WOW! I can&#8217;t tell you how much I have learned&nbsp;about God. I was saved in 1982, but feel I never got a real view of&nbsp;the entire Bible until now. <strong>And I never understood it from God&#8217;s&nbsp;standpoint.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I was so excited about this study and I wanted to teach it to someone&nbsp;else. I volunteered to teach it on Wednesday nights for our junior&nbsp;girls at our church.<\/p>\n<p>I just wanted to take this opportunity to tell you how much this has&nbsp;meant to me. Everyone should go through this teaching at least once&nbsp;in their lifetime. Oh how I wish I had heard this from the beginning,&nbsp; I believe I would have been saved at an earlier age.&quot;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mr. McIlwain passed on to me a letter he recently received.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-83","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","entry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/dave-brendle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/dave-brendle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/dave-brendle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/dave-brendle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=83"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/dave-brendle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/dave-brendle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=83"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/dave-brendle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=83"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/dave-brendle\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=83"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
