Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself. But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. - 1 Timothy 6:5-7

Answer well stated.

And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river...

I hate to sound so passionate about all of this.... But I am around it all the time at work. My nephews and nieces use to raid my grandmothers chewing gum drawer and basically chew it all up. They would chew it until all the flavor was gone, spit it out, and then go into her drawer and get...

Anastacia... That is one Sardisean gal we got here! Oh Brother!

Shall we call it abominational disputes? Again, if we have people of other Christian persuasions here we should treat them with dignity and honor. While we are still in the church ages God chooses the gentleman's approach and so should we. As far as the protestant arguments I have got to say...

There is a difference! When I go to Gatlinburg TN I often marvel at all the Christian conferences going on. Everything is decent and in order. The young people are dressed looking nice and the events are well organized. Nobody does this like the Sardisian church. Thyatira - Would there have...
