Appearing as a man, he humbled himself and was obedient unto stooping to die the death on the cross. This is why God elevated him higher than anything possible and gave him a name more exalted than any other name so that every knee in heaven, on earth and in the underworld will bend in adoration of the name of Jesus and everyone will acknowledge Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.</FONT></div> <bR> <div>      This is the magnificent Jesus Christ.  True God and  True Man. Those who don't want to love and adhere to the Truth will believe a lie and will surely be condemned by God (2 Th  2:10-12).</div> <div>      I invite all to join the true church and experience the joy derived from complete unity with the glorified Savior.
