    God even sends Jesus-Christ to us him not a hundred angels... not the best of the pastors, but Jesus himself! An eternal consolation - not for a moment or a moment as a consolation which would come from the "world" in the tests.

They warmly decorate our houses rather than warning of suffering. Particularly in the suburban Bible Belt, our versions of Christianity depict sanitized pictures ...read more
