Just because someone says “It’s in the Bible” doesn’t mean they know what they are doing, or that they are correct. My husband was watching an episode of the old Western TV show “Gunsmoke” today. Marshall Dillon found a teenage girl with a newborn baby hiding in a cave. Her father sent her away to…
