For that reason, Norn sought some semblance of meaning behind the actions committed upon him, and his now deceased siblings, through…
massive guns, the sharp crack of rifles, and the smell of gunpowder were without pause. Blood-splattered bodies were sprawled on the trenches. The screams of agony and the earth-shattering crashes of shells would be enough to drive even the most stalwart to insanity. Corporal James of the 2nd Infantry Brigade ducked his head as a shell exploded, raining dirt and shrapnel upon his helmet. Leaning his rifle against the edge of the trench, he fired into no man’s land. Bullets whistled over his…

Jesus had led his followers to get the message he was trying to send to them. The apostles were delivered by the angels (5:19). Also the wonder-working power spread from the apostles to at least a few additional stalwart believers among them Stephen (6:8). The result of the message did not have such a good meaning left behind it. This particular act ended with Stephen’s stoning in the same city where Jesus was crucified (p.204).

Dick. For example, one…
