Discuss The Truth

Due to the fact that I am currently entertaining guests for a few weeks, I'm afraid it will continue taking me longer than usual to catch up with replies to all your comments LRW. For the moment my intention is to pick up where I left off a few days ago on this issue of scripturally identifying the ...

The first thing we need to do in order to even BEGIN to understand what is being conveyed in Romans 6:1-7 is to factor in its setting. This is a setting that simply DOES NOT APPLY to us in the time period we find ourselves in even also at this very moment. In stark contrast with the situation WE cur...

The way I see it is that true leaders lead by example. If world leaders would insist that we need to start eating bugs, then they should start doing that very thing themselves. If they would insist that the worlds population should be reduced to 500,000,000 or so, (as they openly state on the "...

Experiences like the one you shared here (vintage) seem to be increasingly common with the organization, even though I have not had any direct contact with it for around 8 years now. Every time I hear of them I'm reminded of scriptures like Jeremiah 8:11 that speaks of this ..."breakdown of the...
