    Does Your Religion Influence Your Work Ethic or How You Do Business?

    Definitely! As one of Jehovah's Witnesses, I am guided by Bible principles in my everyday life - every aspect of life. There are thousands of experience which shows that JWs allow Bible principles to direct them in daily living. Jehovah's Witnesses in 240 lands worldwide are given this...

    What is the most depressing song ever?

    There'll Be Sad Songs (To Make You Cry) Billy Ocean Sometimes I wonder by the look in your eyes When I'm standing beside you there's a fever burning deep inside. Is there another in your memory? Do you think of that someone when you hear that special melody? I always stop and think of you...

    The True Church

    Thank you so much for spending the time to cover this so eloquently.

    The True Church

    So the title of "Pope" was first applied to the Patriarch of Alexandria, and not to the Archbishop of Rome. What exactly does this prove? Plenty of people before Pope St. Leo were saying that the Bishop of Rome has Apostolic Succession from St. Peter, and is therefore his heir. No one ever...

    The True Church

    Do you know what the Greek word commonly translated as "elder" is? It will go a long way in helping you understand whether or not the early Church had a hierarchy (a viewpoint which is the overwhelming scholarly consensus, by the way). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_Christianity#Organization

    The True Church

    There is no rub. There was no heirarchy in the early church, at least not in the way we see in Roman catolicism. The heirarchial system came about in the early 300's. It was patterned after the Roman Empire and adopted later by the Roman catholics. Yes, there are elders in each congregation of...

    Mary mother of God

    .......................... kepha 31 said on post #502 Matt. 16:18; 18:18 - Jesus uses the word "ecclesia" only twice in the New Testament Scriptures, which demonstrates that Jesus intended a visible, unified, hierarchical, and authoritative Church. .......................... KJV replied to post...

    Mary mother of God

    The family is a domestic church, as explained by the last 3 popes, so you are not telling me anything new. Your definition excludes a one, infallible, supernatural, hierarchical and visible CHURCH. Matt. 16:18; 18:18 - Jesus uses the word "ecclesia" only twice in the New Testament Scriptures...

    Mary mother of God

    That is a dogmatic statement that cannot be found in the Bible. We know that human cloning is immoral, so is it a "doctrine of men" too? Again, there are no "doctrines of men" in the Catholic Church, that's just a handy catch phrase in anti-Catholic circles. You keep repeating "doctrines of...

    Mary mother of God

    Not true! Scripture is not the catholic church's PRIMARY SOURCE. Catholic tradition has always been elevated above the Scriptures. The catholic religion contradicts the Scriptures repeatedly and it adds to the word of God. 1 & 3 are truth. 2 is not! The verses you cited do not show that...

    Mary mother of God

    Scripture is the PRIMARY source for Catholic doctrine, contrary to what you have been told, or have assumed. The Catholic Church teaches that Jesus saves us, (which makes your charge so foolish) that's why Jesus commissioned the Apostles: TO TEACH. To facilitate this command, succession is...

    Who really is the faithful and discreet slave?

    Yes, the "faithful and discreet slave " that Jesus spoke at Matthew 24:45-51 (and Luke 12:41-48), is prophetic of a group of individuals assigned by Jesus to provide "their measure of food supplies at the proper time" for his "body of attendants ". It need be grasped that Jesus gave this...

    What is a soul/spirit?

    I definitely believe God knew sin would eventually happen -just as parents are certain their children will not be perfectly obedient. Given the ignorance/newness of created beings, coupled with creativity, it was at least extremely probable. Though Adam and Eve had a choice, I do believe God...

    Titus Discussion

    For any Latter-day Saints participating within this thread, in Titus 1:7-9, what strikes you about these particular verses? For non-LDS, what do you make of them and how do they apply to today (if you see them applying)? For everyone, in your mind who does this apply to? Titus 1:7-9 "7 For a...

    Discussion on Book of Scripture, anyone interested?

    Thanks again Paul! I was ministered by your biblical exposition of the Word of God! God the Holy Spirit truly illuminates the Word of God to those who are His. I believe the Word of God is also concealed intentionally to those who are perishing.

    Discussion on Book of Scripture, anyone interested?

    Titus 1:7 For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre; Again Paul emphasises that the Bishop must be blameless in other words he must be such a one who will not give the enemies of the gospel...

    Cardinal Law

    Or maybe given the opportuntiy to right his wrong. I would be much more emphatic with the Catholic church if they made a stronger attempt to undo the damage they created. I would love it if some of the non-sex offenders like Law, for instance, would be given projects to help the community on...

    Cardinal Law

    Forgiveness is good...but higher standards are required of those in leadership. Since Cardinal Law cannot meet those standards, he should step down...or at the very least remove himself from public roles of leadership. Titus 1:7 1 Timothy 3:2

    Commentary on Micah 2:3-7

    Micah 2:3-7 Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks, neither shall ye walk haughtily; for it is an evil time. 4 In that day shall they take up a parable against you, and lament with doleful lamentation, and say...
