Read More“DOES THE ALMIGHTY CREATOR EVER MAKE MISTAKES?”
Tough one. When you think of babies born without arms or legs. You witness hardened criminals allowed to go scot-free, over and over again.

Read MoreMen. The very first species of human-kind that the Creator made, and with absolutely no instruction
