    "MATTHEW 16:18" "I shall take these verses in the order in which they occur in the books of the New Testament. The first one to be considered is Matthew 16:18. In this verse Jesus said: "And I say unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this Rock I Will Build My church; and the gates of...

    I Will Build My Church

    Br. Pritchard is very ably handling any and all objections here on his own tread.

    Independent Bible churches — your opinion?

    The Logical Implications Applying the principles of cause and effect, it is clear that scientific logic indicates that the Cause for the universe in which we live must trace back to an infinite First Cause of all things. Random motion or primeval particles cannot produce intelligent thought...

    Death FOR Sin

    To me, what you have described in the entire post is Biblical Christianity. Every paragraph deserves a heart felt and very loud, "AMEN, HALLELUJAH!!, JESUS SAVES!!!"
