At least we’re not “insane,” like some think Paul was.

I suppose it depends on what “like Paul was” means.

LOL.

I’m confident that many of the rabid folks would assert that I’m MUCH MORE insane than Paul was!

LOL.

I think I’ll go with God’s assessment. He knows where the accuser of the Bretheren vs reality starts and stops.

Though . . . as Eric Fromm asserted . . . in an insane society . . . e.g. as the one Othuga and the globalists are so busy constructing . . . only the insane are truly sane.

LOL.

I think it's a common belief of unspiritual people to consider prophets, like Jeremiah (considered one of the greatest by the way)and Paul, to be wide-eyed crazy people, clad in goatskins and going around claiming to speak for God. Nothing can be farther from the truth, but their own "superior reason" tells them that this is true. Many believe the Hebrews were nomadic goat keepers who couldn't possibly have known much of anything.

Both Jeremiah and Paul were of the tribe of Benjamin, no small thing for those who know biblical history.
