anthony, maximus, jeremiah. ever wondered what it would be like to be called habakkuk?

i think the point has been made quite clearly: anything with MODERATION is good for you...unless it's clearly stated that whatever it is ur doing is WRONG in the bible, cause then it's a whole new ball game.
True, and speaking of tribulation...and temptation, i was told something really nice: see it as like...a test! In school, we need to pass tests to make sure we've taken in everything we've learned. If we're never tested, we'll never REALLY know if …
i dunno man...i didnt see why they shouldnt be celebrated like any other month, and neither did my dad...but when he went to double check, he told me that yea...that uncle was right....we dont celebrate it..
well in the case of anchorites, theyre completely different...but monks that actually live in teh desert will go back to A monastery every once in a while to have communion and confess and everything, then they will set off again for a while, until …
THE ROOM
17 year old Brian Moore was asked to write something
about Heaven in school. It was his best essay; it
literally stunned his class. But sadly, it was also
his last.

that still doesnt explain how woman is equal to man...ur saying she is made from man...and how she is the glory of man, and man is teh glory of God. Well why isn't woman also the glory of God directly the way man is?
btw im asking this so i would kn…
jfranklin that's an amazing reply, and i think its really well said, but my question is, doesn't that still make her sound like...complementary to man? like...without him she's nothing? yet...if we look at it in the same way, man is independent of t…

I completely agree with you actually, and i really like the verse!
About the abouna understanding, it's really shocking how understanding they are, u can tell them anything and theyll be ok with it really
umm and about ur comment...
"when i'm watching something bad, i know that should stop and never do it again, and repent and confess, but for some reason i feel powerless, i'm unable to stop. "
well, i was told one day in sunday school that if you wa…
so point being, when i read that....i felt like...so much was being done for me...and that confession is a chance given to me to save myself, so why not take it!
