| + | * Jesus Christ is the ONLY human who has never sinned.\\ | ||
| + | * Jesus IS God.\\ | ||
| + | * God only has to say something ONCE for it to be true.\\ | ||
| + | * The Bible is the divinely inspired, completely PERFECT Word of God. That said, some translations have varied in word usage through the years.\\ | ||
| + | * The true Church was built ONLY on the foundation of Jesus Christ.\\ | ||
| + | * Jesus Christ organized the Church, the religion of Christianity.\\ | ||

| + | * Marry ONLY if you have not been married (or your spouse is deceased). (This sentence is still being researched).\\ | ||
| + | * The original church was a HUGE gathering of people. The size of a Church building or congregation, big or small, isn't a big deal.\\ | ||
