  • 41:21 - I had a priest tell me that biblical history started with Ch 11/12 when God talked to Abraham. He said everything before that was just a story to set things up. Is that true?
  • 46:48 - Could you explain 2nd Kings and the story of Elisha? It seems kind of random and I don’t really understand it. Why did they make fun of him and why was his punishment so severe?
