Do I have a favorite Psalm? Stand by. When I learn enough about Psalms, maybe it can pick one.

Are you asking if I smoke? Well, no. Not tobacco, not weed. Not even corn silk. :) Never did drugs, accept if a doctor suggested it. Many friends who experimented have died. Many who experimented still live.

Yes, I know. The Trinity only restates the Bible. If fact it seems like such a reasonable idea, one wonders why people argue about it. However, if Jesus is the Holy Spirit, he should have no need to receive the Holy Spirit. Or is he the Holy Spirit because he received the Holy Spirit. Is it a...
