In churches such as RC and EO (and more), their priests are sent to pastor churches without the congregations input. Am I correct in stating that first off?
My question for the thread concerns WHEN did it happen that congregations began to select their own pastors? Was it during Luther's time...
The House democrats want to eliminate the electoral college. If Hillary Clinton had won the Presidency, would they still want to eliminate the electoral college?

We had to deactivate the automated birthday greeter that makes the birthday threads for members. He had a little bit too much celebration this New Year's Eve and went bizerk with the greetings. Hopefully we can turn it back on very soon and not have it glitch again.
I'm having a routine cat scan in the morning. I'm always told no food for 4 hours prior to it but this is the first time they're telling me no liquids including water for 4 hours prior either. I got yelled at 15 years ago by a nurse who told me that no liquids never includes water and I need to...
I was listening to the radio this morning and they were having people call in to tell them their biggest monthly car payment they've ever had to pay. I was shocked by so many people paying almost $700 a month for a truck payment. They HAD to have all the bells and whistles they admitted. :drive:
Another thread made me want to ask this question of Can God hide from us?
Normally I'd say No but there is the part in the New Testament where the risen Jesus was walking along the road and the apostles with Him did not recognize him. Jesus of course was in plain sight but He was not recognized...
My Aunt Carol will be passing away soon. Please pray for her to be at peace. Also pray for her husband and 3 adult sons. And my mother too...they were so close.

See the link for the explanation of what the furloughs are.
My husband used to work for the government and we still have friends back in Chicago who still do. Furloughs used to be scary for us because we wouldn't...
Galatians 4:4-6 But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, 5 so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons. 6 Because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our...
The first person to recognize Jesus was an unborn child.
Luke 1:41 When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
I think it's fascinating that God wanted us to know about the faith of an unborn child who knew the Savior was...
Have you ever had the chance to get in and out of a car that had suicide doors?

Does your family talk about the birth of Jesus during Advent or Christmas? How about when you get together to open gifts? Or at the table eating that big meal? Does the topic come up?
If it doesn't, what is an easy way to bring it up without any fighting since religion is one of those big...
