RE: The Shocking Truth About the Bible
Thank you for posting @creatr.
Lovely presentation of Biblical scriptures in an interesting way....perhaps even causing a bit of curiosity in the unbeliever.......yet the scripture tells us that it is spirtual phenomenon and can only be understood by those in the spirit.

It is only when the Spirit gives life that we become able to respond to the offer:
Please do pray, along with me, that some who may read this do become curious, and are drawn by the Father to believe in our LORD and creator - God, Jesus. :D
