deal of audacity in a person. A person has to be confident in front of a crowd of people, which in countless amounts of cases nearly all people fear public speaking.

inane logic, is one Scott McCall, or as he is often mockingly referred to, Werewolf Jesus. This nickname was brought forth by the way many of his fans treat him, as if he can do no wrong. Those critical of the character often point out his self-righteousness, his hypocrisy, his bizarrely naive way of trusting anyone, or his apparent ineptitude at being a leader. Whenever faced with these arguments, however, the fans always pull out their crushing final blow, their trump card. If you criticize…

The books within the Old Testament are like a narrative, they are stories that explain how the world was created and preparing us for the coming of Jesus.

Norman Geisler describes in his book how Jesus…
