Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.

You're listening to Daily Truth.

Here's a fun fact, another Christian mythbuster. None of those three words in the Hebrew are translated as an illegal immigrant.

0:27.7

Not one of them. They're all immigrants, but they're all there legally. They're all there legally. And there is a certain criteria that must be met to be there.

0:34.6
