Sorry my friends, given it a read, not really up my alley (though Jesus seemed like a cool guy). But thank you very much for your suggestions.

But perhaps you can answer a question. Is it our Lord, and Savior Jesus Christ? Or is it Our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ?

>>8231704
i never really thought of using a comma in this phrase, but if you were to use one it should go after savior.
>>
>>8231704
Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ
>Title, Title and Title, Name
>King of smegma, Dryest of Dicks, Anon
>>
In Search of Lost Time
>>
>>8231769
I was unsure if the phrase referred to two entities or one with two titles.
>>

>>
>>8231779
Jesus is our Lord and Savior; thanks be to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

I haven't read it, but Death of Ivan Ilyitch is about a guy who's dying and is unhappy with the life he's led or some shit. It's a cautionary tale.

Again, I have not actually read it.
