[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Okay, just so we're on the same page here, let's define a paradox: A paradox is an apparently true statement or group of statements that leads to a contradiction or a situation which defies intuition. Typicall…
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] How can that statement be true if it states that there is no Truth? It breaks down, because if there is one truth, then that statement becomes false. One Truth != No Truth (for those that don't know, the ! m…
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Let me rephrase that, and tell me if I'm right: what you're suggesting is that, 'if the all encompassing truth was that there is no all encompassing truth, then that is truth'. True or False?
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] [quote author=elepti link=topic=5678.msg75857#msg75857 date=1187795501] There is no Truth But lets say Truth = no Truth [/quote] Care to enlighten me as to how you can equate something with its opposite?
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] I am of the opinion that Islam is an evil religion as well. Any person who takes an honest look at it (historically and spiritually) will see that. However, the fact that Islam does contain elements of Chris…
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] There is no TRUTH eh? Interesting statement, but fundamentally flawed. Why? Because that statement either includes itself or excludes itself. If it includes itself, then that statement is false, meaning th…
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Oh... really? I think you need to practice more.
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Um... no offense, but it seems to me you have a case of SPD (split personality disorder). Why would you post something only to contradict it later on?
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] I guess you could say that, while elements of Truth can be found in other faiths, the fullness of Truth can only be found in Christianity. As for people of other faiths, you should love and respect them becau…
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] As far as I know, Origen was never a priest. He was a great teacher at the School of Alexandria. However, he was never a priest (in Alexandria that is). The reason (well, one of them anyway) he was excommun…
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] [quote author=QT_PA_2T link=topic=5649.msg75732#msg75732 date=1187624254] Knfoc... All i can tell u is it made sense at time of publishing. I mean... please focus on the positive aspects of the post and no…
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] I think you misunderstood me. The verse talks about what living people did (cutting and tattooing) in remembrance of the dead and/or some other pagan ritual(s). Thus, the reason God forbade the Israelites fr…
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] The thing is, you are coming to a conclusion based on what a person is wearing. And yet, you say that it doesn't matter what a person wears anyway; they may be a good person on the inside. If clothing didn't…
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] So basically, you are doing the very thing you hate others doing. Or am I missing something?
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Habibi, I need you to do me a huge favour -- reconcile these two statements of yours for me: I hate it because the thought of someone being judged or even misjudged because of the clothes she/he wears is awfu…
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] To be honest, I have never heard a guy referred to as a 'tramp' as a result of the clothes he is wearing. In fact, when it comes to clothing (among other things), I believe there is a blatant double standard …
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] That's the problem with just posting Bible verses. They can be used to prove just about anything. One thing we often forget is that we must look at the context surrounding a particular verse, not just in the…
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] St. John of Damascus is so the man! I couldn't help but chuckle as I read that chapter.
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Mina, Yeah, sorry about that. I just hadn't considered those two verses that Matt posted. They had completely slipped my mind, and all I had been thinking about was the verse from Hebrews.
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Matt, As always, fantastic post. You raise some very very good points. I've given it a bit of thought and this is the only conclusion I have been able to come up with. Man must die (physically). There is …
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] I'm sure Tobit as well as the other Hebrews in the later generations, were able to pick up on the subtleties between the name used and it's meaning. We often find such word play existing in the scripture and …
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Isalm was developed by an excommunicated monk I've heard about this, but I sometimes question the validity of it. I've never read anything about it. Do you happen to know of any books that discuss this?
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Well if we take a look at Hebrews 9:27-28: 27. And just as it is appointed for mortals to die once, and after that the judgment, 28. so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will ap…
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] [quote author=minagir link=topic=5661.msg75561#msg75561 date=1187268804] but i don't think we got to a final answer. the way i think of it, supporting what u said in the other post, sinsse they are still in th…
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] I would recommend you continue to do what you have been doing, that is, do not reciprocate her feelings. You have no reason to feel guilty. You are not attracted to her, and that is not a crime. Try to give…
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Mina, Check out the Elijah and Anok thread. It was discussed there before.
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Thank you very much.
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Could you point me to a source regarding the tradition of the 'pre-mortem' (if such a word exists) assumption of St. John the Evangelist. This is the first time I've heard of it.
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] I think you need to understand the context of the verse. Sins (all sins) are not lawful to us. That, I think, is clear, and we all agree that murder is a sin. What that verse is referring to is certain Jewi…
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] We all believe that Christ is the son of God who died for us all on the wood of the Holy Cross and through Him and only Him can we obtain salvation; I'm sorry, but belief in Christ alone is not grounds for clas…
