Hi Charles,Quote Hi wispring,Explain to me in a simple way.Why Jesus felt that it is necessary to massacre the flesh,and not simply having his head chopped??   In order to fulfill prophesy. Quote Psalm 22:15-17King James Version (KJV) 15My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the…[Read more]

Maybe he heard this:Quote John 9:3-5 (King James Version) 3Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. 4I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. 5As long as I am in the…[Read more]

May God be with you and not the adversary! You know Tim I stated “some” in my post. I should have clarified I am not of the same mind as some. With Love and more love, Wispring
