The characters in the movie impersonate these traits. Regardless of race or religion everyone

As a result‚ many scholars agree that there is a difficulty to understand Paul’s view of the Law. For instance‚ George Eldon Ladd confesses that Paul’s idea regarding the issue of the Law is difficult because he
