4blessingsmommy Our family started watching it a while back. We have 4 children, 2 of whom are twins, so we can relate somewhat to some of the things they have endured. We enjoyed watching it when it was more about raising the children in a good home, being good parents...

4blessingsmommy I agree with you that men to try to insert their beliefs instead of just following the teaching of the Bible. The Bible had women who taught the gospel. God used illustrations of the strength of women all through the Bible. The Bible had a woman judge. Women...

DO you believe in God? And if you do what kid of church do you go to and what do they teach?

5 responses

4blessingsmommy Yes, what I mean is that we don't believe in teaching anything other than what is written in the Bible, which is God's word, which by the way was not authored by man, but authored and inspired by God. He just used people to write the words down on paper, but...

4blessingsmommy Yes, I do believe in God. I attend a non-denominational church. It is Church of God, the one from Anderson, IN. It is the same type of church Bill and Gloria Gaither are from. We are a holiness church teaching only Bible doctrine. No man made doctrine.
