EVERYTHING 📕THE BIBLE📕 SAYS ABOUT: 👰MARRIAGE, DIVORCE & REMARRIAGE🤵

I have always been averse to the traditional teachings regarding this subject. Having been a Holy Spirit- imbued Christian warrior for many years now, I know the character of Christ. I believe this pastor explains Jesus' true, Biblical, contextual feelings in this exhaustively researched Gift. After all, twas the law, that killed Our King. Thank you, Pastor Mike. ❤️👰🤵
