Who do men say that Jesus is?

The Cambridge-educated English writer and comedian Stephen Fry said this about God, live on television: “Why should I respect a capricious, mean-minded, stupid God who creates a world so full of injustice and pain?” Given that the Bible asserts that all Creation came into being through Christ, then if the Bible is right, logically Stephen… Continue reading Who do men say that Jesus is?
