    We’ve seen artist’s renditions of Jesus. The flowing blond locks, bright blue eyes and the light skin. Why this portrayal? Some might say to just put a face to what the bible has kept a secret. However, it subtly alludes to a deeper meaning. And that is t

    A Rebuke To Forgiveness-Only Salvation

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Sep 30, 2025
