You know, A. Keep your faith, hope, and love in Jesus.
Grace says
This is a wonderful event! Thankyou to all the sponsors, and this helps so many children. The negative comments will always be present.
Raymundo says
I heard Rex is going to give a talk called ‘Sue Thy Neighbor’. He claims there is an error in the ancient texts where the word ‘sue’ is mistranslated into ‘love’. It should be a riveting presentation. Maybe it will become the Ted Talk he has so desperately hoped for.
William says
Rex is the original “Boy Named Sue”.
DoDa says
When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops?
The Nine Worlds says
Christianity is based on pagan origins. Cultural appropriation at its finest.
Godly One says
All those so called christians who will all end up in hell
Alexis says
Clearing up the confusion of the first two comments: True Christianity is not based on pagan origins. Those are men’s traditions, not God’s Word. Also, Hell means “sheol,” “grave,” which is where we all go when we die. Another twisted perception made up by men. BTW, you don’t have to go to GraceFest; no one is forcing you.
William says
Just how do you know what “God’s” words are Alexis?
Anything you proffer as proof is manmade which you have already dismissed.
Grace says
Divinely inspired by His Holy Spirit through the men He chose to use, such as Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Apostles, and too many more to mention. GraceFest has many sponsors and all are welcomed to this peaceful event.
God Is Great says
@William…. You don’t get to decide what is Godly amd what isn’t… God mandates that.
Your task then requires you to try and use that brain God gave you (there is your proof) to analyze, hypothesize and find reason to believe in Him.
In other words, the burden of proof that He exists is not placed upon Him (and yet in His ultimate grace and wisdom, He does provide us with a never ending array of examples). It is up to you to figure it out, in an attempt tk save yourself from eternal Hell!
