    Hard sayings in Hebrews

    That's true that it doesn't say it was from Paul. It appears to be from someone who had a strong knowledge of the law and Old Testament practices, possibly someone of Jewish descendants or perhaps someone who had traveled with Paul. Passages like this I think are good in that the serve as a...
