I’m reconsidering what the Bible means when it talks about “faith”. I used to think that it meant that you have to believe that God exists, and I do believe that is included, but that’s not really the crux of it. (no pun intended) It seems silly to imagine someone...
Faith
The battle is not Jesus vs the Father. Nor is it Jesus vs Jesus. Believing in a permanent, ongoing, inescapable torture chamber created by God from which God is trying to save us pits Him against Himself. It makes no sense. The Bible teaches just as all die in Adam,...

I believe this whistleblower, Carol Rosin, more than the current guy who swears he knows a guy who knows a guy who heard about “non-human biologics” on some downed aircraft that they claim exists. Carol Rosin, who worked with Wernher von Braun, has been warning us for decades that they...
