Morning
Let us labour to enter into that rest. Heb. 4:11
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction: ... strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Matt...
This is a lovely acapella psalm:
Psalm 99 (1650 SMV)
1 Th' eternal Lord doth reign as king, let all the people quake; He sits between the cherubims, let th' earth be mov'd and shake.
2 The Lord in Sion great and high above all people is;
3 Thy great and dreadful name (for it is holy) let...

I just listened to this song from Jehovah's witnesses song book.
It is apparently based on Psalm 91.
In the Jehovah's witnesses bible it reads thus:91 Anyone dwelling in the secret place of the Most High+

"Catholic"
513 The third mark of the Church is that she is Catholic; that is, universal. And justly is she called Catholic, because, as St. Augustine says, she is diffused by the splendour of one faith from the rising to the setting sun."

488 Portions of the Universal Church are usually called churches, as when the Apostle mentions the Church at Corinth, at Galatia, of the Laodiceans, of the Thessalonians.
489 The private families of the faithful he also calls churches. The church in the family...
I haven't participated in the recent anti-catholic threads. They appear to be created for other people. I do not want to give them credence because they are full of inaccuracies and errors. I believe that they are likely to harm the reputation of Christianity Haven.
Other Names Given The Church In Scripture
471 Many names, moreover, which are replete with mysteries, have been used to designate the Christian body. Thus, by the Apostle, it is called the house and edifice of God. If, says he to Timothy, I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to...
The passages speak of what motivates one's speaking. The same things will motivate one's writing.
Matthew 15:11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
Matthew 15:18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come...
ARTICLE IX : "I BELIEVE IN THE HOLY CATHOLIC CHURCH; THE COMMUNION OF SAINTS"
The Importance Of This Article
458 With what great diligence pastors ought to explain to the faithful the truth of this ninth Article will be easily seen, if we attend chiefly to two considerations.
459 First, as...
It seems likely to me that with the proliferation of threads written by people who are not Catholics about the Catholic Church and it's alleged wickedness Christianity Haven will soon develop a reputation as safe haven for anti-catholic sentiment.
Matthew 15:11 Not that which goeth into the...
