    If God was not longsuffering, the bible would've ended in three chapters. No one would've been here to read it except God and the unfallen angels. Oh how He loved us so! I am alive today for one reason; "The Longsuffering of God".

This all began when a small group of people sailed to land for religious freedom and in doing so many died. Since then we have evolved into a ...read more
