Our Lord was an Immigrant and Refugee. Egypt harbored Him. This was a special case and scenario.
I often remember the Jewish adage: "Watch what you ask for, you may get it." This statement has so many meanings. I would think it summarizes ever…
Jerold,
Bishop Suriel of the Coptic Orthodox Church in Australia has organized a mission church in the Fiji Islands. You may want to make contact with him relative to the Phillipians.
If you notice in all of the Chants and hymns of the Coptic Orthodox Church, you will find the glorious sounding ones are for the Lord, and the really "cool" sounding ones are for the Holy Mother of God. It is almost like a whimsical serenade of a v…
Most important thing: teach them how to make the Sign of the Cross well, and all of its meanings. It is their first and greatest weapon in time of need.
I also know it cannot be near because I received my property tax bill. The government never lets anything happen until they suck your blood for the taxes at hand.
greg,
It is inferred because the Archangel can plainly see that he [Zachariah] is old. The fact that Zachariah stated this obvious observation to him [Gabriel the Archangel] was to identify gest and sarcasm at the Archangel's holy words.
I actually, at one point, was passing a rumor that I knew when the Second Coming was going to take place. Some actually believed me, and others wanted to argue with me. Some people take me to seriously when I am having a bout of dry humor.
Now, putting aside the serious, so I can get back to my obnoxious funny self, do the GPS systems have a choice for an American voice? Do you get choices of areas: Southern, Brooklyn, ghetto, etc.?
In the United States systems, we get a choice of …
I believe Sasi is serious.
It was I that was being funny.
The Scriptures are very explicit, 'we will be judged for every word'.
The offense would not be at the GPS, but rather an iniquity...for having used our mouth to speak profanity.
I believe there is inference as to intonation of the words. Ultimately, the Virgin Mary declares herself as a 'handmaid of the Lord' and that 'let it be done to me as you say'. She shows acceptance. Zacharias showed doubt and even sarcasm.
I think the be best one was in 1992 when a Korean group was heralding all over the world that the end was near. How about the movie 2012? Two years to go. How about the Mayan Calendar?
...'Watch for you know not the day or time when the Son of M…
I went with the hardcover in the event someone bothers me while I am reading, I can cause more damage to the person if I throw a hardcovered book at them.
I'm going on line tonight to order. I didn't know that Fr. Peter had a book. I will order both and write scathing reviews.
I think I have to learn how to read first.
Hez,
I am truly humbled by your remarks and experience. At one time in my life, there was a desperate situation for which I offered a fast for seven months, and God was merciful.
For many who are calling for a decrease in the fasting seasons, I…
Geo,
I think Obama has done plenty of stupid things in his presidency. Although this is stupid, I think he has done even more stupid things. We should have a poll started to rate them.
