(tomwebster;5723) Pointer, Go spew your trash somewhere else. 'Nothing from Jesus so well illustrates the depth of his suffering of soul as he felt himself regarded as sin though sinless (2 Cor 5:21). John 3:16 comes to our relief here as we see the Son of God bearing the sin of the world. This...

(tomwebster;5719) =================Christ was NOT forsaken by His Father, GOD. Who would believe in a God that would go back on His Word. Deuteronomy 4: 31 (For the LORD thy God is a merciful God) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he...
