John the Baptist and Religious Leaders
  • Post published:April 20, 2020
  • Post category:Inquiring Minds

Image by Richard van Liessum from Pixabay Is some of the disdain for John the Baptist by the Pharisees and religious leaders because of his choice of food as well as preaching? It was certainly not preferable to eat bugs like locusts but the law did allow it. I think…
