[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] I don't know about you, but for me, the story of Lazarus and the rich man would put the notion of 'soul sleep' to rest (no pun intended). Here is the story: Luke 16:19-31 said:19. "There was a rich man who…

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] I couldn't resist the urge... John, 666 posts my friend. And how fitting that your 666th post should be in a thread dealing with cults. :o Is there something you want to share with us? :D

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Αριψαλιν, I have a question for you. Since you don't seem to have a FoC, do you happen to have any close friends who are at a higher spiritual level (for lack of a better expression)? I mean, while it would…

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] If we focus only on ourselves, then our salvation, to an extent, relies on our ability to forgive those who offend us before they ask for it. It should be unconditional as we say in the Lord's prayer, 'And fo…

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Regarding the notion of different degrees of sin, I had always thought that in the eyes of God, all sins are the same. The wage of all sin is, afterall, death, as Paul teaches us. However, I have just recent…

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Question: Has He helped me? Answer: More then I could possibly deserve.

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] When it comes to being physically attacked by someone, you certainly have the right to defend yourself. There is a time and a place for it though, and discretion is required. Christ taught that if one were t…

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Dear John, Thank you for the warm welcome. I've missed your fantastic insights as well. :)
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Okay. I see exactly what you're saying. I am clearly superimposing my faith in dealing with them, and you are not (and rightly so). You're absolutely correct in your assessment. Thank you for bearing with …

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] [quote author=Doubting Thomas link=topic=5659.msg79943#msg79943 date=1196657340] Thanks Cephas, that brilliantly elucidated my point. I missed you, by the way :P. [/quote] Awww shucks bro. I missed you too. …

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] [quote author=mikeforjesus link=topic=5582.msg79947#msg79947 date=1196665902] But the wife was a pleasure? God said "It is good that man is not alone" so he made eve.. why would He say that? wasn't paradise …

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] You cannot impose the system of 'Survival of the Fittest' when dealing with Atheists, because atheists are not animals. They are not ruled by instinct. ALL man has been created in the image and likeness of G…

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] [quote author=duck link=topic=5904.msg79672#msg79672 date=1196108477] Maybe a refutation of the belief in Religious Pluralism, where it is defined as: "the worldview that one's religion is not the sole and ex…

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Perfection comes about through theosis, which is an eternal process. Thus, a perfect world entails a complete partaking of (not in) the Divine Nature.
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Something you seem to be forgetting is that we humans are 'hybrid' beings. We possess both a spirit and a body. They are intrinsically linked to one another, and while we live on earth, they are not 'separat…

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Christ4Life, You're my hero! :D
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] I wonder how many quotes within quotes within quotes within quotes we can get on here. :D
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] No offense to bigeee, but I'm in agreement with Safaa on this. What is the purpose of starting multiple threads on the same subject? There are already two threads dealing with this subject, and advice has be…
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] [quote author=Doubting Thomas link=topic=5872.msg79208#msg79208 date=1194531933] This is evidence for the contrary, that if one cannot accept the Source of morality, one would be led to question morality and h…
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] The reason moral judgment can still be made (and thus heat can be felt) is because there is that natural law that Paul spoke of. Inherent in all of us is the ability to decipher between good and bad. This ab…

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] [quote author=Doubting Thomas link=topic=5872.msg79199#msg79199 date=1194524750] Dude, you won when you told me your friend read the book, and didn't see the anti-Christian message. [/quote] I didn't realize…

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] [quote author=Doubting Thomas link=topic=5872.msg78987#msg78987 date=1193892211] I almost forgot to comment on this comment. ANDPOC was showing that these suggestions are "subconscious", whilst in schools it i…

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] First off, my humblest apologies for not having responded sooner. I had been a bit preoccupied with other things and didn't have a chance to get around to responding to you. [quote author=Doubting Thomas lin…

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] I have still yet to understand why this is of any concern at all.
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] John, Thank you for sharing this quote with us: Yes, there is only one Church, which is the only road to salvation, and the whole world is indeed, potentially, the Church. The only problem is the human perce…

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Not sure why you created a new thread for this, but if you refer back to your old thread, you will find some (what I believe to be anyway) useful advise. For your convenience, here is the link.
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Before I begin, I would just like to say, you have put forth a very good argument. I shall do my best to continue my role as devil's advocate and provide some counterpoints of my own. [quote author=Doubting …
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] To reiterate what Thomas has said, there is nothing you can do to bring her to God. It is not you who will bring her to God, but God Himself will draw her back to Him. That being said, while it is great to t…

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] [quote author=Doubting Thomas link=topic=5860.msg78938#msg78938 date=1193800816] It is careless to pursue a failed relationship when you haven't fixed the problem that destroyed it in the first place! [/quo…
