And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.Genesis 1.1-2 17 And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires...
I would not want to be in his shoes when he faces his Creator. I pray for the guy. It’s not that he’s not smart enough, he needs that different Starting Point, the different foundation to interpret those facts.
