In the first place, not being Catholic, I doubt the ability of the Pope to speak for the Lord.  I respect the Pope, but I do not consider him to be the ultimate representative [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Unfortunately, there are some religions that teach their members that the only way the Bible can be understood is through the aid of the priest or preacher. They say that the average person cannot possibly understand what the Bible actually says, so it is pointless for the members to read the Bible. They must come [...]]]></description>

If you mow the yard and trim the shrubs, the wages are a nice-looking yard and a happy spouse. Sometimes the wages are just self-satisfaction.

		<description><![CDATA[The theory of &#8220;once saved, always saved&#8221; is popular with many. When a member of those bodies falls away, the usual remark is that &#8220;they weren&#8217;t really saved to begin with.&#8221; But what does the Bible say about this? Can a person be in a saved relationship with God and then become lost? Wouldn&#8217;t you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are two things that I really need to clarify before we begin our discussion.  Both of these are essential to our understanding of the subject of baptism.
