  • I guess the name thing is pretty subjective and like lots of things there are trends and fashions. Vincent is maybe not so popular now as it used be but there are still lots of people with the name including Vin Diesel, Vinnie Jones, Vince Vaughn a…

  • Vincent is of latin origin and means 'conquering'.
  • Julian - latin origin, meaning downy-haired, youthful. While I understand wanting to keep family traditions or to inspire (didn't Bill Cosby choose E names for his kids to remind them to always excel?) I agree with MarMar - if you really like a nam…
  • Hebrews 13:5 and 6 "... because God has said, Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you" "So we say with confidence, The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?"
  • True, names often have baggage - I like the name Joseph a lot, but wouldn't want anyone to think of Stalin or Goebbels if I chose it for my child. Valens, Valentine and Victor are also names associated with Roman Emperors PS I thought Marcus Aurel…

  • I’m not clear about the motivation – is the concern about the person or about yourself? Sometimes we can get so caught up in trying to follow the rules that we forget the most important commandments: Love God and Love one another. To my mind Jesus …
  • I've always thought that A and S were struck down because they'd renegged on a promise before God and lied about it. Jesus told us to love one another as we love ourselves - I'd prefer someone to break a promise to me to try and help me rather tha…
  • No worries, I just didn't want anyone to feel I was pointing fingers. :)
  • Although I am still learning to live as a Christian should, I try to use love as my guide when it comes to issues like this. What would be the most loving thing to do - keep the promise and have the person go on to suicide or to tell someone who mi…
  • I agree. It seems rather ludicous to make such accustations based on pure speculations. I'm not sure what this is referring to, but if it's addressing the quote from my post I'd like to make it clear that I made no accusation. I said I personally d…
  • I'm not sure who posted it and I certainly don't accept the premises of either HG HB or Davinci Code, but the fact that there is a temporal gap between Jesus and the Merovingian dynasty doesn't necessarily argue against His having founded it. Jesu…

  • I think the Davinci Code story is nothing new. There was an earlier book (in the 70s? 80s?) that speculated the same thing. IIRC it was called Holy Blood, Holy Grail by Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh, and Henry Lincoln. It was based on the idea th…
