The False doctrine of Roman Catholic papal infallibility ... The Oral traditions of the Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches contradict each other so bad, they condemn each other and are not "in communion" with each other. The key is to realize that both of these denominations base their teachings on the oral tradition of the apostles, yet the cannot agree! We are confused over the contradictory doctrine of the Catholics and Orthodox church! Whose oral tradition on the liturgy of the Eucharist and the date of Easter is correct? With all this division, it is obvious that scripture is the only sure method of determining truth. but in case I am delayed, I write so that you will know how one ought to conduct himself in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and support of the truth. 1 Timothy 3:15 The church that supports and upholds the truth, is distinguished from the truth she upholds. That truth is the gospel message contained in scripture. If the "church" is the source of truth, as both Roman Catholic and ... ... https://www.bible.ca/catholic-infallibility.htm

The Interactive Bible: ... But, contrary to the teachings of man, we must go on beyond this simple belief or acknowledgment. We must be obedient to the commandments of Christ, for Jesus said, "If' you love me, keep my commandments". Obviously we must believe fervently that Jesus is God's Son, our Savior, The Christ. We must be obedient to both the commands of Jesus and those of the apostles. The apostles were told what to write in the Holy Scriptures which are the New Testament, for Jesus promised, "But the comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to you remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you". There are several things a believer must do before he becomes a member of the Lord's church.

Matthew was NOT originally written in Hebrew: JW's are false ... ... Aside from this error, the question here is whether Irenaeus has in mind the same writing as Papias, only calling the logia a Gospel, or whether he has in mind a different writing, an actual Gospel written in Hebrew by Matthew. Few would be willing to believe that Matthew wrote two different books in Hebrew. Pantaenus (about 180 A. D.) claims to have seen a Hebrew Gospel by Matthew in southern Arabia, which was brought there by Bartholomew. This report, however, has never had much influence. Next is the statement of Origen (born about 185 A. D.) which he makes on the basis of a tradition, that Matthew was the first to write and that he composed and issued a Gospel in Hebrew for the Jewish believers. Eusebius himself, who collected these opinions for his church history, expresses himself to the same effect.

Why Be A Christian? Following these statements he says: "Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf". The name "Christian" is divided into two parts - Christ and "ian". It means belonging to Christ.

"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved." Christians are members of the "Body of Christ" Ephesians 5: 30.

Gospel Meetings: The Edification vs. The Evangelistic types ... Subjects like Why do you believe the doctrines you believe? are also excellent. The idea here is not to deal with any specific false doctrines but to show that false doctrine is prevalent and encourage them to examine their own beliefs. Denominations bashing doesn't go over well with first-time visitors and should be reserved for one-on-one Bible studies. An evangelistic meeting is strictly a local church effort. The local community is invited but neighboring churches are not. To get non-Christians to come, you use a letter-writing campaign as outlined below. The letter writing campaign of personal inviting is quite effective in getting visitors to attend. The members make up lists of anyone they know and then write a letter inviting them to the meeting. I am aware of three churches that have used this method, and the results were the same all records were broken! And remember, we're talking first-time visitors!! Another necessary departure from tradition is that the evangelistic ... ... https://www.bible.ca/evangelism/e-gospel-meet-2-types.htm

Scientology's Relationship With Eastern Religious Traditions ... Late in the summer of 1954, Hubbard mailed an advertisement newsletter called The Golden Dawn (most likely named after England's famous occult group of which Aleister Crowley had been a member) to about 5000 Phoenix, Arizona, homes, and initiated a door-to-door recruitment drive in the city (Aberree, 1954c). By November Hubbard abandoned the mailing effort (Churchill, 1954b: 9), having attracted only a few interested people (Churchill, 1954a). His religious claims lay largely dormant until six years later, by which time he was living at his estate in East Grinstead, Sussex, England. In a short bulletin, Hubbard wrote that Scientology was both a "Religious philosophy" and "a Religious practice" that "conducts basic services such as Sermons at Church meetings, Christenings, Weddings and Funerals". As he had suggested years before, Hubbard insisted that "Scientology's closest spiritual ties with any other religion are with Orthodox (Hinayana) Buddhism, with which it shares an historical ... ... https://www.bible.ca/scientology-eastern-religions-Kent.htm

Other pagan cultures contributed to the syncretist result. From Egypt came the ideas of a divine trinity, the Last Judgment, and a personal immortality of reward and punishment; from Egypt the adoration of the Mother and Child, and the mystic theosophy that made Neoplatonism and Gnosticism, and obscured the Christian creed; there, too, Christian monasticism would find its exemplars and its source.
