  • [quote author=mtm link=board=1;threadid=410;start=30#msg6131 date=1089173804] lol i'm just curious....whats the difference between a best friend and a second best friend? [/quote] It's just a matter of degree, I guess. But if your best friend is …
  • I'm gonna test this locking feature. Wish me luck, friends! :) *click*
  • Can't tell you what the Coptic position is, but Christianity in general forbids it. The crime is almost spiritual in nature, because the intent of the harm goes beyond the mere physical.

  • I think wouldn't be all that good to have anyone as a best friend other than your spouse, no matter the gender. I've never been married, but the way I see it, the human being that you marry is the human being you should be closest to. Now if you…
  • I usually don't doll myself up. It makes me look like a cheap floozy, so I avoid such things.
  • [quote author=Paulh link=board=1;threadid=421;start=0#msg5981 date=1089083205] The word "defile" is not defined by the amount of pain you feel when you do something. Leviticus 19:28 You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor t…
  • [quote author=Epsaltos Michael link=board=1;threadid=421;start=0#msg5980 date=1089081611] Nettled Crown, looking "good" is not the only reason, Circumcision prevents mold and bacteria growing wich affects the male system and sometimes causes his ski…
  • [quote author=Epsaltos Michael link=board=1;threadid=421;start=0#msg5977 date=1089080548] Circumcision has a benefit, piercing and tatooing does NOT! Mike [/quote] Sure they have a "benefit", in that they look "good" to a lot of people. They're…
  • [quote author=Paulh link=board=1;threadid=421;start=0#msg5971 date=1089079366] [quote author=Michael_Thoma link=board=1;threadid=421;start=0#msg5969 date=1089077104] according to this view, Abraham defiled himself by circumcision, and so did all the…
  • Some times sin can occur even if you don't mean a particular result. Extreme carelessness can be a sin as well, particularly if such carelessness rises to the level of moral indifference to human life. One example that comes to mind is illegal str…
  • [quote author=Marys link=board=1;threadid=202;start=45#msg5879 date=1088910829] 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 im…
  • Actually Marys, certain provisions of the Bible are clearly outdated. If you had gone back to the chapters referred to in this thread, then you'd see that much of content refers to the handling of slaves. Since slavery is outdated, how can those v…
  • Michael, I take it that you went back and read the chapters of those verses. They demonstrate exactly what you seem to be getting at, which is that the ancient Hebrews were trying to distinguish themselves from their former pagan masters by shunnin…
  • Oops...too late. :(
  • I just looked up the verses that egyptsangel16 cited. When read in context of the chapters from which they came, they clearly show themselves to be rules of custom. I seriously doubt that they apply anymore, at least not as written. I encourage a…
  • Michael, I'm gonna post that story on Islam.com.
  • I think that the taboos against tatoos and piecing are cultural. As long as it's not excessive to the point of self-inflicted abuse, I don't see a moral problem with that stuff. I suppose it's not natural, but then, neither is driving around in a …
  • I don't know about anyone else, but I would never want to wear tight pink leather shorts. It's not appropriate for guys like me.
  • My best friend is a woman. I met her my freshman year in college because she lived on my dorm floor. We remain friends even after she became engaged. I also consider her younger sister a friend. There has never been an attraction problem between…
  • LOL! Well if you believe that you're too fanatical, then you're welcome to join us. Our doors are always open to Coptics.
  • If you tell us the reasons he wants to convert, then someone might be able to help him.
  • Well Paulh, the only reason I can think of for omission of the topic of aliens from the Bible is that it might be irrelevant to the Message. I don't know how the existence of aliens (or lack thereof) would affect how we should conduct ourselves fro…
  • I thought Andromeda is the spiral while the Milky Way is the saucer. Or did I get that backwards? God bless!
  • [quote author=Mark423 link=board=1;threadid=372;start=15#msg5267 date=1088395671] lol I don’t want to bore you with a physics explanation, however, we can prove that the earth revolves around the sun… Trust me on this one; we DO live in a heliocent…
  • I certainly hope so, my brother. May we all learn to express love to our neighbor as demonstrated by those eloquent words on that website.
  • But the question is, would aliens know how to express love as we do? Otherwise, how can they receive the Word of God? http://www.ebaumsworld.com/sayit.html
  • Satan and his fellow fallen angels are not from this world. So when the apocalypse comes, it will be an alien invasion. Kinda like "Independence Day" I think.
  • Well, I'm from my mom but I don't think that we're married. God bless!
