The Transformation of the Cross: By Dr, Clovis Benjamin Nelson

  From Instrument of Death to Holy Symbol Dr Clovis B. Nelson expressed a thought-provoking statement on June 15, 2023, regarding the remarkable transformation of the cross from an instrument of death and torture to a sacred symbol.

It is open to interpretation, allowing everyone to find personal meaning in it.

The Guinness Book of World Records will have to seriously add a new category to take into account the begging of President Zelensky. Earlier this month, Zelensky traveled to the G7 summit in Japan and successfully negoti...
