The answer was simple: God's people don't follow His instructions. It was a wow moment for me, but yet so...
The debate between President Joe Biden and presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is over. It should be the last one. Did the voters learn anything new or otherwise. There has never been a debate between presidential contenders (to my recollection) before they became their party's official nominees. It was not a "classic" debate by any stretch of the imagination, because both President Joe Biden and Donald Trump stuck to their scripts. The only good thing about the debate was the rule where the other candidate's mic would be...

Be not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Chris, it is the ‘Power of God' unto Salvation to everyone who believes, and the just shall live by Faith (Romans 1:16-32).

Men have become vain, foolish, and will not Glorify God as God. Professing themselves to be wise they became fools. God has given them up to his uncleanness through the lust of the flesh to dishonor their own bodies b...
