Sex, I believe, is for the purposes of procreation, a product of the love (giving life) thus between a man and woman; just as our creation had been made out of love by the Father through the Son and for the Son. And procreation is sustained in an en…

Repentance literally means turning to God.

That just means that the executors of justice will be accountable before God, because He gave them that role! There is no authority that is not subject to God, and hence, they should not be seen as rivals to God, but administrators of God's Justice.…

I am sorry but that is immature. God gave a law to the Israelites, giving certain peoples the responsibilities to judge. God does not forbid judging, but judging with hypocrisy.

Please pray for me sister, because it is clear that you have a warm heart and very compassionate- as I am sure is Hiz Child. However, I must clear few things up. Can you please see my second post and tell me what you don't agree about with my defi…

Do you think Fr Antonios would mind if we quote him? For those who followed the argument, his response could be found here: http://stbishoy.org.au/modules/wordpress/?p=48#comments I certainly agree, both in the reasons that violence is necessary…

Let me put it this way. Is there any evidence that in the past- in a less relative society, and in a less multicultural society with increased sensitivity- was there any whim that a genuine Christian should not be involved with any war, or state exe…

We never make a doctrine- we only define it.Thank God for those who "rightly defined the word of truth".

[quote author=Hizz_chiilld link=topic=6500.msg86238#msg86238 date=1209267357] Sin=ETERNAL DEATH, ie, eternal life in HELL !!!!! It is not a reference to mortality... It is NOT OUR PLACE to remove evil by means of murder.. what if this human being …
-
No, not at all. You miss the point entirely, I am afraid. I am not talking about initiating war, but our duty to fight evil when innocent victims suffer. And murder, frankly, deserves death. Christ instituted the Death Penalty in Israel, and becam…

I think most secular historians and anti-Catholic 'Christians' see Pope Leo to be the first to exert this sort of authority. Indeed, it was his delegates overzealousness to Rome and their deceit in the Fourth "Ecumenical" council that began the schi…

I think you are mistaken Bishoy. The theory of Evolution is amenable, as all other theories, to modification and alteration during the ages. Since, when we talk about evolution we are talking about hypothesis, and principles, a blanket "false" woul…

I was thinking the same Kerestina! I am involved in medicine. I need to be elucidated on this topic, too. Nice to hear from you again Kerestina :P

I have read all your posts- well skimmed over it. All your questions have been answered about 17 centuries ago, in the document "On the Incarnation (of the Logos/Word)" by S. Athanasius. Firstly, God just is. God is unlimited. God is good. God is b…

Yes, the Pharisees and the Jews at the time were in great error, and they were bereft of the glory of God- how sad it must be for Christ to see His own chosen people be so hard-hearted towards Him! And we, do the same...we might say that Christ is …

I don't support just any war. And I don't have a solid opinion on the 'Iraq war', or the 'War on Terror', or the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, or any other war. Perhaps, my error would be that I have not defined pacifism. Pacifism is opposition to …
-
Then why do you are you a pacifist?! What in the Christian religion has impelled such a belief? If it is not your idea about love and forgiveness, then what is it?

Sister, I think you are confusing what love means. Love is not liking people. We often think that you either Love-Like-Apathetic-Dislike-Hate someone. This is not right. You can dislike someone and love them at the same time. Can you think of an exa…
-
What if you are baptised, and you believe, and have not confessed a sin (KNOWINGLY) out of embarassement?? Then you have not repented that sin. What happens?? Let Christ Judge. If you were practising the way of repentance, perhaps... The main th…

I am from Australia. Greetings.

Yeah- just take note, however, of Biblegateway.com (as Hizz_chiild mentioned before). It is a brilliant ministry. Also search for intraverse- if you type a reference and point to it, a popup appears with the verse.

The truth is that these feelings are infatuations, most likely, and that they will pass. It would be a rash move to complicate matters by informing an equally confused teenager- ergo the reason that other posters have asked how spiritually mature sh…

Guys...faith is not belief, and works is not always based on faith. I think the Orthodox view would be sola spiritu fide or something.We are saved by walking in faith- and walking in faith means all the Sacraments (esp. Baptism, Confirmation, Penanc…

Guys- it is not like Christianity is a made up religion. The evidence of the Crucifixion and the Resurrection- the miracles our ancestors were blessed with- the real substantial impact that faith has on our lives, should make this "Evolution" issue …

Sorry- what was that? Can you be a bit more clear? :P

[quote author=epshiri link=topic=6477.msg85565#msg85565 date=1207925733] calm down with the essays [/quote] Haha...I think we have a predilection to do that. But would you prefer that we had 5 posts to cover all our responses! But they are good "E…

You have just found out that you are pathetic without God. That knowledge of what is Right and Wrong has not brought you any closer to Righteousness. So, let us seek God, let it be Him who purifies our contrite heart and let it be Him who renews and…
