Galatians Revealed: Grace vs. Law

Galatians 1 and 2
Introduction
I set out on another great scriptural adventure through the letter penned by the Apostle Paul. One day I was in my office and a man from the African continent approached me about his need to celebrate the Passover.

Read The young girl should light before her mother in case she needs assistance from her.

The correct time to light the Shabbat candles is 18 minutes before sunset every Friday. Young girls should light just prior to this time."
I'm already tired just reading the detail of the lighting of the Sabbath candle 18 minutes before sunset every Friday. I magine that you must figure out where you are going to be every Friday 18 minutes right before sunset.
I prayed and asked God about this and all H ...
