Christ says that we need His Word to live. If we are living without His Word, then we are not living. I must admit, I can totally understand how someone can come to this conclusion being Orthodox. The reason is as follows: If you have passed 1 …

[quote author=mabsoota link=topic=9235.msg114446#msg114446 date=1274058254] 2 points: 1. the patriarchs got changed because the emperor of the roman empire had too much power and used to decide who was pope. a bit like the king/queen of britain bein…

I was just reading the book on salvation by Bishop K. Ware, and he states clearly that there is no salvation without forgiveness. If I fail to forgive someone, then I've lost my salvation. So, you are blessed to be able to forgive easily. Howeve…

[quote author=danny_iki link=topic=9235.msg114424#msg114424 date=1273899407] When St. Athanasius was sent into exile, the Arians (not the Church) installed Gregory of Cappadocia as Patriarch over Alexandria. This is NOT St. Gregory the Theologian or…

Hang on a second!! Before you all get too comfy!!!! So, Athanasious was sent to exile, but it means that the pope that replaced him was still heretical?? Who instated a heretical Pope in our Church?? What happened? How could that happen? Our p…

Oh Im so sorry, It makes PERFECT sense now. Its quite obvious really. Look at what happened: 19) Alexander I (313-326) First ecumenical Council occurred vacant (326-328) 20) Athanasius I (328-373, 328-339) Served as a Deacon for the First Counci…

[quote author=peterfarrington link=topic=9228.msg114412#msg114412 date=1273868336] Why not? It seems to have EVERYTHING to do with that verse. When someone is baptised and born again they are made clean and must not be considered unclean in any wa…

[quote author=peterfarrington link=topic=9228.msg114410#msg114410 date=1273866605] Well it is reasonable to think in terms of the baptism of others giving them a new start and making them clean. But Cornelius and his household had not been baptised …

[quote author=peterfarrington link=topic=9228.msg114408#msg114408 date=1273864959] I am not sure what you mean because you appear to have said exactly what I said? Where do you see a difference? Father Peter [/quote] No, I get the impression that …

So basically, i misinterpreted the verse? That's what you are saying? That I've taken it out of context???

[quote author=peterfarrington link=topic=9228.msg114398#msg114398 date=1273848087] A person who is baptised is washed clean and begins a new life in Christ. Their state is purer - if we want to make a competition of it - than a Christian who was bap…

[quote author=Michael Boutros link=topic=9228.msg114390#msg114390 date=1273791809] On the contrary, I believe that you are saying exactly what everyone else has already said. This verse is telling every single Jew, who thought that they were "chosen…

[quote author=peterfarrington link=topic=9228.msg114383#msg114383 date=1273750880] I guess there are lots of things that could and will be added, but I am working at the moment as I guess lots of others are. What are your reflections on the passage…

So that's it.. this verse is only applicable to jewish people who needed to learn how to break down barriers between different cultures and nations, and accept others also as Christian. That's it?! There's nothing else anyone here wants to add?

Here's the passage from the Bible: And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper? 4:10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the groun…

[quote author=DanieM link=topic=9228.msg114367#msg114367 date=1273700928] The Jews had strict dietary laws. They consider some foods and food combinations to be unclean. Peter needed convincing to deviate from the customs he was used to, and was off…

[quote author=peterfarrington link=topic=9228.msg114364#msg114364 date=1273700230] The Jews thought Gentiles were unclean. Father Peter [/quote] Yes, but do you have any more contemplations concerning this statement: What God has made clean, do no…

Fr. Peter, So would you agree with purgatory? (in the Catholic context)? For me, I know many orthodox christians who simply say "I don't know". But concerning my original point: whether we ask for justice, or whether we just forgive and forget; …

[quote author=peterfarrington link=topic=9225.msg114348#msg114348 date=1273666545] I don't think it is wrong but a spiritual man would perhaps seek to learn the lesson of Abouna Youstos. It also matters a little whether the person has dependents or …

[quote author=peterfarrington link=topic=9222.msg114350#msg114350 date=1273667894] But Chalcedon was a dyophysite council. It is the council which insisted that Christ is 'in two natures'. [/quote] Hi Fr. Peter, Thanks. I see. I didnt know. I just…

Is it wrong to forgive yet to depend on God for justice? I mean, is that forgiveness, or is seeking divine justice, not vengence something bad? For example, if someone falsely accuses me of murder, and I spend 50 years in prison because he bore fa…

Hello Fr. I thought that seeing Leo was involved in Chalcedon, that his Church would have ended up as miaphysite, but as you said: they are dyophysite in fact. How comes? And why on earth do the Greeks still see us as Monophysites (heretics) when …
