??, the watch tower is the Johova Witnesses, they are a cult, i am a protestant, have an assoc. degree in theology, so can you elaborate about strict?? we just believe what the bible says, as the inerant word of God. So what people dont like about what it says, then they need to talk to God about it, The NT is written on Greek, so one word has one meaning, not like english, the word Love can be one of 5, one is Phillio (word we get Philadelphia, city of brotherly love) which means brotherly type of love, so any word love in the text, you ned to find out which it is, so when you mean strict, i look at is as proper translation. is this what you are looking for??, by the way , welcome to PF.

Yes sir,
it depends on what you mean, i know that sounds silly, but Jesus taught about legalism, do you remember when the pharisis asked why he was gleening corn on the sabath, and he told them when you are hungry do you not eat (paraphrasing), he was saying there is a higher law, and that is of life, the law of life. Jesus came to fullfil what the law could not fullfil which is righteousness, so we are not subject to the law, because it can not make a man righteous, only believing in the son makes a man righteous, and this is not of man, but because of Christ, man can not be righteous on his own, and that is what the law showed. :)

Actually the church is a bog part of the bible, Jesus said to Paul, that this rock will I build my church. Not as a organization I agree, man has made it an organization.



you will always have people who can not get along, and devisive, I agree, you know it only takes 2 people to mess something up, have you had a bad experience with a church, becasue I am a memeber of a church that is fantastic and very much into outreach in the community, this is in the mid west (illinois), very much different from the east coast.


And I can totally understand this, i have felt the same at times!!


I gotot a Baptist Church, but i consider myself to be just a christian, not wanting to be affiliated with a brand name. I would rather be outside of mans rules and just follow the word of God.

Yo Light man , I know that in a town where my friends is from Catholicism is hugh, and if you recall when Pope John Paul II came to Poland when the Ruskies were still in town it turned the country upside down and i believe that he is as well as Ronald Reagan, i believe that faith is a hugh part of thier lives, though as in all societies there is always the next generation that sometimes pulls away from what momma amd poppa was taught, but in this situation i believe that it is very strong, friends of ours from Vienna who are Polish citizens are very very strong in their faith.

News / Do Poles in Poland really feel betrayed because there won't be any US Shield? [288]

Questions to ask.....Why did Obama end the missle defense shield on the day of the anniversary of the invasion??? SImple, he first does not know how to govern, 2nd, he does not like America, and 3rd he gave into Russian demands.

THere are 2 sure things here...Russia (SOVIET UNION) is still alive and well, and the US has been weakened by a man who wants to be President of the WORLD> He sold out America in the UN meetings last week, and continues to sell us out. He is a DISRGRACE> I knew he would scrap the missle defense plan, b/c it is an "IN YOUR FACE TO BUSH" and there is that hope and change again. How is that hope and change working out for America???? I may want to come to Poland and live.
