I say the former, and many get offended at that- so I have been trying to reduce it. The latter is definitely not a sin- this is not a euphemism- it's substitution. It is a very good way of changing habits, but it's the first step, I guess.

Very, very, very speculative. The same was true of Rome.

By overweight, you mean the way that the Medical profession has determined it- the BMI? "Phew, I got a BMI of 24.99- I'm safe!"

I completely disagree. There is no Biblical evidence at all that everyone has equal resources to living spiritualy well. Whilst God can and has brought the most filthiest, abhorent men and women history and made them the greatest saints of Christend…

This is about responsibility. By your argument, God alone is responsible, as He acts as a random, dictator and author of everyone's destiny. This is heresy. God, the prophets, and all of mankind knows the acting is responsible for his/her actions. W…

I see nothing wrong with it. Actually, I find it quite intelligent and coherent.

Firstly, if they both need to be baptised, both will be baptised by the same three dunks- since both are being submerged. Secondly, if they were adults and one did not concede, than only one head will be covered by water, and receive the Chrism or…

Haha...that got me through highschool. No- this is not MCQ. It is a mixture of MCQ and short answers.

I would say, rather, "willing to will" and "willingly pray to pray willingly" haha. Sometimes we know we have to at least start a journey, not because we want to reach the destination, but we know that it is the right course. There will be times whe…

I think it is just a figure of speech. It has nothing to do with God's perception of time. "Day" in Hebrew probably means "at the time". I think it is just a Hebrew idiom. Death is a process. He losts his immortality the day/time that he transgres…

I think it is strong evidence, but its strength seems a bit too overemphasised by the interviewee of Lee Strobel. However, I think there is greater evidence- in our own lives :) Well, I certainly hope so- for Christ's sake, and yours, and the world'…

Music being the language of the soul, and is something we tend to meditate both consciously and subconsciously, has a very profound impact on the essence of a person. Tradition tells us that Lucifer was in charge of the Angelic Choir. With such a ro…

Saint Luke (may his blessings be with us all- especially me in my upcoming Medical Exams :P), was called by St. Paul "the beloved Physician". Thus the connection. He is truly an inspiring and amazing Apostle. St. Paul, called him "beloved", which me…

I am sure Bigee that you have met decent Muslims and that you have also met charlatan Christians (amongst whom I am probably the first). God looks at the heart of the Mohammedans, not just their "religion" when judging them. I am not saying they wil…

Condoms and contraception, I believe, has much in every way to be responsible for the decline of chastity in the West. When the Church of England gathered together to see if they should reverse the policy of "no contraceptives in marriage", a bishop…

Thanks. We really appreciate that.

[quote author=QT_PA_2T link=topic=6832.msg92453#msg92453 date=1215565134] Can someone just explain: when we die, what happens to us? Where do our souls go? If our souls are part of our bodies, then does this mean that this dies with our bodies? So, …

We want you to be baptized soon, too. It will bring us great joy when we can finally call in you our brother in Christ. But don't worry :) There was a magician in Acts, who wanted to be baptized, by St. Peter refused and it was only later when he un…

[quote author=QT_PA_2T link=topic=6868.msg92331#msg92331 date=1215381978] I for one do not get into the word for word dissection of what I'm looking at in Coptic - but I can follow along and get the meaning or the idea of what I'm reading. If I ch…

I am sorry Maged, but I will have to defend my brother Vas here. Believe me, I also sometimes get tired of his seemingly endless ramblings, but he has legitimate concerns in this thread, and the way you dismissed them (at least in my view) was unwar…
