    Nick………To say one is the true way and bread to life, is far from saying the person himself is the giver of the life . Again Jesus' who purpose was to show us the way to a right relationship with God , but to give him the credit of GOD Himself is error of the the meaning spoken in the text. We look to Jesus as the way to that life from the…[Read more]

    Adam and Kerwin………….Amen to that, Changing the meaning of (word ) to mean Jesus or Christ is a pure corruption of scriptures, and what is amazing it doesn't even bother them to do that.
