After life, LOVE is the second greatest gift of God to man.A US congressman said:”27,000 women in Afganistan dies yearly in child’s birth. What has the countries of the World done about that? Nothing! but they are willing to send armies to eliminate God’s children.Hence the Bible says the East will be against the West.The time is approaching. This comment is not duplicated!
