God established a covering for sin among Adam's descendants that was
mimicked by the Sumerians. No surprises there. It would be
surprising had God told them to go observe the pagans and do it their

We have wrestled with this for some time now. Challenges to our way
of thinking force us to dig deeper and examine our own convictions
with an intensity only borne of conflict. You have done that for me,
and I am in your debt.
