Sanctification is the Universal concept. It is a word that is catholic (unlike Theosis), orthodox and Apostolic (only few Theologians used it, and I think they were post-Nicene). I do not think we should cause more needless confusion. I asked my par…

What ever the case is, I think we should refrain from using the word "Theosis", and use the word "Sanctification". Merely because it already embodies the concept of Theosis, and it avoids error. Another thing is that Theosis is not a word that is in…

Dude, you have to have confidence in His will!

Seventh-day adventists. They are premillenniumn-ists. I am open to some theology/hermeneutics from Catholics, Lutherans and Anglicans sometimes, but they are overtly Legalists-Judiazers (but so is some of our clergy). They are Zionists (and I see so…

I have read some SDA prophecy rubbish, and I hope that we do not follow the same tract. Let us discern the signs- but not try to pretend to know who is who, what is what, and how it is going to go in place.

Maybe the priest would be "hurt" because he is human, but he knows he shouldn't. So be kind *if* he shows remorse, and explain the situation- and say something like "sorry, but I needed to confess while you were away, and he is tracking my spiritual…

Sorry; I edited my post while you were writing yours. :)

It is the number of the beast; not the anti-Christ. It is worthy to note, some texts say 616. In the Bible, the number of six stands for imperfection; seven for perfection, fullness, completion; eight for eschatological perfection, a superabunda…

Christianity is in contradistinction to the mantra of this world, by saying we should live each day as our last. If the world believed that they would say, "eat, and be merry, for tomorrow we die". Instead, Christianity uses this teaching to instil …

Marriage simply is not a union. It has a universal character of being an institution in which hinges the possibility of a family. It is the spine of the family unit, in bring upon offspring for society. The problem is that since sexual relations i…

Sinless requires not doing sin. Our inheritance of the distorted image of God; a fallen nature, makes us have predilection to sin- it does not simply cause it. But I have been reading 'City of God' by St. Augustine, and he says this "Therefore if e…

Enjoy the gift of singleness. It is a great time to consolidate your life in Christ. A husband is a priest of the family- a high calling. I would not rush into it unless I was satisfied that you are in a stage in your relationship with God, that you…

Instead of denigrating Islam, let us pray for Muslims, and that we would be a better witness to them, sharing the Gospel of Christ in love. Let us remember that Islam has had some great models of faith and piety, that there had been sincere Muslims,…

Thanks for the elucidation. You must read above ^^.

It is. But most commentary is from common Church fathers. We are too akin, that I think this would be an edification to us also. I have largely relied on a Reformation Study Bible, and I don't think I am the only one.

I think QT's above post would be a fair assessment of the situation. He understands you and what your parents may be thinking at the moment. But as can be inferred by QT, this is just speculation until you have a good chat with your loving parents. …

I think he was converted from a Dualist pseudo-Christian religion by reading the Life of St. Antony by St. Athanasius. So you might want to consider that book too :)

What do the Early Church Fathers say about this? In A.D. 191 St. Clement of Alexandria referred to Onan's evil act in these words: "He broke the law of coitus." (Comments on Genesis 6) He went on to explain that "Because of its divine institu…

Hey guys. The scam artist, as contemptible as he might be in his unscrupulous methods, is probably a poor person trying to make money by trying to manipulate you with what he thinks would appeal to you. Maybe his situation is bad, and thus he feels …

They obey and disobey- randomly... As you guys know, I usually do try to explain my point, but in this case I am very unfamiliar with the topic. But I just not right with the fact animals do not have free will... Can you explain the difference be…

Firstly, in my defence (lol) I had incited that there may be some other reason, but if Onan's removal contraception in Genesis was shunned, then what about all other contraceptive methods? I haven't went through the sermons, sorry, but is there som…
