    Why I'm Pro-Life

    A mother killing the little person in her womb for her convenience is a "right" that proceeds to the killing of the elderly for convenience and will not stop there either... Utopian killing is a core feature of all utopian governments... Hitler sought not the exporting of Jews but their...

    Short story by your truly (Holy Spirit Baptism)

    The word of BY is the Greek word EN... Meaning IN... The word BY is a false translation and a re-writing of the Bible... We like to think of it as an "exegetical translation" because it re-writes the Bible to conform to one's preconceived exegesis of its theology... There IS a translation...
