Thought I'd drop this here
If you're like me, you're disappointed when you order something like orange chicken and find it to be coated in a soggy coat of batter ( yech )
We want the crispy chicken that stays crispy in the sauce, even after being reheated. After eventually working out a great...

" What do you think? Was there one source, two sources, four sources, or more sources ? "
I asked you about final form letters because without adding them to the Aramaic scripts, Hebrew would not exist, and therefore the Pentateuch wouldn't either

I wouldn't fret too much ;)
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works ?
ημερα ( hemera - day ) in that verse of Matthew doesn't necessarily refer to a singular day, it's...
