    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 31, 2025
     | 145 views

    The study of the Kingdom Parables continues, this time the Leaven. There is misunderstanding on what the leaven really is and we look carefully at that. Also the Roman Catholic church and leaven; and the Jews and leaven. What does this parable mean in context?

    THE KINGDOM PARABLES – THE FOURTH – THE LEAVEN – Part 1 [A]. INTRODUCTION TO THE PARABLE AND CATHOLIC TEACHING We are coming to the fourth parable in the set of seven Kingdom Parables that the Lord delivered and recorded in Matthew’s Gospel.

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 3, 2025
     | 423 views

    Formal church membership that involves special membership and voting rights is contentious. In this Part 2, I open up the matter to show how out of sync the matter is with the membership of the one Body of Christ, and the discrimination. We delve into some scriptures to bring this out.

    IS OFFICIAL OR FORMAL CHURCH MEMBERSHIP IN A LOCAL CHURCH ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURE – PART 2 In Part 1 we looked at the practice some churches have of there being an official local church membership that divides “members”, adherents and attendees into “MEMBERS” and “NON-MEMBERS” depending if one has ...read more
