  • [quote author=Zoxsasi link=topic=10674.msg130929#msg130929 date=1297954830] Thanks Hos Erof... You're a lovely guy. If you look at the story of the Prodigal Son - his brother was complaining and even jealous that he had been a good brother, stayed…
  • [quote author=*Bride of Jesus* link=topic=10738.msg130912#msg130912 date=1297939069] I totally disagree with this protestant thought. ..[/quote] But our LORD didn't give us a specifical date, so don't worry lol! Just be rather always prepared, lik…
  • [quote author=geomike link=topic=10738.msg130896#msg130896 date=1297918065] I don't think that this is believed by many Protestants because I m around protestants all the time and not once did I hear about this [/quote] you are right geomike, but j…
  • [quote author=Marenhos Epchois link=topic=10674.msg130897#msg130897 date=1297921605] "Repentance turns adulterers into virgins" My priest told me once that virginity is not only physical but it is spiritual as well. for example if someone who has n…
  • you would never be able to do this satisfactorily. however, the thought of it, on its own, is alarmingly disturbing!! the name for it is: CONTROL FRICK' you might as well stick with electronic gadgets, you will then be able to read all the softwar…
  • i think god simply overlooked their sins (that is besides the sacrifices the jews had to make) until Jesus paid for their sins on the cross. This is actually stated in the new testament... a leave it for you to find the quote. elijah never died so h…
  • @Hos: you could/should have written your post in bold!!  ;)
  • hahha! i like you remark, dzheremy! ;)
  • [quote author=ilovesaintmark link=topic=10672.msg130121#msg130121 date=1297202479] If you are sure of what you are saying, you will not be nervous. Be sure.  Make the sign of the Cross, and you will be fine. [/quote] can anyone explain why making …
  • the person we consider marring we must first and foremost be in love with. and if we do love that person, we are not only willing to overlook their previous mistakes but love them as they are. selecting someone on the basis of performance is not go…
  • how about someone who is a murderer?? after repentance is he/she still a murderer? how about someone who lied in the past and has repented?.. can we continue to consider him/her a lier after repentance? giving virginity away before marriage is not a…
  • [quote author=jenny link=topic=10738.msg130783#msg130783 date=1297873713] What is our church's view regarding the protestant belief that judgement day will come on this date, may 21, 2011? ..) [/quote] i think your question reveals terrifying leve…
  • @Alkoti: if the extremism in this site makes you want to quit, may i gently remind you that such is life, full of extremes. wherever you go you will find extremes! even our ideal comfort bubble has its own extremes! why would you expect this site to…
  • i am not Father Peter, but i dare say.. loving somebody could be a very deceitful thing! Derrida pointed out well when he said that there are two distinct questions when it comes to love: 'who?' and 'what?' do we love somebody for the person he/she…
  • welcome mariaaaa!! we are not too far from you here in england. if you say your helloooo abit louder, we could perhaps hear you across the water. however, we appreciate having this forum so that you dont have to get a sore throat. ;)
  • so, is it right to consider that it is not possible to actually speak to the departed ones and whenever a visitation occurs an evil spirit is involved?
  • but she says she is a christian, a protestant...
  • [quote author=John_S2000 link=topic=10676.msg130577#msg130577 date=1297534276] It is very disturbing and I agree it's blasphemous, though it's like the reality of the ongoing struggle between good and evil, that satan is fighting very hard against m…
  • not sure why you qualify my question as sarcastic. it isn't!!
  • further more, Jesus Christ is God and He is utterly holly!! no sinful creature can come in his presence without being incinerated by his holiness, apart from the shield of the cross. who can imagine such a thing... epitome of evil hand in hand with …
  • i think its blasphemous!!! why should one give so much honour to the devil as to show him on equal footage with the Creator of the universe??!!! disgusting!!
  • if you don't have your religion marked on id card would not hide your faith as long as you chose to tattoo the orthodox cross on your wrist. persecution against christians does not increase or decrease depending on id card. if you are a christian in…
  • [quote author=geomike15000 link=topic=10691.msg130478#msg130478 date=1297457664] [quote author=Tishori link=topic=10691.msg130463#msg130463 date=1297442222] Congratulations to everyone on Mubarak's resignation!! Think of the consequence of Egypt n…
  • why is marking religion in the id card worse (or less desirable) than voluntarily wearing the cross tattoo on the wrist?... what seems obvious to you doesn't make sense to me.
  • do bear in mind that there is no government in the world which God himself has not ordained, be it military! all authorities are subject to God's sovereign authority. may God have mercy on the sinners of Egypt!
  • i think whoever posted the original question is taking the mick and everyone who replies is taken in, except myself who has at least one eye open! seeking such advise, seriously, on a forum like this is often a very bad sign. on a different note, …
  • [quote author=Ioannes link=topic=10680.msg130239#msg130239 date=1297278744] What is your purpose for being here? [/quote] constructive debates ...if that helps and is appreciated. :)
  • i think democracy (democratic system) has failed badly!! it's just not working! it is indeed most popular (preferred) world view but it has proven to be a failure. this always happens when the law is elevated above the law giver. It is not incidenta…
