If the baby is adopted by a human family, the baby grows up to be normal, except it howls everytime a full moon is present. The age it does this is usually after the age of 9.

The news here in Australia is very limited to local events. Except for SBS. But there is a program just after the news, which deals with news worthy items from all over the world.

They went over to Utah, to check on this cult, who apparently have their premises located on over two State lines.

The leader has just being arrested and taken into custody. He has 70 wives, and marries young girls off to whomever he chooses. One managed to escape, and they interviewed her.

The reporter and camera crew were threatened, they had cars with tinted windows following them. they did, however, interview one of the old men, and asked him why he thought it was acceptable to have as many wives as he could. His arrogant response, was; he saw nothing wrong with it. If members manage to get out the cult comes after them, using all sorts of abuse and threats to make them come back. I can't find any more news on this .Anyone help?

Q: You didn't create us to love us because you wanted us to choose to love you, therefore making the love genuine and real. However, you also pass storms and trials in our lives so that we can learn to turn to you and grow in Christ and ultimatley love you. But isn't that basically tricking us into loving you? Explain this please....

The answer i'm guessing it would be: it's not tricking us into loving him- it's God simply trying to push him towards what's best for us- Himself. However....it's still trickery in ways.

Have you ever had such a burden to pray for someone that as you prayed with understanding the Holy Spirit totally took control and prayed through you. I am not talking about tongues here (which by the way I am cool with). I am talking about a groaning that comes from what seems to be the very heart of God.

Have a look at Yahoo questions for example.

Even the unbelievers have plenty to say about Him. I find that fascinating since why bother talking about something or someone that in their opinion don't exist.

Clearly by creating the Church with a particular structure and particular practices under the leadership of particular individuals with specific authority and responsibility it is Christ and Christ alone that has created this mindset in the Catholic faithful. There is no where else that they can appeal to the truth or receive what is necessary to assure eternal life. No church that has thrown Christ out of their worship both in corporeal presence and in focus of their worship can lay claim to anything but a marginal and accidental semblance of the truth that is held and protected in the Apostolic Churches for Christ gave His authority to no others. The gates of hell have not prevailed against His Church as the critics would proclaim but instead He is calling those home who are His and allowing all others to cry "Lord, Lord" as Christ acknowledges that He never knew them. Could it be that God allowed the tares to grow among the wheat for 1500 years and since has been preparing the harvest by separating them away to be burned bound in their bundles of denominationalism and independence? Sounds like the fruition of a parable to me.

If you expose yourself to certain things, it WILL change. Your opinions do change and your values do change. Now, for christians, we are to keep ourselves from "corruption".. But how many of you take this literally and avoid, rather than expose and reason out of partaking in it?

The practical dilemma for especially young christians --who haven't fully developed the rationales for moral behavior--may not be able to have good control over psychologically adjusting and readjusting and MONITORING the effects of outside influence on the mind.

A few hours ago I was at the check-out counter of "Atwoods".

The clerk reached over and unscrewed my nuts and weighed them on a bathroom scale.

Why was I there?

I needed to attach a construction plate to a cement wall I am building. I went to Atwoods (farm and garden store) and bought some "all thread bolt stock".

The question is: By logic and reasoning, do you believe my story?

The Asians ancestors of who later became known as "American Indians" came to the Americas during the last Ice Age 20,000 years ago. They then proceded to commit genocide against the Whites who were already living here, and eventually killed all of them. Real nice guys, huh?

Catholisism and Mormonism are examples, but there are many others.

Bearing in mind that Christ was born a Jew...

I am not looking for arguements against any idiology - only for specific groups. While I will likely not agree that a specific body is the 'way the truth and the life' that Christ has in mind, I am very interested in why we come to these conclusions.'

Birth? Theology?
I have heard that God "spoke" to the mormons and said "this is the one" (paraphrase), and Catholics lean on Peter as a result of Christs saying that he is the 'rock'...

What else is basic to these or other beliefs that preclude 'non members' admittance into eternal life?

BTW - if you think God is a cosmic muffin, please, for 'mutual respects' sake move onto the next question.

This is nothing new, heresy has been with the Church from the beginning of the Church. It was not created by the Reformers, they just perfected it. Christ warned us as did the other authors of the Scriptures. He said that we would know them by their fruits and indeed that is true. The fruit of the Reformation is tens of thousands of schisms increasing exponentially dividing the Church that Christ and the Apostles desired to be one. This is the message in all of the pastoral epistles in Scripture. Should a Catholic leave the security of the truth to venture into the Protestant realm of increasingly elusive truth, dividing the Word thousands of different ways by thousands of charismatic leaders and their prideful version of the truth. This error additionally enhanced by the lack of acknowledgement of the entire Word of God but only that which is written based on a man made doctrine of sola scriptura. While many Protestants are sincere, but are sincerely wrong by clinging and placing their hope on their personal version of what God gave us in His Word and even at that relying on an abbreviated version without the fullness of inspired Scripture or the assurance of the Apostolic witness. Those that follow the true Church established by Christ and protected by the Apostles and their successors are the only ones who can proclaim the truth and the greatest chance of receiving the promise of the Gospel.
