A New Child of God

What about the Deity of Christ?
According to 1 Tim 3:16, Jesus is God manifest in the flesh. However, in Jn 20:17, Jesus said, “I ascend … to my God.” In Rev 3:12 he referred to “the temple of my God, and … the name of my God, and … the city of my God.” And again, Jesus cried out on […]
Is Abortion Wrong?
Yes, abortion is wrong. The courts have decided that abortion is legal. However, just because a thing is legal or customary does not mean that it is RIGHT.
