On the Fifth Day of Christmas

The "five golden rings" represents the first five books of the Bible, also called the Jewish Torah: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy.*

The Bible starts with these five (5) books. These are the most attacked because they talk about the origin of life and the law. The first eleven (11) chapters of Genesis have been argued to be allegorical, but that is furthest from the truth. These Books show how humanity began: formed from the hands and mind of God; show how man sinned against God (the Fall) and He showed mercy and grace despite man's foolishness. It is the beginning of the Love Story and it sets the stage for Our Lover, Jesus Christ.

I pray that today, the Lord will help every person to read the Torah and see the Only Hope for mankind, Jesus Christ who saves us from ourselves.

God bless you all

Attention to those who have nothing to offer other than mindless drill or just want to harass me: DROP DEAD!

To the others whom I have enjoyed over the years, don't waste you breath on those morons. We have better things to do like contributing to society in a positive way.
