chakka - i do think it is possible to be sad about the absence of the comfort that a faith can give, but that doesn't put the faith there.
personally, having watched Christians have their faith tested, and sometimes destroyed on a minute-by-minute basis in this world - I am glad not to have a faith, only to have it battered and questioned every time i turn on the TV or open a newspaper.
Priests say that our calamities are man-made, but that does not sit with a loving and forgiving God. We do suffer, but that is because circumstances make us that way - not because 'God' is testing us for our faith.

//No the Scriptural record does tell us of true Christians being organized back like that, but if the structure of the Catholic Church is in line with that of the early true Christians, how is it that we find absolutely no mention of it, not even a hint regarding such an elaborate system? //
Charles Taze Russell isn't mentioned either.

This proved to be true, Jesus prophesied: This good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come. (Matthew 24:14)
Whether they will accept the good news or not is a matter of personal choice. There is no compulsion. If there were, conversion would be meaningless. To be acceptable to God, worship must come from the heart.

goodlife You can not use the bible to prove the bible . That's like a murderer using a spouse to supply an alibi.

goodlife I was just thinking of the most distressing event in my life was when I lost my wife and I received the greatest comfort of all from my cats.
They needed me I needed them . I would place them even above my family in enabling me to cope with that situation. They were there 24/7 for months
on end.
