There never was an instant in which God’s Son could lose his purity. His changeless state is beyond time, for his purity remains forever beyond attac...

Enjoy David's talk about...

The movie Tenet is based on time inversion, the reversal of entropy. But the perceived conflict between present and future is fiction, and the Present Moment offers the gateway to Eternal Innocence in God. This commentary and teachings from Jesus Christ offer a completely new interpretation of the world through the Perspective of forgiveness. In gentleness are all unreal concepts of linear time released, for the past is over and gone and only Love remains.
