However, love is for peace and hatred is for war! !

So try to gain wisdom on this issue before it is too late!
For the collection plates are not even enough for these Pastors.

Derivation
The cause taken for an effect
And the effect taken for a cause
Are as per your derivation.
They may or may not be factual.

Do What Is Right Always
Fables,
False doctrines,
Endless genealogies to wake up from your sleep;
But the ultimate result of life is beside you,
And you have to do what is right always in this life.

And, you know, the fact is, if you believe in evolution, we all have a common ancestor, and we all have a common ancestry with the plant in the lobby. This is what evolution tells us. And, it's true. It's kind of unbelievable.
