@robertangelohillman
Have you found Jesus? I am glad you left that cult. It is only a religion and offers no freedom but in Jesus you will find true freedom and peace for your heart.

Merry Christmas! Welcome to the freedom of living in grace, not law (For sin will not have authority over you; because you are not under law/legalism but under grace. Romans 6:14.)
@BibleIllustrated
I love this one... Being joyful isn't a friendly suggestion from our God, it is a commandment! Rejoice, people! :D
