As for the Church of Rome: it is one of the most corrupt organizations on the Planet and the doctrines are not based on Scripture e.g. salvation is works based and not on faith. If you dispute this you may want to check out the many articles and youtube videos of R C Sproul on the topic. I've...

Okay. I understand you. Bye

Indeed so. I get lots of complaints for telling it straight....from people who don't like unvarnished truth.

WB: You're projecting.

WB: Who didn't...Karl or Groucho?

Okay. Understood. Is not the form of communion you're talking about in a Church meeting/attendance setting really in effect part of the 'traditions' instituted by clergy? And isn't it the case that Christians can 'commune' daily and throughout each day '"never cease praying" - with God when we...

LOL You might want to take a closer look at what is written and you may not 'feel so good'...until the penny drops and then you will 'feel good.'

Okay. A purely personal emotional need with no basis in Scripture...much like the emotional need for a Santa Claus and feelgood. But as Marx said - Groucho, not Karl - there ain't no Sanity Clause.

WB: None of which supports the worldview of celebrating Christmas. Another forum member has tacitly admitted there's no Scriptural support for Jesus and His apostles and early disciples celebrating Christmas and that the earliest record is 336 AD. Whether the Early Church Fathers celebrated...

WB: You found nothing in Anglican doctrines about celebrating Christmas ....But nonetheless the mainstream church does celebrate that festival ...and apparently so do you. You can find no Scriptural references for Jesus and/or His apostles and early disciples celebrating that festival and you...

So please do tell me what is the basis for celebrating your birthday?

A Google search will produce articles supporting your view and mine on this topic. What persuades me that an annual Remembrance is the correct exegesis of the Scriptural account? Moses was instructed by YHWH that the Passover was an annual event to be remembered on Nisan 14. Jesus was the...

Collins English Dictionary: doctrine: a creed or body of teachings of a religious, political, or philosophical group presented for acceptance or belief. That exposition accurately describes the mainstream churches e.g. the Anglican Church view of Christians in that they fully expect all who...

Being an apostle or disciple of Jesus doesn't mean they lived perfect and sin-free lives...Paul wrote about his personal struggles in saying "that which i wish to do I don't do and what I don't want to do is what i do." And that certainly applies to me and, I will dare say, other Christians...

Okay, so I'll accept that your comment that there's no Scriptural support for Jesus and His disciples celebrating Christmas.

Yes. Angels informed shepherds about the good news of the birth of Jesus and which they as witnesses would attest to for the historical record. And yes, of course, the angel rejoiced because the understood and appreciate what His appearance would mean for fallen mankind. As for the Magi, they...

WB: LOL To understand doctrines and other Bible related matters the thing to do is ....refer to what's written in the Bible....and to not insert anything extra Biblical to support unBiblical views.

I have information on a USB stick somewhere - if I can locate it - which gives a pretty strong argument based on Scripture and the accepted secular historical date for the reign of Augustus that Jesus was born in late September/early October. If you're interested I'll try to find the usb...

As you evidently don't have an answer that addresses the specific issue and choose for the second time to obfuscate we'll leave it at that.

WB: You've given me and other readers YOUR ill-defined definition of 'well-being.' I asked you for how ALL people can arrive at the same definition of well-being in the context of Richard Dawkins view that a human foetus is of no more importance than the foetus of a pig.
