No, what is YOUR point by telling Pierre to “lose your carnal thinking”?This is simply tripe you've copied from Nick.3000 years ago, were all men “born equal” Ed? If you were born a slave to a Jew, were you “equal” to the Jew?

Wasn't it a carnal man who wrote the words you quoted, Ed?

Now surely they didn't…[Read more]
