The Passover and the Day of Atonement both have their fulfillment in Jesus, but how do we see this in Genesis?

“That’s the beauty of note investing. You don’t have to do it locally. It’s not like a development deal or a rental property where you have to be semi-local because there are no tenants or maintenance. It’s vacant land that is the collateral on these notes. We do deals in 30-plus states and that’s how we’re able to really scale it.” -Quinn McArthur…

Apologies to Bishop Ussher, but it is impossible to calculate the age of the earth using biblical statistics.

Death before the fall? It began when Eve decided and they both ate...or did it? It might not be that simple. Plus, in studying, you must have learned that man is mortal, but what about animals?
