Dude, OF COURSE you can start a new relationship with God!!! The Church and Jesus's message itself are BUILT upon the idea of God's sympathy for our weakness. We have all done stupid things, but Jesus Himself said: "He who comes to me I will by n…

Hi Ashamed, You are definitely not alone. I've felt EXACTLY the same many many times. Very, very fearful that the last mistake I made would be the end of me, that God could not possibly forgive me because I have done the SAME sin again and again an…

[quote author=taeboutsthat2 link=topic=7455.msg101488#msg101488 date=1238660350] the bible states that his people will be in bondage and will be takin from there home land in chains and would never return and be sold to edom (the white man). So thi…

I agree with ophadece, professionals know what they are doing and are the best people to go to for help. Whatever you do though do it quickly, its best not to take chances with things like this. I reckon the first chance you get call a psychiatrist …

Thanks for clearing that up :)

I've heard that the main obstacle that stands in the way of unifying the EO an OO is now the monks of Mt. Athos, the theological centre of the Greek Orthodox Chruch. The Agreed Statements pretty much showed that unification is very possible but at …

[quote author=EpNomos EnTaio link=topic=7713.msg101138#msg101138 date=1237526037] All, the "A" before Isous is not a past-tense marker, nor would it be even if it were before the actual verb, which already has a tense-marker of its own. The "A" is…

Hmm...its funny cos at my church we sing it without the 'A' at the beginning or the 'Af' before the verb. If you translate it that way its really saying: Jesus Christ fast for us for forty days and forty nights As though it were a request, we are …

Wait wait wait, the term 'Jewish' refers to religion AND A RACE. If you look it up its classified as an 'ethnoreligious' term, meaning both a religious and ethnic designation. Central to the Jewish religion is the Israelite (or Hebrew) people, the L…

I can't believe Romans only got mentioned once! The whole letter is incredible, I get chills every time I read it and I always notice something I didn't the first time. "For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man some…

Btw while people are talking about HICS' Liturgy, I noticed that some of the Litanies (I think the litany for the sick and a few others) have a massive drop in sound quality and priest wo prays it doesn't sound like Abouna Matthias. Is it just my c…

[quote author=coptmorous link=topic=7455.msg98552#msg98552 date=1229637183] To be honest, I do not think that He would have a nationality since He is not of the world. Yes, I believe that He's human, yet nationality is of no importance or relevance.…

You know, as much as I hate saying this, sometimes the ends justify the means. Not always, but sometimes it becomes necessary to do a small evil to do a greater good. I'm not saying abortion is a small evil, its not, but if we don't stop fighting wi…

[quote author=Godislove260 link=topic=7414.msg98401#msg98401 date=1229425508] While in the Bible it clearly states that God took dust from the earth and breathed in it, this is inconsistent with the evolution theory. For even if animals and birds ca…

[quote author=John_S2000 link=topic=7414.msg98453#msg98453 date=1229466744] Nature can do nothing by itself. Yes God uses nature as a tool but this is so after all creation has been created by Him. Amazingly (to current human logic) God tells us He …

I can't see how that could be wrong in any context to be honest, we have beautiful, ancient traditions, why wouldn't we share them?

[quote author=coptmorous link=topic=7414.msg98217#msg98217 date=1229045943] So essentially, the idea of evolution is proven in the book of Genesis, but Darwin's theory is incorrect both scientifically and Biblically? [/quote] I would be careful usi…

[quote author=danny_iki link=topic=7414.msg98235#msg98235 date=1229056064] See the contradiction? Death didn't come about through sin but simply because natural selection needs to kill off some species. [/quote] I have to disagree there. The wages …
