  • + Irini nem ehmot, [quote author=Unworthy1 link=topic=11959.msg142325#msg142325 date=1312153641] There's a difference when addressing someone directly and when referring to them. I mean it would have been awkward or inappropriate for him to write, …

  • + Irini nem ehmot, I was just skimming through Hebrews now and noticed something that could potentially add an even larger question mark as to St. Paul's authorship of this 'epistle' (sermon). At the end of the 'epistle' (sermon) we read the follow…

    in Authorship of Hebrews Comment by Holmes July 2011
  • + Irini nem ehmot, Perhaps. However, you can agree that St. Mary was full of Grace, a quality no other human possess. The reason was because she was the epitome of humility and submission. She completely submitted to God's will. How can a person, w…

  • + Irini nem ehmot, [quote author=imikhail link=topic=11959.msg142307#msg142307 date=1312145782] We have manuscripts that date to the year 85 AD that are collections of St Paul epistles. In these manuscripts the epistle to the Hebrews came right aft…

  • + Irini nem ehmot, [quote author=Meena_Ameen link=topic=9585.msg142266#msg142266 date=1312060752] Now, the fallen nature is a mortal nature which is prone to sin. If we say Mary had the fallen nature but was not prone to sin than she did not exactl…

    in God's existence Comment by Holmes July 2011
  • + Irini nem ehmot, No. Disease is a result of our fallen, mortal and corrupt nature. As a result of this corruption, we are prone to disease and sickness. It has nothing to do with demons.

  • + Irini nem ehmot, Many of the early Fathers attributed authorship to St. Paul. That is why the Church refers to it as, 'The Epistle of Paul to the Hebrews'. While the content is certainly Pauline, the style, as scholars argue, is not. That is why …

  • + Irini nem ehmot, I'm sorry, but you are wrong. This shows a grievous misunderstanding of what sin, our fallen nature and salvation is all about. Sin is but the symptom. Christ came to save us and heal our disease, not just treat a symptom. What i…

    in Original Sin Comment by Holmes July 2011
  • + Irini nem ehmot, I know what you mean. However, I think it's important to realize, a thought in and of itself is not sinful. What makes it sinful is if one allows that thought to take hold and dwell on it. It's a progression, as St. James teaches…
