    Ever Virgin

    I suspect that Lämmchen, despite my statements to the contrary, might consider that I might have been singling her out in some threads for particular attention. Maybe this will balance the scales. In Post #211 on Page 22, MoreCoffee supplied a number of quotes in response to a Question from...

    Ever Virgin

    I thank MoreCoffee for reposting (posted Post 205 on Page 21) the information he had presented in a former post. I came to this post late, and had not had time to review all 200-odd posts. I’m not sure if the references to Mary’s perpetual virginity given by MoreCoffee constitute a complete set...

    Ever Virgin

    MoreCoffee, Post 189 on Page 19: All the technical manuals pertaining to internal combustion engines that I have seen (don’t ask me to list them), contained the information required and necessary for that purpose. I have yet to see one that contained spiritual guidance. (I think we can exclude...

    Ever Virgin

    MoreCoffee, Post # 185, Page 19: Actually, there are many statements in Scripture which support the perspective that Mary became a normal wife to Joseph after the birth of Jesus, especially Matthew 1:24,25 [[emphasis added]]: “24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord...

    How do Orthodox Christians calculate which day is Good Friday?

    … Continued We have also seen that Jesus Himself consumed wine (fermented grape juice), and that Jews customarily observed Passover by consuming a special wine. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So, when Jesus said, as recorded by Paul in...

    How do Orthodox Christians calculate which day is Good Friday?

    … Continued In reply to bill1231's request in Post #97 on Page 10: I suggest that, in the light of Exodus 12:15 for instance, it becomes clear that Jesus and the disciples were drinking some kind of liquid (termed “fruit of the vine” by Jesus) from which all vestiges of leaven had been...

    How do Orthodox Christians calculate which day is Good Friday?

    In Post #105 on Page 11, Lämmchen said: By that, I hope she really meant something like: Because in Post #104 on Page 11, highlighted by ---------------------------- surrounds, I said: If that is what she indeed meant, that would simply indicate that her choice of words was poor. I would...

    Oh Hell!!!

    In Post #96 on Page 10 regarding Jesus and Hell, psalms 91 stated [emphasis mine]: Is it too much to request that psalms 91 provide Scriptural evidence for that statement?

    Oh Hell!!!

    I penned this before, but forgot to post it. Better late than never. Important principles. MoreCoffee in Post #36 on Page 4, addressing visionary, stated: Here we see the “Jehovah's Witnesses” card played again. I think it only fair to admit that the writings of the Roman Catholic Church...

    The unwritten mysteries of the church.

    And as for (Post #1 on Page 2, emphasis added): I find it difficult to accept teachings introduced into the Roman Catholic Church hundreds of years after, or over a thousand years after, the death of the last apostle, as being beliefs and practices delivered to us "in a mystery" by the...

    Jesus is 100% God and 100% man at the same time

    Lämmchen made an interesting statement in her Post #152 on Page 16: Does anyone know what that statement actually means? It sounds like one of those significant-sounding, superficial statements that politicians and courtroom lawyers issue to draw attention away from evidence and...

    How do Orthodox Christians calculate which day is Good Friday?

    … Continued I reiterate: was Melchizedek tempting Abraham (Abram) to sin when he gave him wine in Genesis 14:18? “Wine” = Strong's H3196 yayin = wine (as fermented). Should we not bear in mind that it was that same yayin that Noah was plied with by his daughters to get him drunk in Genesis...

    How do Orthodox Christians calculate which day is Good Friday?

    … Continued Lämmchen asked (Post #102 on Page 11): I included Lämmchen's statement simply because “Mr Welch” whoever he was, seemed to be of some note in Lämmchen's world (I had not heard of him), and thus the information seemed highly relevant. Lämmchen's mention of him appeared to confirm...

    Jesus is 100% God and 100% man at the same time

    ... Continued From Lämmchen's Post #4 on Page 1: depends on nothing outside of himself for life John 1:4: Of course. Jesus was without sin – He had no sin of His own, and had no inherited Adamic sin. He therefore qualified for ongoing human life on Earth – that special life that would...

    Jesus is 100% God and 100% man at the same time

    ... Continued (I've been overseas. Hence the hiatus in this series of posts – posts analysing the applicability of the scripture references provided by Lämmchen in support of the title of this thread.) As a preliminary aside, let me point out Lämmchen's response to my statements (Post #144...

    The unwritten mysteries of the church.

    If “saint Basil the Great” wrote those words in 379AD as reported by visionary in Post #5 on Page 1, then he wrote at a very interesting time, and probably for a very interesting reason. He was writing between 325AD and 381AD, just before the latter. In 325AD the Council of Nicea (Nicaea) added...

    Jesus is 100% God and 100% man at the same time

    ... Continued In Post #135 on Page 14, Lämmchen offered: It is assumed that the Scripture Lämmchen referred to (at least primarily) was the set of references she presented in Post #4 on Page 1. Those statements of Scripture have been under progressive review. Those reviewed so far have been...

    Name those sins Christ didn't die for

    In Post #206 0n Page 21, Lämmchen said: Maybe Lämmchen has forgotten that it was she herself that commenced the diversion by extracting two verses from Matthew 25:31-46 and employing them out of context. It was merely pointed out thereafter that in Matthew 25:31-46, Jesus reveals a situation...

    In my previous post (Post #96 on Page 10), I offered the following: Once again without any direct or implied criticism, I will point out a couple of things which have been posted (statements that have been made) since. I am doing so in the interest of increased understanding, and in the hope...

    Name those sins Christ didn't die for

    In Post #212 on Page 22, Cassia requested: I thank Romanos for providing the links in Post #218 on Page 22. Unfortunately, I don't know how to create links. With respect to the point I have been making, just in case, I'll log another couple of posts which hopefully will summarise the matter...
