In the Worldwide Church of God there are several things I distinctly remember regarding the post-Feast of Tabernacle's time each year. 1) Sharing Feast experiences and messages when reunited in our local areas at services following …
Paul writes in Romans 5:12-14: Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned—(For until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when …
