not; but keep it still within his mouth.

..........
YES, SAD TO SAY, BUT MANY LIKE THE WAYS OF SIN MORE
THAN THE WAYS OF THE LORD. AND MAN THINKETH THERE IS A
WAY THAT SEEMS RIGHT TO HIM, BUT THE END THEREOF IS
DEATH.
THE GREAT APOSTLE PAUL WAS INSPIRED AS RECORDED IN THE
BOOK OF ACTS, TO SAY, THERE WAS A TIME GOD WINKED AT
ALL THIS FOOLISHNESS AND SIN OF MANKIND, BUT NOW HE
CALLS ALL TO REPENTANCE. AS NEVER BEFORE FROM THE NEW
TESTAMENT TIMES GOD IS SENDING HIS MESSAGE OUT TO ALL
NATIONS, AND 100S OF THOUSANDS HAVE COME TO REPENTANCE
IN THE LAST 2,000 YEARS. ARE YOU ONE OF THEM?
