hi, +ilovejesus, i was looking for that verse and didn't find it! yes the important thing is that our bodies belong to God, so we should ask if Jesus would take part in a well-toned abs competition, and, if not, then it's also not for us. this is wh…

matthew 5:28 'if anyone looks at a woman lustfully, he has already committed adultery with her in his heart' romans 15:1 'we who are strong out to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves' james 5:19 'whoever turns a sinner fro…

in my opinion, unless he's a philosopher, you should start by explaining the basics to him. you can use any situation, for example a discussion about being grateful, to discuss how grateful you are to God. invite him to your church. give him a brief…

i agree with these fine points. i expect many people will then ask 'why did God institute animal sacrifice in the old testament?' i think it is to show that sin is so serious and so awful, that nothing a man can do can put it right. there had to be …

when God said to adam 'you will die' this means the spiritual death of separation from God. that's why the devil could say 'you will not die' that is you will not immediately cease to exist. Jesus had to go through a sort of separation from the fath…

2 thessalonians 3: 10-12 :)

i didn't hear about it, except on these forums. i think it's one of those things which is not main-stream OO tradition, but not specifically considered heretical. our priest (coptic) has talked a lot about heaven and hell and salvation and didn't me…

merci, peter :)

i understand it like this: they saw only light, not God Himself. the men were shocked because they did not see anyONE, they expect sound to come from people, not from lights! in the NIV translation, it says in chapter 22 they did not 'understand' th…

i agree with jydeacon matthew 10: 27-31 He knows what we need before we ask Him. matthew 6:8

i agree, that's a very good article (and short!) playing the lottery is 1. trusting in chance, not God, so sinful 2. encouraging a system which keeps poor people in debt because they keep playing the lottery to try to escape poverty. so even if you …

study the life of Jesus, love the Lord with all your heart and your neighbour as yourself return good for evil, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, flee from every sin, submit to God, resist the devil and he will flee from you. a…

u will be very welcome! i like what clay says 'if things get too much' the coptic service is quite stimulating, usually 2 things going on at once plus lots of things to look at, so if you get a bit lost, just ask God "Lord what is it you want me to …

thanks, andrew, for clarifying the EO position. it does not seem fundamentally different to ours. on behalf of my catholic friends, yes, they use the term co-redemptrix, but they do not confuse her with the trinity. i also think, though that the cat…

ok, i have a break in my night shift, so i decided to do some internet research for you. the 1st thing i found was on orthodoxwiki: http://orthodoxwiki.org/Holy_Snakes but this seems to have the same primary source as the youtube clip, so could be f…
