Re: Was it worth Dividing the Church??

I understand how it did, but o wonder if ot should jave ever happened- Are you referring to the Catholics and Orthodox parting ways with each other? If yes, are you suggesting they should have stayed together? Just curious if you believe it is possible for churches to have their candlesticks remove...

Re: Was it worth Dividing the Church??

Most “division” in the last 150 years has been due to liberals taking over solid groups with sound doctrine and pushing in the same direction that all liberals push: agitating for more central control, tolerating sexual sin, slavishly serving the desires of the wealthy, and condemning those who dar...

Re: Slain in the spirit?
