Seems useless to me. What is clicking on the fb icon supposed to do? I have a fb account and don't see any thing that it does. It doesn't take me to a HN fb page, is it supposed to?

Well, to be more clear about what I can agree to…I believe that the eternal Father together with His own eternal 'Arm' which is the eternal Word of God that became flesh, and the eternal Holy Spirit make up the fullness of God Almighty. The eternal Arm apart from the eternal Father and eternal Holy Spirit is not the fullness of God Almighty. The…[Read more]

When you have faith in Jesus, you do have faith in YHVH. He gives gifts to men, some are pastors. The guy in the video is a pastor, gifted by YHVH. People, as gifted pastors can at times be used of God to encourage our faith. Do you believe that is possible, Kerwin? Watch the video and you will be encouraged by the God given gift of a pastor.
