Hebrews 1 English Standard Version

1 Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. 3 He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power.

In this media I never get an argument back about what I post. It is safe and everyone that reads my posts seems to believe the 101 basics.

The issue for the godless is founded in self-satisfaction. They are content without worrying about a higher authority.
