yes- everyone has faults and makes mistakes; an organization even more so.. yet, you ignore all the fingers pointing at you.. many here have no faith.
many here go to churches who lie about everything biblical; look at x-mas!.
but at least we know god and christ and try to live up to their name!.
Finkle: Jesus commanded all his followers to preach. (Matt 28)
Eden- He COULD have used them; they gave Mary and Joseph valuable gifts in token to the boyt who would be the Messiah. BUT, he didn't send the star.
The criteria to determine whether a book is true or not is simple; does it make ANY sense? Is there any nonsense in it? Is it in harmony with the messages of the books KNOWN to be inspired? etc

I think you're wrong.
They have never made up there own prophecies- just screw up what God's mean.
AND I think they really feel they HAVE been "chosen" as a FDS CLASS.

The REAL Good News (contrasted with Churchianity's) is about the Kingdom. Christ as King- and trhe changes he will bring. Hew foretold his followers would be preaching it to the world in the last days.
We DO- but sprinkle it with (sigh) "Jesus has been ruling for 100 years"!
It's tragilarious!

Where did you get that "fact"? I disagree. Why would an organization "even MORE so" have faults and make mistakes? I would think an organization would have fewer faults and make fewer mistakes because organizations have checks and balances to prevent such, whereas individuals don't.
>> Let's say in some 'ortganization' I have 20 faults, you have 5, and another 10, etc.
The org would have a sum total of ALL the faults.
sad but true; i've yet to be at a meeting where the org/ 'fds' isn't praised....

Eden: "You can start by answering this: Who decided what books would be considered "canonical", when, and why? What were the criteria used? This should get you started."
My OPINION is that God USED the RCC to help preserve the scriptures- even tho they also helped preserve some counterfeit books. In the meantime, copies were being made in other lands, too.

First there were the ASSemblies, that became GB 'Talk' Read-fests.
Then the parroting "Benefit, benefitting, benefit, you do well to ask yourself, benefit...."
Then inviting unbelievers to the Memorial- the OPPOSITE of what Christ did.
Then door to door invitations to those dumb assemblies.
Then turning the #2 talk into a Bible reading where you can't say a PEEP to explain any of it.
Now the near-constant praise of the Self-Proclaimed "Faithful and Discreet Slave Class"!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
