Summary: The Galilee Episode
Here are some of the discoveries I cover in my book, The Galilee Episode: Two Men in One Bed, Two Women Grinding. I started my research over a decade ago, wondering if the couples in Luke 17:34-35 might be gay and … Continue reading
“Rapture Ready” Lee, Thank You So Much!
A “thank you” to “Rapture Ready” Lee. He sent confirmation of a thesis of mine. I am chagrined that I didn’t discover this reference myself. In the Bible, in addition to this word’s more typical meaning, the word grind also refers to … Continue reading
