When you decide to avoid healing, it is called "secondary gain factor". It means that there is... Sign in to see full entry.

Was Jesus God incarnate?

There are many believers who are convinced that Jesus Christ was God incarnate. Some seem to cling to illogic in their deductions and assumptions of biblical truth.

The rising and falling of many

Some people are misunderstanding what I have been trying to say. I do not profess that we can achieve this state under our own steam. That is a ludicrous idea. This state is created in us, by the father. Only he has the power to lift us up. However, what I am saying is this: The knowledege of how... Sign in to see full entry.
