What do we do with this passage? Of course it was written before Revelation but it seems the very application of this passage makes us aware that individuals are not to interpret prophecy? 2 Peter 1: 19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a ligh...

I became a Christian during the Jesus Movement. What drew me in, was observing so many young Christians and their walk, their faith, their fellowship, their joy, their love & unity. Zeal. At the time, I "believed" but had not surrendered- I knew I was empty & void, needing Christ a...

Something I’ve seen missed is just simply inviting people to church services. Most people (where I live anyway) are so detached from what the Mennonite church is that they don’t even think they are welcome at any church services. My Mennonite raised brothers talk about the Spirit leading people but...

I am leaving that definition to the individual and his fellowship. Max, what has worked best for the RCC? As a fellowship at large the RCC tries to meet the needs of the community, e.g. Catholic ministries to the forgotten, the poor and the marginalised. Some who have come to Mass describe the sens...

I wrestled with answering the poll questions because to me they were too simplistic to define accurately. Pastor Begg has dealt with widespread attack for his counsel to that particular grandmother in that particular situation. His counsel shocked those who know him well. His closest friends, in fac...

The fringier the view, the more scrutiny it deserves. At least for me, this issue isn't a major one, and it's more a matter of probability than cer...

We watched a really good interview with Donald Trump the other day. It was an hour long- the food thing about an interview vs a rally or speech is the interviewer can ask tough questions. They cannot (as often happens) take a line out of context and twist it. I was really impressed with his answers....

I think Max seems to recognize the way Sudsy speaks to him it seems there's a difference, at least I can see it. If people want to join in, having an intention to expound in a peaceable way is a blessing to witness. is there a possbility oj and ken_s and others might have something of value to cons...

Jesus didn't go anywhere private to call out the Pharisees for their error. And I would highly advise you to stop calling people "angry" just because they call you out for inconsistencies or because they point out the wrongdoing of the RCC. Ken S, Jesus' dealings with the religious leader...
