The birth of Jesus had a story: In Nazareth, a city of Galilee. The virgin's name was Mary was betrothed to Joseph. Before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. Joseph her husband was minded to put her away secretly. While he thought about these things, Ga...
Our Lord was born on a manger. He chose such a humble birth, on this planet Earth. He had only shepherds and cows beside his parents to amuse his baby eyes when Jesus was born in the manger. On each Christmas eve, just remember the humble birth of our Almighty GOD Jesus Christ as ...
is a Jehovah’s Witness creation, originating in aWatchtowermagazine. Not a single one of the thousands of born-again geniuses who orgasmed over the picture noticed it was the product of a sect they detest. Again, I felt compelled to alert them to the fact. ...

The slave would be led to a doorpost and the master would take an awl, and push it through his ear lobe. This designated the slave to be forever “owned” by a specific master. Herein lies a picture of the Christian. Many times in the New Testament we are called to be servants (sl...
