[quote author=Australian link=topic=8785.msg110162#msg110162 date=1265591832] Luke 18:8 Does this mean that there won't be any good people around when Jesus returns? What does this verse mean? [/quote] This is a good question. I love studying esch…

[quote author=ebnyasoo3 link=topic=8788.msg110190#msg110190 date=1265643395] I JUST WANT TO MENTION THAT WE SHOULD REFER TO THE HOLY SPIRIT AS HE NOT it Forgive me [/quote] I am confused by this statement

CertifiedOrthodox if there is one thing that I have learned in converting to Orthodoxy is that while we are given the gift of the Holy Spirit during Christmation not everyone respects The Holy Spirit. It would be like, not the same as, having a wise…

I agree with Mixalhs, truth is truth no matter what another person may believe or say. I understand where you are coming from with your family, my family are not Orthodox at all and have no interest in it. Unfortunately I believe it stems from liber…

[quote author=I Believe link=topic=8562.msg109769#msg109769 date=1264866655] Sorry for the late reply Father Peter....they're actually from the Apostolic Church [/quote] This is a rhetorical question, but how can a church be apostolic when it was…

[quote author=LifeInDeath link=topic=8778.msg110109#msg110109 date=1265510145] [quote author=Mixalhs link=topic=8778.msg110102#msg110102 date=1265507887] It is at this point where I may, unfortunately, have conflicting views. My views on this matter…

I think the belief that because He is God and cannot die is bordering on eutchyes belief that His divinity swallowed up His humanity, which we are accused of believing. Anywhere Adam failed, Christ came to restore. Hence His amazing humility that al…

[quote author=sodr2 link=topic=8764.msg109895#msg109895 date=1265190562] Clarify something for me: Would you be confident in pointing to a Catholic or Hindu individual and say (to yourself) this person will not be saved? [/quote] No I would not, I…

Evolution says that death brought man into the world, Christianity says that man brought death into the world. About people supposedly doing things in the name of God. Islam is the exception since mohammed commands muslims to kill. Hitler was not C…

The scriptures were written over a 4,000 year period and fit together perfectly. A monster in the back yard comes from his mouth and nothing else. There is no scriptures and no other witnesses. While looking outside the Gospels we have Josephus a Je…

[quote author=Ashamed link=topic=8720.msg109463#msg109463 date=1264032421] I'm trying to grow my faith and belief that Jesus is God, but still have doubts that God exists. I find that when i hear about other religions, i get even more confused. and…

Like everything else the adversary has perverted the act of sex. Waiting until you are married is very important, you want to save yourself for your partner. Imagine buying a new car only to find out it has ben used a few times, I know the analogy s…

We should not be shocked by this. Of all the religions in the world which one is attacked the most? We do not see Buddha, Confucious, any of the 3 million hindu gods, or even mohammed for that matter being blasphemed and attacked like Christ. Our ci…

You have to go in steps, in my opinion. As a small child he will see you as his father and will copy you. So it is important for you and the child to pray together as a family every day. It is also important that things like cable not be utilized, h…

If I were to be killed, which is highly probable, and that particular person or persons afterward truly repented and became an Orthodox Christian, I would be happy. To know that my death helped reveal the truth to them is an amazing feeling, not onl…

Ha 2012. Remember y2k? These kind of things condition people to end up rejecting the possibility of the world ever ending and the possibility of acheiving a manmade utopia here on earth, void of God.

I personally like the Interlinear Bible In Hebrew, Greek, and above the Hebrew and Greek is a literal word for word English translation. But as long as we are cross referencing with the church fathers and what not then we should be ok, just stay awa…

Jshouck is correct. If you go around telling people who arent asking that you are fasting then that would be like the pharisees. If someone asks and you say yes, that is fine. If you say yes, we Copts fast 210 days out of the year, then that is wron…
