Note: this probably wouldn’t have been posted at this point had it not been for Laura’s comment to Oh God (4) — Praying to Jesus? Calling on the Name of the Lord As we were further discussing this yesterday evening during out study time, it was curious to read the following scriptures: And Adam knew his > > Read More …
