  • Dear Copticyouth86, If you claim yourself to be a homosexual you are unrighteous, living in a state of sin, blaspheming against the Holy Spirit and you will be thrown into hell. Of course if you are not Christian, disregard the above but be very w…

  • [quote author=copticyouth86 link=topic=12337.msg145432#msg145432 date=1317435296] Imikhail, the claims in your last post have no basis in reality, and are insulting. Please educate yourself on this issue before making baseless assertions, unless of …

  • [quote author=mikehenry link=topic=12384.msg145398#msg145398 date=1317349400] Also, since this post thread exists... What about the word "athlophoros"? It has, until recently, been translated as "struggle-mantled", but that is not what the original…
