What Does Genesis 1– 3 Have to Do with Our System of Government? If you want to get into a heated argument, go to a political message board and assert that America is a “Christian nation.” That question is not only an emotional one, but it is fraught with difficulties, not the least of which…
Following John’s introduction and vision of Christ in Rev 1, he records a series of seven small letters, like “mini epistles,” nestled into Rev 2-3.
