    Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 28, 2018
     | 5,434 views

    based on 4 ratings
     | 16,644 views

It is foolish to believe everything we are told and much of what we see. Lies and deception were used to tempt ...read more

     | 1,325 views

    Christians have recognized what observant men of all ages have noticed, and that is, that law that is a respecter of persons is an instrument of evil, whereas, law that treats all men equally is an instrument for justice.
