For instance, some legitimately ask how it is that the death on one Jewish man on a Roman cross can pay the penalty for all the sins of mankind. And then there is the stumbling block of the ...read more

But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do ...read more
