Clarifying Notes: 

*When discussing Saul, it is Samuel's ghost that he attempts to call through the Medium at Endor (1 Samuel 28:3-24).

*The Medical condition that Jesus may have experienced is called Hematohidrosis: a rare condition in which an individual sweats blood due to suffering extreme levels of stress. It should be noted that most modern translations of the Bible state that Jesus' sweat "was like drops of blood," which may indicate sweating heavily. Either way, it is clear from the text that Jesus was experiencing high distress. (Luke 22:39-44)

*Proverbs 11:14- "Where there is no guidance, a people falls; but in a multitude of counselors there is safety."
