    Elizabeth Tebby Germaine
    “… I went back to the stories people wrote about Him. It was mostly crazy stories written by people who called themselves Matthew, Mark, Luke and John … just stories, nothing you could rely on are they! We will never know.

He was good at describing this to people, …the blazing furnace, the place of wailing and grinding of teeth.”

Up there in the skies was also a metaphor of immortality.”
