I see you still persist with writing such garbage as
this. How dare you suggest that God would only give us
99.9%. Why do you read your Bible properly and you
will find that God gave his all.
As well you ask other Royal Rangers to give you money
so you can have an overseas holiday, what gall.
Why don't go out and earn the money instead of asking
others for it.
William Driver.
