********************
OrilliaMatters often reports on crime and on racism. Now, 200 new OPP officers.
There are 31,000 verses in the Bible. If folk would believe just ONE of them, these things would fade.
This is the verse: And God created Man in his image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. -- Genesis 1:27 (DARBY)
So, if you would believe you yourself are made in the image of God, you would not defile that image by committing a crime; nor by practising racism.
Also, if you would believe each other person is made in the image of God, you would never commit a crime against that person; nor think, say or do anything racist in relation to that person.
What a difference!
Even if you are not religious, if I could just get you to believe that one verse!
Ralph Wood
