World shares Russia's pain

yeah, as a friend of mine said, it's a dim view of eternity ... as you say ... however the book does say they get wine, food and another one is quoted as 70 mansions each with 70 houses each with 70 couches (beds) each with 70 sheets of a different color each with a dark-eyed houri that regains her virginity.

apparently a mansion holds a house ... this book was written by an Eastern Indian which is why I selected it because it would be a critical, non-apologetic text. I did buy a koran edited by a muslim though, so I would be able to research the normal text (there were several versions that were obviously different).

obviously I'm not thinking conversion (LOL) just wanted something other than online sources for research. These are two good books for church pastors who want to be able to cite passages for an audience. I found them cheaper on auctions though.
