Oh, But for a Crumb- O.T. Law reads harshly for Gentiles, but Jesus changed all that. Jesus knocked down many O.T. divisions. part 1 of 3

The Jews taught a religion which attempted to stop sin from progressing from a person's mind and heart to a person's hand, eyes, and lips. Jesus taught a system which promoted quenching sin before it could take root in one's heart or mind. (part 1 of 2)

Jesus believed and preached traditional marriage, -Have ye not read, that He which made them at the beginning made them male and female-- This sermon includes a reading of Hans Christian Andersen's The Emperor's New Clothes -Public Domain Mark 1.0-

Mary Magdalene went to Peter and told him Jesus' body had been stolen. Peter ran to the tomb, looked inside, and left ... believing a lie. After speaking with Jesus and the angels, she told Peter her first report was wrong, and that Jesus had risen from the dead.

Ya'll, it takes grace to understand grace.
