A) Yes, a church should not need shell companies. and, B) This could have major impact on farmland in Nebraska since the Mormon Church is such a large land owner here. Which, i've always had a problem with. Link to comment
knapplc Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I caught this headline and at first thought this was the total for America. It's just for Illinois. And it doesn't even cover all the instances of abuse, because one diocese flat refuses to cooperate. 1 Link to comment

The "narrow road" to moral purity that is touted to be the only path which leads to a reduction in gun violence and everything else that ails our society seems to be a bit ineffective. 1 Link to comment
Lorewarn Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 I wonder how many dozens of posts @DefenderAO will devote to this moral decline in America. (He'll actually probably just say that Catholics have lost the way, unlike the 'real' Evangelical Christians) Link to comment

(He'll actually probably just say that Catholics have lost the way, unlike the 'real' Evangelical Christians) Being a thread on Christianity and the immutability of the Bible. 2 Timothy 3:1-7 3 But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. 2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, 4 treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. 6 For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions, 7 always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth. Thankfully there is always a redemption awaiting. Rest for the weary. Stone to flesh. Death to life. 1 3 Link to comment
DefenderAO Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Becoming less about Left vs Right, Blue vs Red, and it's good vs evil. Romans 12:9; Ephesians 6:12 All who call upon the name of the Lord will be saved. Romans 10:13. 1 2 Link to comment
Scarlet Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 I mean if the "narrow road" leads to one having the mental acumen to believe anything the Epoch Times disseminates then I'll pass. 1 1 3 Link to comment
DefenderAO Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Jesus is indeed... epic. Matthew 11:28-30 28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” John 14:6 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 1 1 Link to comment
