  • Don't forget that God is our Father and we are His children. It's impossible for the children to comprehend the Father's will, but out of love, we should follow it and every action we make here on earth should reflect that love for our creator. Our …
  • Thanks for the help Christ4Life, GBU :) But, does anybody have an answer to my first question? Pray for me
  • Just to briefly answer your question... to my knowledge (correct me if I'm mistaken) God treated the people in the Old Testament the only way they could hear. Imagine all of humanity as a single person, when that person is born the parent (God) is…
  • I don't see how you could apply that kind of arguement to a person who uses a terminally ill baby as his example; how's the baby going to benefit from dying; in what way is he/she going to get closer to God?
  • Do you guys have any ideas about how to explain this to a non-believer, someone who perhaps was driven away from their beliefs by this very question? To be honest, I often find myself struggling in my head, debating both sides and getting nowhere an…
  • Hey Christ4Life, if it's at all possible, could you please elaborate on what faults have been found with his teachings. Just a little a curious, thanks. God Bless
  • Thanks for the responses Iqbal and Gmankbadi, they really cleared things up. So to summarize what you two said (for the befit of all the others interested in this topic) : At the time when Satan and his angels fell, the Lord our God was giving a t…
  • Pete, I think we've already established that (as you said) although the Catholic Church does not outrightly give the title of "coredemptrix" to the Holy Virgin, they do acknoweldge it as an applicable title, (why they do it has already been stated a…
  • This might be going a bit off topic but how is that angels, who are only spirits, could procreate with the "daughters of men?" And what exactly would be the result of it? By the way, Thanks for the answer to my last question Iqbal.
  • Some of the early Fathers in attempting to explain why Satan and his demons would choose to leave the glory of God, explained that the Angels during that period had not experienced the full glory and beauty of heaven, and hence they did not truly kn…
  • Doit4Jesus, I'm sorry to disagree, but I'm almost sure that the Catholic Church does give the title of "coredeemer" to St. Mary in the sense that her obediance to the will of God allowed for the Logos to take flesh (well at least, that is their exc…
  • In my opinion, it's not that they worship the Holy Theotokos more than God, but that they put her on a level that is almost equal to God, which is wrong on so many levels. (i.e. they sometimes call her the "coredeemer/coredemptrix" which is absolute…
  • You have to take great care in these situations because there is a difference between the sinner who commits his sin out of weakness, and the sinner who commits his sin out of enjoyment. I believe that in the verse WMA posted, the Lord is speaking o…
  • You're in my prayers as well, just carry a pentinent heart to confession and leave the rest to God. Have Faith.
  • Guys, all this talk is in generalizations when the truth is that the circumstances should not be the deciding factor when it comes to the choice of having kids (or how many kids to have.) Whether you have 1 or 100; in Egypt or the US, it shouldn''t …
  • That last one was really beautiful. Thanks a lot and please keep them coming, these are all very good.
  • Expedia.com , I think is pretty good because you get to choose just about everything from a pretty wide variety.
  • It's basically the same deal with monks though isn't it. Didn't the Pope say that he'll only accept people who have degrees as applicants for the monastic life. His Holiness, I believe, just doesn't want people to become monks or nuns just because t…
  • Bespetna, I can relate to how you feel, but the thing is, you can't make such generalizations. You say all these bad things about the USA and I agree with them, you're absolutely right, but, somebody else could say even more bad things about Egypt. …
  • I can see what you're saying Matt88, but I really can't agree (and I know that I'm probably wrong statistically, but please just indulge me, lol.) From what I've read and what I've seen, people are having less babies around the world, especially Eu…
  • My #1 goal is and will always be to grow spiritually, to reach a point in my life where I not only avoid sin, but hate it because of how it takes me away from my Lord (and the amazing thing with our religion is that there is no limit to spiritual gr…

  • That was really a very beautiful story, thanks for sharing it. God Bless+
  • The thing you have to realize is that God's will, unfortunately, is not always done, if it was, we'd still be in Paradise and sinless right...lol. In the Lord's prayer, we ask God "Thy will be done" and we say this out of faith that God's will is th…
    in GODS WILL ? Comment by Luke90 April 2006
  • You're right, please forgive me... but remember, loving one's enemy is only possible through the Lord God, so please pray that God grant me and all of us this ability.
  • THAT'S AMAZING, I've never looked at it that way. Gmankbadi, I can't even begin to tell you how many conversations I've had on topics of this nature and relating and I truly never thought of going about the arguement in your manner. God Bless You, a…

  • I think you're right Mazza, nowadays we are not seeing what a religion should be. All we see is the misconstrued image presented to us by the misguided actions of radicals (radicals in all religions, Islam, Christianity, Judaism, etc.) It's a true…

  • Rina, the way I see it is like this... you can't stop people from using your name right? Pretend you had a credit card stolen and the person who stole it used it to buy some shameful things in some sinful places; unfortunately, anybody who sees the …

  • No, the Russian Orthodox Church isn't Oriental Orthodox, they're Eastern Orthodox, but still, they're closer to us then Catholics or Protestants right.
  • I agree with PrincessMary, some things just can't be comprehended or understood because they are so irrational. I suppose in a sense, that is why we sin because if you think about it, if we could literally see and understand the consequences of our …
