Quote (Ed J @ April 17 2012,04:14)If you studied the bible as much as you study those trying to prove it wrong you would be a lot better off.If you knew anything about me, you would know that it was through studying the bible that I came to unbelief.  I read it carefully, looking for divine inspiration, but instead, I found it to be exactly what…[Read more]
