Jesus is God The debate about the identity of the Lord Jesus Christ in this thread has engendered many strong emotions. There have been many questions/challenges issued against the deity of Christ. There are many things about God that we are not able (in our present state) to comprehend, for...

What LOVE is... ckfarbes: God has plenty to tell us about what LOVE is...let's read His word: I John 4:10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the payment for our sins. John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only...
