| 2009-06-02 | Don | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you. |
| 2008-10-27 | Don | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you. The citation of Romans 3:23 assisted me significantly. |
| 2008-09-19 | D. | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you. |
| 2008-08-20 | Don | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you. The reading seems to state that the Catholic Church is just indicating that bread actually is to be thought of as his body. |
| 2008-08-02 | Carter | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you very much! This was more than helpful. I had heard a lot of things that people said "came from the Bible" but upon investigation I found them to be completely false. Anyways, I am always prepared for Him to come, just as I always remind myself that every day could be my last and I thank God for all the time I have. Needless to say, I don't want to be spending my life afraid of the End of Times! Thanks again, and God bless! |
| 2008-04-25 | Isaac | 10 | 10 | 9 | 10 | Yes | Thank you so much, that's probably the first clear answer I've found. I read somewhere that the Hebrew version was translated into Greek for the Mediterranean area because it was the common language of that area at the time... It seems the catholic church got a hold of it and added what they felt was necessary? A few months ago I started wondering about the differences between catholicism and protestantism and I've been trying to figure out who is right. Surely calling the pope "the holy father" isn't right, but I wondered if they had anything that we don't which we are missing or not doing right. Nothing I have found so far has led me to believe anything about purgatory or the authority of the catholic church is correct, which gives me great faith in the truth. Thanks, Isaac |
| 2008-03-03 | Gloria Luciani | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you very much for your time, your encouragement and your explanation. I will study each Dogma carefully - it was of great help to me. Gloria |

| 2007-06-29 | EAB | 9 | 9 | 9 | 10 | No | |
| 2007-06-23 | EAB | 8 | 8 | 10 | 10 | No | |

| 2006-12-05 | Edward | 9 | 9 | 9 | 10 | Yes | |
| 2006-11-14 | Stan | 10 | 9 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Elder Greg, Thank you very much for your answer. I will digest everything you have written to me in response. Could you give me further your understanding of Eccl.9:5 and especially Eccl.12:7. Thank you again, Stan |
