  • Wherefore Then Serveth the Law

  • 15 years ago

  • Who Are Gods?

  • 15 years ago
  • Hi Mike, Thanks for such a fast response!" Anyway, your message cleared up most of it, but I still have an issue with Jesus being called the mighty God, and his name Immanuel meaning God with us.

  • Did Christ Died Only for His Sheep?

  • 15 years ago
  • Dear Mike, I want so badly for what you teach to be true. I want all to be saved. I want to believe that God will save all.
