Well seeing (as lostegprincess mentioned) they mostly originated from the Bible itself, they originated in Hebrew.. from there it was translated along with the Bible into all the languages known today with coptic coming in around the 3rd or 4th cent…

we always mistake God's Omnipotence with His Power.. just because He knows all doesn't mean we are not deciding factors in how it plays out.. His will for us is that we become His children and behave like it... our "fate" or where we end up rather i…

There is just one thing i wanna note.. God isn't punishing you.. they just happen to be the consequences of your actions.. a cause and effect type of thing... just had to throw that in..

ok.. that's my point exactly.. when Christ was beaten.. He had every right and authority to destroy them with just the whisper of His mind.. but He didn't. He only questioned them and made them reflect on themselves in almost a manner of teaching an…

quick verse.. "But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife. And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient, in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps wi…

mistakes in their teachings as opposed mistakes in their living.. it's one thing to sin and to repent.. it's another thing to teach wrongly..

no.. since it doesn't edify.. all that means is that it doesn't build up.. meaning that it wastes ur time.. and time is precious cuz u don't know how long you have on this earth.

i believe the church considers him a just a "scholar" rather than a "church father"... the difference lies in the fact that we don't agree with everything he says.. but some of what he says is quite applicable to our faith... but to be considered a …

quick verse.. "He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. " Matthew 10:37 .. it's a matter of self-denial just as in the verse you mentioned. All must be forsake…

uh.. thanks tony! :P ;D

that's exactly my point.. we shouldn't be focusing on the corporal sense of life.. your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, however, and in order to portray the true image if Christ we must carry that body without blemish... i'm not advocating conf…

But since their pagan masters don't exist anymore, and since most of us probably aren't ancient Hebrews (just a guess, of course), that's why I don't think those verses apply to us as written. ...be careful with that because the Bible is never outda…

quick verse... "You put my feet in the stocks, And watch closely all my paths. You set a limit for the soles of my feet." Job 13:27 He "withheld" us in the sense that He only gave us as much as we could handle... i think there's another thread on t…
