Thanks a million for the articles. Am on them now. Would get back to u soonest. God bless you.
Heart felt thanks for the Articles on Eschatology, Am going through them and understanding the fulfilled prophecies, God bless you and the work.
Very interesting reading.
I don’t agree with a lot of what is present here so far, but I absolutely am excited for the chance to learn and understand more about what others in my life believe; moreover, I intend to read through and study objectively and with full intellectual honesty. It will either convince me, or allow me to make a stronger case for what believe- But one way or another, with the Holy Spirit as my guide, these resources will most certainly aid in making me a stronger Christian.
Thanks, Charles.
