  • This brings me back to square one; confusion. My problem is that I understand and can relate to both sides of the story; the one that sees some devilish potential and the one that appreciates the Catholics' need for passion (pain) in their religiou…
  • And, how is it that when St Mary first appeared to her, she "Screamed and ran away...frightened"! What is this telling you. When a saint, or the Holy Mother of God appears to a blessed person, they are filled with total and utter peace. How is it …
  • Yes, that's true. But take the story of Myrna Nazzour for instance. She visited HH Pope Shenouda III. While he didn't issue any formal declaration that what was going on was true, her hands oozed oil in his presence and he didn't declare any of he…
  • Here's an explanation of the baptism of the thief on the right as I heard it once from a priest. In the act of baptism we are emmersed in water and taken out again to be burried with the Lord and be risen once again. This is what happened with the …
  • I'm sorry, Orthodox11, but that doesn't make any sense. We don't need "proof" that Our Lady had a Divine pregnancy without a seed. ArchAngel Gabriel telling her so is enough for us to believe, don't you think? Besides, like you said, those pains wh…

  • Nice to meet you, everyone. :)
  • [quote author=why link=board=11;threadid=4112;start=15#msg57450 date=1152436016] ok i have a question related to this..seeing that St. Mary was a human..how come she had not to bear the sin of Humans..where when Eve ate from the Tree, a consequence …
  • WMA, I may have something to add regarding the Hell subject. I think your problem stems from the fact that you believe you know what God will do to those good people who just happen to be not baptized. Well, what you know about that is what is fai…
  • Believer, I may have something to add. Think of your regular relationship with fellow human beings. Imagine that you have just made a new friend on a trip or something. You exchange phone numbers in order to get back in touch. First of all, if yo…
