Re: NatlGeo:"Jesus" special issue
Interesting observations, as always, eish. Question : then what does one do to guard the intuitio/nous ? I'm sure there must be volumes written about that over the ages. But what simple things are recommended ? It is a difficult task and certainly not one I can claim expertise in. Indeed many v...

Re: NatlGeo:"Jesus" special issue
