TKOh, I don't disagree – but this whole "the bible is the set and only text" thing makes me wonder – it really just means a group of us become a cult preaching that dogma – no different to any other religion, and my main…[Read more]

Very Sad indeed. The funny thing is you call a Pure MONOTHEIST a non-believer while you accept…[Read more]
