the words of Jesus. I found an old Red Letter Bible at a yard sale. Told the seller I’d been looking for one of these for years, in that case he said I could have it for free. It’s old and beat up like it had been thru a war or two. All the words attributed to Jesus are in red.
Hard to find anyone more Secular than me, but I try to study religions. Took a class in college, Anthropology Of Religion and loved the class.
