That verse sounds like God intentionally hardened Sihon king of Heshbon so that he did not let the Israelites pass through. I did not see anything about...

The Bible speaks of the apostle Paul being called, or appointed as a preacher (I Timothy 2:7).

Unfortunately, we do not have the benefit of such visions a...

Your opening statement shows Calvin at age 27 in 1559. He was born in 1509, making him 50 at that point. The article is right that he did that work at about age 27, but that would obviously be 1536.
