I don't follow this that much, but after my silly wisecrack, above, I got to thinking: Do I correctly recall that the authorities revealed that his phone made pings close to the murder scene around the time of the killings? And wasn't there some video evidence of his car passing by, like a recon ride? People with better info can refute, correct, or confirm me, please. If that's the case, then

Considering the spiritual import of denominational scriptures, the CS "Quarterly" which publishes the weekly "lesson-sermons." These consist of six paired groups of selections, from the KJV Bible (first) and then Science & Health (second). These should be read by the members daily, then on Sunday they go to their local branch church and hear them read to them by readers.

In 2003 Cardinal Law(less) was replaced by Sean Francis O'Malley OFM, who was not a bishop in regular Catholic hierarchy (especially the Boston Archdiocese) but a Franciscan monk (of some rank, don't know. Abbot?). The RC church went, sort of, outside the church to get a leader for this very (critically) important post. The only thing I know is that he brought the St.J seminarians into town for

No, no an LDS church. A Bible Baptist church. Regarding Summer's astute observation, "If they would make investigators take classes, attend church, and wait at least a few months, they might have a more lasting success." Most of them attended 4 sessions of new convert/newcomer SS classes. Some of them are established believers from other churches. And the Pastor says there are a

The issue is conversion--coming to faith in Christ. All people are called to faith: some do, others don't. The how & why is unique to each individual. It follows, people can and do turn to God at any point or under any circumstances in life: young/old; good/bad fortune; good health/illness or injury; safety/danger; rich/poor. And so on. My point is that at a certain point, often late, in l

Deathbed repentance is Biblically legit; consider the thief on the Cross. One held to his sins, unrepentant, the other came to faith--even if the dialogue was brief, that is the historical assumption. The problem is that by the time a person who's lived a Godless life, they're probably so entangled in a carnal mindset that they're incapable of a soul-felt faith and repentance. My guess is that
