There are many other great inventors who used their God-given minds to create many
other things that are in use today: such as the Wright Brothers – the airplane; Benjamin

“But I see another law in my members (
human nature
), warring against the
law of my mind, and [
trying to
] bringing me into captivity to the LAW OF SIN
which is in my members” (Romans 7:23).
