Well:
I guess I can't say anything without it turning into a mess. People we are
debating theological idea's. Are you going to let the devil continue to
have fun? My goodness!! I am getting so tired of having a difference of
opinion become major points.
Here is a major point.
JESUS DIES ON THE CROSS TO SAVE THOSE WHO DIDN'T KNOW HIM SO THAT THEY
WOULD NOT HAVE TO SUFFER AN ETERNAL HELL. THE FREE GIFT IS JESUS!!
Enough said..
Lets go back to playing Royal Rangers.
