Bible Note: Hi John, And Moses said unto the LORD, O my LORD, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue. I can make an assumption and say I believe Paul had a Stutter, as it is also believed Moses had, I would rather believe they were both slow of speech Post by DocTrinsograce 04/02/08 No.201528 In Jewish tradition it is believed that Moses, the greatest man in Judaism, stuttered. Some think that Paul, arguably the greatest theologian of Christendom, stuttered (2 Corinthians 11:6). You are in very good company! |
