There are two people in the Bible who set their faces toward Jerusalem. The first was Jesus. Luke 9:51 says, "And it came about when the days were approaching for His ascension, that He resolutely set His face to go to Jerusalem." His ascension ... the time in which He...

God is not religious! We are, but He's not. You only have to look at genealogy of Jesus Christ to learn this.
Matthew 1 reveals that Abraham had a son named Isaac, and Isaac had a son named Jacob, and Jacob had Judah, the beginning of the line of Christ. Well, Juda...
