One of me neighbours blew His stack when i mentioned 1 John chapter5 verses 6.7.8.Which proves the point that these three are one. rubbish he cried, ihave studied the scriptures and it does not say that. He was certainly offended.

I’m sure something weird happens in the spiritual realm when we tell people about Jesus…all hell gets ready to fight! It can become very uncomfortable but I’ve seen that when we have those conversations in love (without judgement) most are willing to listen. But it is just as important to listen to what they have to say (even if it is not our truth)…that is love.
