[quote author=Epsaltos Michael link=board=1;threadid=421;start=0#msg5980 date=1089081611] Nettled Crown, looking "good" is not the only reason, Circumcision prevents mold and bacteria growing wich affects the male system and sometimes causes his ski…

I don't know if any of you have heard the Kings of Comedy, D.L. Hughley's stand-up. I'll clean it up a bit for the board. While I agree clothes are not essential, but external, and it depends on one's intent; first impressions can leave a mark. …

Mary the Most Holy Theotokos is the first one that comes to mind. But she was born full of Grace, we are a little further behind than she.

Love at a child's age to God and parents is trusting, instinctual, innocent love. At this age we give God and our parents our intellect and will. When we get older, we have to seek God to know Him. We cannot love what we do not know. To know G…

Deuteronomy 14:1-2 1 You are the children of the LORD your God. Do not cut yourselves or shave the front of your heads for the dead, 2 for you are a people holy to the LORD your God. Out of all the peoples on the face of the earth, the LORD has ch…

according to this view, Abraham defiled himself by circumcision, and so did all the Jews that followed his way.

"Do you not perceive that whatever enters a man from outside cannot defile him, because it does not enter his heart..." why is skin an exception, it is also on the outside...

no, the prophets did NOT burn in hell... Sheol in Hebrew/ Aramaic language means a "resting place," not a place of suffering. Hell "the eternal suffering" is Gehenna. The prophets did NOT go to Gehenna, they went to Sheol until Christ destroyed de…

I support your search for God's calling. I think its important to remember than religious life is a day to day process. Even if you get all the Scripture and prayer knowledge in the world, temptation is always present. Pray to God to ask what He …

It could also be used to remind oneself of his or her duty as a Christian. It shows the love one has for the Church as well if they are doing it to continue the beautiful Tradition of the Saints. It all depends on intent, if you get it to show off…

Hey Mike, Read the 2 posts I copied on page one. Mike

i agree, *but* God is merciful, especially to children who have no personal sin of their own... God's judgment is just. Although the baby has Adam's sin, we could assume that the Baptism of Desire covers that, because of the extreme circumstances.…

but a baby's conscience is pure

you are right, negligence is in and of itself sinful, not as great a sin as purposeful, but still sinful

That was beautiful... But some more questions... was your maturity level the same as it was then? how did it feel to be 16 going out with a 21 year old? Or did you not "go out"? Are you and he both born and brought up in the US or Canada? I gue…

our bodies are definately ours A human being is Body and Soul you cannot separate the two; without the Body the Soul cannot be; without the Soul, the Body cannot function. The Bible is telling us to be careful of what we embrace in the culture tha…

means what? What word or phrase? Generally, I'd say no, but its your responsibility to make sure you clear things up with the other person

tell us a little about your experience: Did you hide it from your parents? How old is the guy? What did 'love' mean to you at 16 and has it changed at 20? If so, how? What kind of relationship did you two have at 16? Thanks

nardin, why don't you use any punctuation? it is very hard to read your posts without 'commas' or 'periods'. No offense, just advice...

I agree, I would say that verse only applies if the tattoo is gotten for the purpose of some pagan religious practice...

in ancient Egypt, the pharoah worshippers would tattoo themselves when a relative died because in their belief the ghost of the relative wouldn't be able to recognize the person, since the tattoo was added after the relative died... the Jews would f…

"I don't know about anyone else, but I would never want to wear tight pink leather shorts. It's not appropriate for guys like me." speak for yourself NC ;)

me thinks this thread will be closed soon... that can only happen to those who 'play for the other team.' We were referring to those on 'the home team.'

aside from booty shorts, its the same as the tank top thread... if you wear real baggy, ankle leangth shorts, I dont really see a problem, but short daisy duke shorts are for attracting the opposite sex, there is no other purpose for it...

Where does the Church stand on tattoos and body piercings, especially tongue piercing? Greetings in Christ. Your question regards whether the Church has made pronouncements on tattoos and other forms of what some may consider “bodily enhancements,…

i think denying communion is going way way too far... He was not sinning, nor openly professing heresy... The argument that we weren't born with piercings doesn't hold, we weren't born with clothes either, but..so what?? Personally, I don't find an…
