finding a church

smtrego @smtrego (181) • United States 13 Apr 13

Do you prefer a non-denominational church or one that is associated with a specific denomination? Why?

2 responses

2timothy Both non-denominational and denominational churches "denominate" or "named" themselves and thus divides the one church of God who is anti-denomination.

Why I stopped going to church

ebony @ebony_77 (42) • United States 26 May 13

Of all the years I have been going to church, recently I began to see how brainwashed people are in the church. For so many years, churches have been following man made traditions, rather than the ways of God. For instance,...

2timothy Although the church throughout the centuries has been dividing and degrading to a disappointing degree, God's heart is still forever for the church whom He paid dearly with His life to redeem. If we love God, we would surely also love what He loves, His...

Shouldn't "MatchMaker" Be One of the Jobs of a Church Elder?

Uncle Jay, Finding More Value in Your Machine @mythociate (21432) • Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 9 Nov 13

Not necessarily 'betrothal-creator' (like in -Fiddler on the Roof- where the matchmaker picks out a girl for the guy and declares "It's a match!"), but more like 'seeing that two kids fit each-other well, adviser to each of...

2timothy Confiding to an elder or elderly person whom you trust for guidance is helpful. Praying to God is first and foremost.

2timothy Life and death are both mysteries that we humans have yet to understand and define. Scholars in medicine, psychology, and philosophy have yet to agree what life means and what death means.

2timothy If it does not belong to us, it's not righteous to keep even a cent. When the rightful owner cannot be found, give it to the poor or offer it to God who is more than able to return the same value to its rightful owner and reward the honest returner.

taking toilet paper from public restrooms, ok?

macdingolinger @macdingolinger (10386) • United States 17 Jan 10

What do you think? IF you need toilet paper would you take a roll from a public restroom? Is it a question of integrity and honesty? Or an issue of need? Would you take a roll?

4 responses

2timothy Not me, I would rather use water. It's more hygenic and environment-friendly. My conscience would also protest if I do. But if I really do, I'll replace a new roll as soon as I am able to.

2timothy Trials come from the believers' environment to prove their faith (James 1:2-3) through suffering (vv. 9-11). The believers should endure the trials with all joy (v. 2) because of their love for the Lord, that they may receive the crown of life (v. 12)....
