Dr. Shane Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Since I don't understand Hebrew, I wouldn't have much use for it. I wonder how much good a Bible-believing Christian could do with $50 million. That is enough to produce a couple seasons of The Chosen. phkrause 1 Quote Pastoral Family Counselor...
