The Solution is Preaching Preaching is central in how God communicates to us. Preaching solves our spiritual problems and brings blessings. But preaching has to be actually reading and explaining the Word of God, exhorting and motivating others to obey God.
Topics: What many people think | What is a church? | What makes a Church Function? | The Focus on Preaching | Harmony and Fellowship are Dependent on "Like Mindedness" | Convincing everybody to Think the Same Way | Is it good that everybody thinks the same way? No. | Deference, or giving others the Preference.
Excerpt: Preaching fixes in us an understanding that causes faith. Faith changes our lives and brings us into conformity with the will of God. The Word of God fixes our problems and sets our lives straight in the sight of God.

According to this verse, the souls of the dead are not still walking the earth after their death, but they are in heaven or hell, also see Luke 16:19-31. God imposes limitations on what is possible, and God prohibits the dead from returning to earth.
If we understand that there is God who alone is the only Supreme Being, and then His will is important. But God wants us (human beings) to obey Him voluntarily. In Catholicism, they accept and teach that the Lord God of the Bible exists, but they think that they have a way to achieve their own will even if God just says no. This way is through the virgin Mary (and the saints in a lesser degree).

Buy me a Cup of Coffee! To make an old work into a PDF, a module for theWord, MySword, or eSword takes time. These works are scans from old books, and as such, I have to go through the text some dozen times looking for places where the OCR is incorrect, blurred, or just skipped something. Then there are the old Bible references like John iii. 16. I have had to invest days and days in macros to read a long text, and make substitutions (above search for "iii" and replace with "3:"). Unfortunately, you have to start with 150 in Roman numerals (CL) and work your way backwards. This takes time and patience, (and being smart enough to do it in a macro language) and then making the text into theWord or eSword, and converting it also into MySword. Please donate something to me once every 6 months or year, even if it is only $5, so that I can pay my bills for hosting, and also keep things going. paypal.me/davidcoxmex/
