359: Is the RC church infallible and unable to make errors?
God's written Word, therefore, is man's sole unerring guide from earth to heaven. It is the standard by which all men will be judged in the last day (John 12:48; Rom. 2:16; James 2:12; Rev. 20:12). Catholics affirm that God, instead of making His written Word the sole infallible guide, made the Catholic Church an infallible authority. Thus, in this work we will examine the truthfulness of their claim. All scriptural quotations in this essay are from authorized Catholic translations (from the Confraternity Version ... This is clearly disclosed by the words of Christ: 'Behold I am with you all days even to the consummation of the world.' Since the Apostles were not to live until the end of the world, Christ promised to be with them in the person of their successors unto the end of time." (The Faith of Millions, p. 137).

362: Evangelistic, Small-group Home Bible Studies
First, they are evangelistic studies for non-Christians. Everything that is done in the study is for the benefit of the non-Christian visitors. These studies are hosted each week in homes that have good public access. You will need four to nine members who have made a commitment to attend every week. The primary function of these members is to work hard at bringing visitors to the class. If no visitors show up, the class is canceled for that evening; and the time is spent in talking about each member's contacts and praying.

If we invited non-Christians to attend a small-group home study versus church services, a much higher ratio of people would attend a home study.

366: Conclusion to the 500 year historical overview:
... Poor laws were created by Henry's successors that outlawed begging, but provided food and shelter in workhouses - a medieval "work for welfare" program! At first these laws ordered local churches to tax their perisioners to support the work houses via the "poor box", but having just been decimated by King Henry, this was impossible for the churches. The poor law of 1601 AD took a national approach of directly taxing rich landowners to support the poor in workhouses. State welfare was born for the first time. The insane lived undifferentiated from other poor, unemployed beggars in the work houses. From work houses to Mad houses. Because church ministers were historically viewed as the exclusive experts in insanity, the families of the rich, propertied upper classes began in about 1650-75 AD, to make direct payments to these church ministers to "board out" their insane relatives in the very first mad houses ... a luxury poor families could not afford.

372: Ellen G. White found guilty of plagiarism (copying)
There are at least three lists circulating in Adventism that purport to be accurate concerning the books that were available for Mrs. White's use. The comparisons used here and throughout this book are only a fraction of the use of some of those books. While it is possible that some of the books on those lists were not used by Ellen White, it also can be shown that she used material not mentioned on any list available so far. The comparisons show several things: a. She was not original and was a creature of her time, using others' material to explain herself in every area and every book that bears her name. b. The early copying was very crude and unpolished and often word for word, while the later copying was often very sophisticated, showing that more able help was obtained in later years, and even after her death, to do the work of selecting. c.

Although it was neither written by Bishop Strossmayer, or spoken by him in the Vatican Council of 1870 AD, Bishop Strossmayer did in fact oppose proclaiming the Pope infallible and defended Protestantism.

374: Differences between three different types or Mormons
So, also, when Jesus said, "I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it", we see the timeless, unchanging character of that church. From the earliest days of the restoration of the "fullness of the gospel" (1 Nephi 10:14, Utah Book of Mormon), we have told the world that this included a restoration of divine priesthood authority, and by which the true Church of Christ would be restored as in the time of Christ and the ancient apostles. This was, in fact, the intent of God as revealed in the Book of Commandments 4:5, in March 1829: "And thus if the people of this generation harden not their hearts, I will work a reformation among them, and I will put down all lyings, and deceivings, and priestcrafts...and I will establish my church, like unto the church which was taught by my disciples in the days of old."

377: Correspondence Course Follow-Up
It is my hope that, through this article, I may revive interest in correspondence courses once again. I am asking you to give this method a second chance because it really works! In 1986 I had about 150 enrollments and set up 27 Bible studies. That is one study for every six enrollments. In the past 15 years, the church in Lethbridge, Alberta has used correspondence courses several times, enrolling hundreds each time, but with relatively poor results. I say this so that you will not think that the successes I am reporting are the result of a ... What you hold is a prime opportunity! Perhaps only 1 in 500 people are interested in Bible study, and here one of them falls into your lap the easy way. Consider the hard way: How many doors, how many phone calls, how many hours of work would it take you to find that 1 in 500 who is interested in studying? But you have 50 or 100 of these enrollments and you do not realize the incredible value of that which comes so easy. So, you only follow-up ... ...

"A woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness. But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet."

He rejects water baptism for the remission of sins. He also teaches the false doctrine of Calvinism. But teaching these false doctrines is common today and would not be sufficient to label the DCC a cult. All preachers engage in a bit of theatre from time to time to communicate the point of their sermons, but Peter Rigo is clearly at the extreme end of the bell curve. What struck us with offence and repulsion, is the foul language Peter Rigo uses from the pulpit. Peter Rigo ... ...

379: Modern Rabbinical Judaism
Originally the Law of Moses was given to one race of people who would all live on one small tract of land called Canaan, but as the people dispersed farther and farther from Judea, it became impossible to make constant trips to the temple. It was no longer possible for the temple to serve everybody's needs in the way described in Exodus and Deuteronomy. Something had to change, and it did. By the time the church was born and Christians began to point out how unsuitable the O.T. laws were to a ... Sure, you really should lead a pious, God fearing life, but thanks to zekhut, you really don't have to! It saves Israel, it saves the world. The fact that it gives a pimp the power of a prophet says it all. RITUAL IMMERSION One of the most basic principles of Bible obedience is that God's work must be done in God's way. Many practices that may seem like good works to men may in reality be our very undoing. It was probably during the Babylonian captivity that a novel idea arose. If the laws ... ...

382: Gospel Meetings: The Edification vs. The Evangelistic types
Gospel meetings today will never bring the responses of the good old days because of the following reasons: Religion is no longer the focus of society that it once was. Today, it is socially acceptable to be an atheist. People have much less free time in the 1990s and spending an evening at church is low on the list of priorities. Gospel meetings were a form of community entertainment in the 1890s. Today we are entertained by television. The quality of local preaching has dramatically improved to the point that there ... Attendance by Christians Attendance by non-Christians The Edification Meeting The best example of this kind of meeting is what we call a lectureship. Subjects are meaty and designed to address the needs of mature Christians. The book of Romans or The Work of the Holy Spirit are typical choices.

384: 5 Components of a Growing Church
If we are indifferent to merely teaching the gospel, how will we ever accomplish the more difficult task of training new converts to teach the gospel? The job before us is not merely to reproduce but to produce producers! What we have produced is a generation of mules in the church- stubborn when it comes to getting personally involved in the Lord's work, and like the mule, unable to reproduce! Christianity is a taught religion. Paul's instruction to Timothy was, "The things you have learned from me entrust to faithful men who will ... But if he spends that same 40 hours training, supporting, and advising his team of 10 salesmen, who will be able to sell 10 cars each, his total sales volume will then be 100 instead of 20.

387: How to Teach Your Child To Work without complaining!!!
We all recognize the desirability of training our children in the work habit, but the question is, "How can I?" First by example. The parent's attitude toward work will in a large part be the attitude of the child. Do I find every excuse for shirking my responsibility, whether it is working at home, or even a day's work at the church building? Let us first strive to do what our hands find to do with a song in our hearts, and the children will follow the example set for them. But it is not always possible to find happiness in our work, as children or as adults. Some things just have to be done. The habit of seeing a job through to its completion is extremely valuable to a child. This is a real challenge to parents. Can I be patient and firm in seeing that he finishes a job, when it is so much easier to do it myself, and it takes half the time? We must, of course, plan tasks suitable to the child's level of maturity. Praise should be given only for a job completed and done well. You ... ...

388: Moral failures of Modern Pentecostal preachers

We recognize that there are a few of these kinds of preachers in every church, our concern is that almost ALL the most famous Pentecostal preachers have disgraced God in their moral lives. These LEADERS claim a high degree of sanctification. Each claims to either have met with Jesus personally, seen Him in an open vision, been visited by angels, etc. . .Yet with only a cursory look into their personally lives and lifestyles one quickly sees how fraudulent their claims are. Some might want to say "these people do not represent the movement" or that I have "stacked the deck." The sad TRUTH of the matter is that these people are KEY PEOPLE in the movement. These are the acknowledged LEADERS. If what they promote does not work in their own lives why should anyone else believe them? Moral failures of Pentecostal preachers Individual ... ...

400: 4 Key Words To A Happy Home!
He that loveth his own wife loveth himself: for no man ever hated his own flesh, but nourisheth it and cherished it, even as Christ also the church . . . For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh". This kind of love would lead a man to sacrifice his own pleasures, even his life, to assure the happiness and welfare of his wife. And who can doubt that the same unselfish love which a man should have for his wife, the wife should also have for her husband, and the parents should have for their children. Unfortunately, however, love can wither and die. To keep it alive and warm requires close association, attention and care. When parents both work and have little time for their children, they become in a measure strangers to them. By nature, children love their parents and long for their parent's love in return. Two teenagers, whose parents after work and the evening meal usually sat glued to the television till ... ...
