I went to church with my girlfriend and her family. It was an interesting experience. What shocked me the most is that when i asked for a bible, because i wanted to read the bible because i havn't for a very long time now. They told me they didn't have any... i was absolutely shocked. A church without bibles for its members... Well im not a member, but i was certainly attending for the christmas ceremony [because it ment alot to my gf's family.]

So i bring this up, because i was wondering, doesn't anyone else find this a bit shocking? I mean.. i knew people didn't know the Truth, but now i'm starting to see why. The church's wont even keep bibles in the pews during mass or anything. Just hymnal books, no wonder its so easy to be indoctrinated.

Infact my girlfriends brother stated with frustration after i expressed my shock that; "They just read the story to us." He said "i don't know how they do it at your church but thats how they do it here." I told Him i didn't go to "church" and asked "wouldn't you like to read it for yourself?" To which he replied much the same as his first.

Boy! To me this his like a school without books! A science class without the instruments! Does anyone else think as i do about this?

Curiouse on your thoughts.

God bless,

Alex, The last two churches I went to people carried there Bibles. Some did and some didn't. But, the preacher would say open your Bibles to scriptures he was preaching. I think most in churches think the Pastors know what they are talking about. I have been to the Catholic Churches and I never understood when they talked Latin how most of them who did not know Latin even knew what they were talking about. Course that has been many years ago for me since I am getting up there in years.

I guess if you blindly trust you don't need a Bible. Course, I have never been one to trust too much. I would call not reading your Bible lazy among other things. It is kind of like listening to a friend just quiz you on what he thought a test might be about. I myself always wanted to read so I would know and pass the test. I would not want to put my test scores onto another persons knowledge. Yes, I think it is crazy if they don't have Bibles in the place. But, even more crazy to take there word for it and not test the spirits yourself.

In His Love,
Marlene

Martinez:

Hi A;ex,

Why are you shocked?

Those who call themselves by his name have no use for His word other than to use it to wrap around their beastly doctrines to make idols out of them!

Of course it is shocking--to us who know the truth.  "They" think nothing of it.  I used to bring my Bible to church so I could read and NOT listen to the teaching. Martin Luther first brought the idea of "solo scriptura" to the people. The Word only.  Catholics had traditions, other books, and oh yea, the bible too.  I think it is very nice of you to attend w/ your girlfriend and her family. Now you can really see what is going on in Babylon.

Have a great new year Alex!!
