No one has yet discovered the fountain of youth, and neither has anyone been through that veil of death to return and tell us what it is like on the other side.

Scattered among the letters which he addressed to the churches are a few verses that almost seem to contradict what he wrote in other epistles. At least they have been interpreted as contradictions.
