We read the bible. Furthermore, we HEAR the bible in the regular round of Sunday lessons, going through the whole thing every three years. And our Priests are required to preach on the lesson of the day -- no 50 minute vanity sermons like the prots are so fond of delivering.
Yes, I have heard from several who have assured me they do. Praise God. There is hope for my loved ones.
But please don't discount the Christian Church sermons. I agree with you that there are many"vanity sermons". I can't stand them. There are false teachers, even those who come in Christ name, but that is why I think it is critical to have a biblical base to stand on. So when the false teachers spew their venom, you put on the armor of God and can fight off the enemy.
Not all Christian churches are like what you see on T.V. or read about in the papers, they tend to show the "wacko's". My pastor teaches directly from the bible, diving deep into the scripture and the relevance and significance of it to our lives. I can't wait to go every Sunday to learn more about who God truly is.
So let's be unified in our Christ, even though we don't agree on some points. As long as we agree on the message of the cross and Jesus rose from the dead, we will be saved.
