Judicial Committees - "Works Beffitting Repentance"
by xelder ina couple years ago the cos and dos were pushing a letter at elders meetings about being more critical of so-called repentant wrongdoers and being tougher on such claims.
do their recent works prove it.
don't just believe tears.

by mostlydead inher father is going to her convention, but i'm not.
i know this hurts her and it makes me feel sick on so many different counts.

idolatry
by paul from cleveland inis the attention directed toward the accomplishments of the organization really a form of idolatry, as some contend, or is it simply following jesus' admonition to "let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your father in heaven"?.

How To Win A Debate Without Really Thinking
by AllTimeJeff inthis isn't as bad as it seems.... (in other words, i am not trying to piss anyone off....).
i am reminded when i see john boehner, or pelosi, who spend over half their time defining the opposition, of the fact that many debates here and in our personal lives (work, family, etc) are fought with the same tactic.. define the other side.. never mind that your way is better.
it seems to me that we aren't drawn into a discussion/debate because of a positive thought or direction.

Colossians CH 1 & 2
by PSacramento inwritten in probably between 50-80 ad by the apostle paul or perhaps more correctly dictated by paul and quite possibly, expanded on by his followers, colossians gives us many interesting verses:.
1:13-23. states that jesus is the first born over all creation, all things in heaven, earth and under the earth were created through him, by him and for him.. that the fullness of god dwelt in jesus and that jesus reconciled all unto him by his death on the cross.. and that god has reconciled us in christ, holy, blemish free, free of accusation, as long as we continue in our faith.. in the second chapter the writer states that in jesus all the fullness of the deity ( god) lives in bodily form and that we have been given fullness in christ who is ( present tense) head and authority over all.. now we come to a very interesting part in colossians:.
2: 16-23. where the writer now states that no one should judge by what one eats or drinks, or in regards to religious festivals, new moons, sabbaths, that no one desqualifies us from the prize because they worship angels and have false humility.
