“This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!”
I get somewhat intrigued by what we would normally consider “obscure” comments in the Bible. I’m of the inerrant/infallible school of theology, not that I don’t have plenty of questions for the other side of eternity.

So here’s one of those parts to the story of the patriarch Jacob and his burgeoning family that I find interesting:
“Soon after this, Rebekah’s old nurse, Deborah, died. She was buried beneath the oak tree in the valley below Bethel. Ever since, the tree has been called Allon-bacuth (which means ‘oak of weeping’).”
I was curious why God put a little honorarium to this Continue reading “Now,…just who was Deborah?”
