      ​@@alisha8586 People are preoccupied with money making, shopping and luxury, seems it is never enough, but sin, no one even know what a sin is. Sin became an integral part of everyday life. Majority of people, especially youth, has no awareness of what is considered sin besides ten commandments, such as pride, laziness, envy, gluttony, fornication, avarice, etc.

      It may not be an “orientation,” either-That’s woke talk. Just as many believe it's a result, such as of molestation, of which Christian was a childhood victim.

    • @cratesofjr
      @cratesofjr 4 дні тому

      There is a lot of history on the origins of the Bible if you dig deep enough into history. One of the reasons for the confusion is because it’s based upon theft of a culture that came WAAAAAY before. For instance, the 10 commandments is inspired by the declarations Of Ma’at, which is a part of ancient African culture. Also, the Bible and Christianity hasn’t been around since the dawn of humanity (which began with the African woman 3 million years ago). It was created only less than 10 thousand years ago during a society of total mayhem and murder known as The Dark Ages. The Cross is a torture device, one of many invented by this peculiar society based in Europe.
