[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Responsibility and dominion, in my opinion, go hand in hand. We have been given dominion over the earth, and as such, it is our responsibility to take care of it. It wouldn't make sense that God would give u…

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Paul was a Roman citizen, he wasn't Roman by birth. In all honesty, I am not sure how citizenship was awarded back then and how it is that Paul became a Roman citizen. But it's no different than you or me. …

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Okay, I found the story you are talking about: Acts 16:1-5 said:1. Paul came also to Derbe and to Lystra. And a disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer, but his fathe…

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] I know that the answers to a) and b) aren't as satisfying as you would like, but there are some things that we will not know the answers to. In Genesis, it speaks about how, as a sign of the covenant between …

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] a) Why was this circumcision only for men? God ordered it to be so, and it was. b) Why did it involve the penis? Again, God ordered it to be so. Since there is a medical reason for it, while the intent was s…

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] I think the key is to understand what the purpose of circumcision was in the Old Testament. God required the Jews to be circumcised. Why? It was a way of showing and confirming the covenant God made with Ab…

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] As I understand the saying, it means that if you marry in haste, that is, if you don't take the time to get to know the person beforehand, and are in a rush to get married, then you end up repenting at your le…

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Here is an excerpt from HG Bishop Mattaous' book, 'Sacramental Rites in the Coptic Orthodox Church': Redemptive and Non-Redemptive Sacraments There are four redemptive Sacraments out of the Seven Sacraments. …

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Are you sure that the Unction of the Sick is necessary for Salvation? I was under the impression that, as the name suggests, it was only performed if one were sick (and I assume physically sick).

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Is this fair??? People hear the word of God, and because they didnt decide to become coptic, all of a sudden they are doomed even though they let the Spirit direct their lives and they live by the Word of God??…

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] I agree with what John has posted, yes.

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] In short: yes.

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] [quote author=QT_PA_2T link=topic=734.msg72822#msg72822 date=1182272429] Knfoc, virginity is a spiritual concept as well as a physical state also. Are christians who are virgins , virgins because they want to …
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] It boils down to the individual, because not all people would be able to accept the fact that their future spouse actually slept with another person, regardless of whether they repented or not. Now, let me sp…

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] [quote author=kerestina link=topic=734.msg72802#msg72802 date=1182271133] if ur partner committed adultery and repented and is trying hard to change are u going to hold that agianst them becoz u dont believe w…

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] In the Old Testament, the Holy Spirit was not given as freely as it is now. Back then, whenever a person was anointed by oil (typically by a prophet), then the Holy Spirit would descend upon that person. Thi…
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] No, it is not impossible. People will do things for two reasons. Either they will obey out of love or out of fear. Now, it is possible to follow Christ's commandments without love, it would be done out of f…
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Either you love God and your spouse or you do not. Love is an emotion. There is no getting around that. If you want to worship God without emotion, then you have to do so without love, without fear, without…
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] I disagree with you. Love is by far the most important thing. Perhaps you should review 1 Corinthians 13 to see what the true meaning of love is. If you love someone, then you, by default, respect and admir…
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Lying is a sin, and all sin is against God. Of that, we are in agreement. However, a lie is directed at a person. You lie to someone in order to deceive them. As such, you can differentiate between lying t…
-
[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Not quite. A lie is a sin, that much we can agree on. As you said, the Holy Spirit is the 'Spirit of Truth' and Christ is 'the Way, the Truth and the Life'. So, when we lie, we ignore the Spirit of Truth an…

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] You pose a very interesting question. Here is the story of Ananias and Saphira for reference: Acts 4:33 - 5:11 said: 33. And with great power the apostles were giving testimony to the resurrection of the L…

[coptic]+ Iryny nem `hmot>[/coptic] Speciation, to put it simply, is the development of new species from pre-existing ones.
