  • [quote author=qawe link=topic=13470.msg157354#msg157354 date=1341448474] The cd may have PDF s on it [/quote] I thought of this but for some reason it didn't have any info of the format in the description. Too big of a risk to purchase.
  • [quote author=Father Peter link=topic=13470.msg157341#msg157341 date=1341385262] Are there particular parts of the Bible you are studying? [/quote] Well I have just started studying Theology at Uni, so I really need a cover to cover commentary. Un…
  • [quote author=caji link=topic=13470.msg157337#msg157337 date=1341380752] The Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture Series is definitely the best for your needs. It goes verse by verse with quotes from several of the early Church Fathers. The for…
  • does he go verse by verse? I'm actually on the hunt for a real extensive cover to cover commentary. The best ones of this nature I have come across have all been by Calvin theologians, so I would hate to be forced to use them, even as a reference. …
  • Im sorry that you object to the music, it is a song I wrote for the video. Luke.
  • There is absolutely differences and degrees of sin, and I think if we look at hell as self imposed (I.e. Creatures cast themselves into hell, not God casting a creature into hell) then it is absolutely fact. For example; If a rich mans pride has de…
  • [quote author=Andrew link=topic=12558.msg147473#msg147473 date=1321239644] I can agree with that to a certain extent, Luke. However, we need to keep in mind that others will hear our words and unlike our Lord they can't tell our intentions. [/quot…
  • I think what it comes down to is "intent to offend." If you use Gods name with the intention to offend the Lord himself -  it is without a doubt "in vain", and no doubt a lot worse (the sin would vary from instance to instance). Or, if you use his …
  • [quote author=Κηφᾶς link=topic=12490.msg147040#msg147040 date=1320330974] + Irini nem ehmot, [quote author=Coptic Soldier link=topic=12490.msg147032#msg147032 date=1320297715] Written by C.S. Lewis which is the perfect answer to your question. It i…
  • [quote author=+Marmar+ link=topic=12528.msg147033#msg147033 date=1320318671] Thank you guys, pray for us and all the Christians and non-believers. [quote author=Coptic Soldier link=topic=12528.msg147030#msg147030 date=1320295737] However, please b…
  • Written by C.S. Lewis which is the perfect answer to your question. It is, I think the true orthodox view on alcohol. "It is a mistake to think that Christians ought all to be teetotallers; Mohammedanism, not Christianity, is the teetotal religio…
  • This topic does my head in as I trully feel the outcome either way is of no consequence. However, please be aware that christianity does not refute evolution. I.e. you can believe in evolution and still be a true christian, many do.
  • [quote author=Andrew link=topic=12518.msg146908#msg146908 date=1320124396] What leads one to get a tattoo cannot be purely spiritual. [/quote] But it might be in some cases? :) [quote author=Andrew link=topic=12518.msg146908#msg146908 date=1320124…
  • [quote author=Remnkemi link=topic=12518.msg146907#msg146907 date=1320123729] [quote author=Andrew link=topic=12518.msg146899#msg146899 date=1320114670] Why does the athlete need to tattoo the rings on themselves? How does that show God thanks? Would…
  • First up I feel like my question hasn’t been answered, and it is VITAL to discussing this further so we can understand where everyone sits on the topic. [quote author=Coptic Soldier link=topic=12518.msg146865#msg146865 date=1320057594] Either tatto…
  • [quote author=Andrew link=topic=12518.msg146864#msg146864 date=1320056160] You point to the example of Copts with small cross tattoos on their wrists. This counter-factual doesn't do it for me. It seems that you have left context aside. The people o…

  • [quote author=Andrew link=topic=12518.msg146855#msg146855 date=1320036297] but the fact that he has tats, etc. means that he isn't close to God. This is under the assumption that after getting them he still believes they are OK and that his purple h…
