Romans 3:11 none
understandeth
Ephesians 4:17-19 understanding darkened
II The Greatest
channel of Revelation in the Old Testament is Moses
All of the Book of
Genesis is direct revelation
What man could tell
about creation of the earth or Adam and Eve?
The enemies of God have always been
rejecters of Genesis chapters 1-3
John 5:44-47 are sobering
words.
