when Paul told them that the Lord had sent him unto the Gentiles, war broke out. Most Bible scholars believe that the fulfillment of Acts 22:14 occurred during the time Paul spent in Arabia. Since Paul said he was not “one whit” behind the other apostles, it is not difficult to believe that…

The smooth conch shell and the rotting sow's head become clear models of good and evil as the story progresses. It’s purity, which is how the society started, was…
