LOL Jesus didn't need images. She was ALIVE when He walked the earth. You're going to be awfully shocked when you die, I suspect. You have such certitude in untruth.

Good point. If Jesus didn't honor His mother, He broke the Commandment to "Honor thy Father and Mother"

It actually requires more than just a translation. It requires being read in the correct context. Here are three rules to help with proper Biblical interpretation. 1. The Bible must be read in context of the whole of Scripture, rather than in snippets out of context filtered through one's...

I think we will all agree once we die, because we will see all truth.

Don't forget fixing our military. Get rid of the high ranking officers who are all about politics and replace them with officers who know how to lead men to fight and win battles.

The most important thing is to reject everything and everyone from the Democratic Party. They are straight up Marxists and traitors to what America stands for. Unfortunately, the Republicans are mostly spineless and disorganized. The entire government is corrupt, more interested in gaining...
