of Wildwood. Not as painstakingly intellectual, but perhaps for now, a spiritual sanctuary.
