[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] ::) oh brother. I can't believe this guy is getting any press at all. But then again, it is Fox news. I wonder if Jeraldo will cover it.

[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] In an ideal world, this may happen, but then, in an ideal world, there would be no Islam. I do not see an Islamic country ever giving back a former church turned mosque ever, no matter what.

[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] but I am just trying to follow our church's dogma If you could point out specifically where it says, in the church's dogma, that women cannot sing alongside men the hymns of the church, I would greatly appreciate that. And pl…

[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] Sometimes it is very difficult to work on yourself, which is why I initially suggested that you uninstall MSN completely from your computer. Then, work on doing your best not to re-install it. I think that will be an easier…
-
[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] Well, you could always sell your computer. :D And no, it's not a sin.
-
[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] I honestly don't see what the problem is. Women have just as much right to praise God in church as men, and I don't see why they can't. A mic is an instrument developed to help carry sound, and I know that it can definitely…

[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] Thank you all for you prayers. They were extremely helpful, and my talk went very well thank God. Kerestina, In response to your question, I'm in my first year of Graduate School. I am pursuing a Masters' Degree in Medi…

[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] Have you considered uninstalling it from your computer? That would certainly prevent you from using it at home.
-
[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] Why did God choose this man to his a priest? No one can answer that. God chooses whomever He wishes to serve Him. I thought that only Abraham and his descendants at that time knew God. Not true. There were almost certainly …
-
[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] Hello everyone, Instead of starting a new thread, I figured I'd hijack this one. ;D Anyway, tomorrow I will be giving a 20 minute talk on my research. Now, I despise public speaking, but God has seen fit to have me do it.…
-
[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] You're right. I just looked it up. As you say, Mary was from the Tribe of Judah. Elizabeth was a daughter of Aaron (see Luke 1:5), making her of the Levite Tribe I guess. My bad. ;D
-
[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] Are you sure they were from different tribes? Zachariah was a Levite, that's certain, because he was a priest. But we don't know from what tribe Elizabeth is from. Because she and Mary were relatives, it is possible they w…

[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] I think the link you set up is not working right. You can get the book you are linking to (I assume) here. It's the third one down.
-
[coptic]+ Pi `[/coptic] A good bible commentary and concordance can come in handy as well. I know the most common commentary used is the Matthew Henry Commentary.
-
[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] 'The Fall' is what is commonly known as when Adam and Eve ate the fruit and were expelled from the Garden of Eden. They had a 'fall from grace' if you will. They sinned and were cast from the presence of God. Anyway, you a…
-
[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] Nothing 'happens' if you don't have ostrich eggs. Your church just doesn't have them. Don't worry, it's not like it's the end of the world or anything.
-
[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] Vassilios, I sympathize, I really do, because I am in the exact same position as you. But here are some verses to comfort you and remind you that nothing is petty in God's eyes. 25. "For this reason I say to you, do not …

[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] [quote author=vassilios link=topic=5216.msg69876#msg69876 date=1176753477] What about asking God for signs? [/quote] He gives signs. What we should ask for is to see the signs He gives us.
-
[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] Well, while it's true that everyone has a relationship with God, not all relationships are the same or have the same depth. Take St. Antony of Moses for example. These are men who were able to speak directly with God, and G…
-
[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] It is the same St. Antony. St. Antony the Great and his disciple St. Paul of Tammoah (I believe that is how it is spelled).

[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] [quote author=Hizz_chiilld link=topic=5213.msg69836#msg69836 date=1176734683] I attend a Christian school and it it compulsory for me to do a 'Studies of Religion' Course. I was actually looking forward to this subject, that …
-
[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] Well, if you don't doubt the power of prayer, then you shouldn't doubt that your prayers will be answered and that the person will change (assuming you are praying for the improvement of the person). If you doubt that someth…
-
[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] In a word: Time. It is a part of our spiritual growth. The first step it to start actually praying. As we grow spiritually, our prayers take on a greater depth (instead of just vain repetition) and we begin to trust and kn…

[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] Dear John, Thank you very much for the references. As always, very insightful post.

-
[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] I was just thinking, Mary being overshadowed by the Holy Spirit and 'cleansed' could probably be thought of as her baptism. The same sort of thing happens to us when we are baptized. The 'stain' of sin is washed away.
-
[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] Matt, In response to your first question, I believe Christ possessed the post-fallen nature (because that is the nature that was in need of redemption). I think St. Athanasius discusses it in On the Incarnation. I read it …
-
[coptic]+ Pi`[/coptic] Firstly, I think it was to illustrate His humility and obedience. But more importantly, I think it was to show us by example that baptism is necessary for salvation.
