    Disciples and Believers

    Well, your slander is misplaced, but consider the following: Joh 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Who were born... of God. How can we be born of God? How can we be reborn of Water and of Spirit...

    Disciples and Believers

    aka "The Mystery of Evil..." In this fallen life, it almost seems that we NEED evil... So far are we from God... Were all evil to be removed from us now... We would not know what to do... The benefit of evil is the need to repent of it... Even Christ was tempted... The forbidden Tree of...

    Women wearing the pants!

    The EOC encourages women to dress as women, and the men as men... We encourage women to cover their hair with scarves... And men to not cover their heads in Church... And we encourage women to wear long dresses and long sleeve blouses... We encourage modest dress in any event... If you want...

    Women wearing the pants!

    You are right - These days of gender identity politics, I would be more concerned about what is being worn UNDER those women's pants! Jes' sayin'!!! :) Arsenios

    Sharing statements on Christian theology

    Wonderful story, Josiah - Thank-you... I would call it the Doctrine of Love and Intercession... God loves His creation, Josiah - The Kosmos... "For in this manner did God Love the Kosmos, that He sent His Only-Begotten Son..." God bless your Mom... Arsenios - Josiah (Okay now...

    Sharing statements on Christian theology

    That is very generous of you, Menno... Freely have you received, so freely have you given! Might we say you are giving what you have received? I mean, if you have already argued it all before... And no longer feel the need to repeat the argument... What in the world are you here for?? Do you...

    PERFECT LOVE

    Perhaps now we might revisit the OP - We are commanded by Christ to Love our Enemies... And we find ourselves only really loving friends and family... Who among us can love the psychopath that is killing our children? Who can love the ISIS team burning people alive? And I seriously doubt that...

    Communion of the Saints

    Well, old Simon the Magician asked a Saint to pray for him in Acts: Act 8:24 Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, And here we have a Saint praying for his children: 2Co 13:7 Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; And again: Php 1:9 And this I pray, that your...

    PERFECT LOVE

    We come from disturbingly similar origins in atheism, Andrew... I will say this: It is easy to mistake God's Call to repentance as Salvation itself... For so Holy is this Call, and so suffused with the Love of God... And in it we can light up in the saturation of the Holy Spirit... Indeed...

    Did Christ die for unsaved sinners or not? Are we to follow Christ or not? Arsenios

    God still chooses.

    This has been one of the hardest points on this forum that I have ever encountered to make... I mean, most here claim to be Bible Christians... There are four Gospels... EACH of the four has Christ's beginning of John's baptism of repentance... That's the Gospel Truth, period... John was even...

    The EOC is insidious that way, so be careful... Talkin' slippery slope here! I mean, one day... Naaaaagh! :) Arsenios

    So then love sacrifices self for unsaved sinners like Christ did for all? John 12:32 Arsenios

    Experiment.

    The EOC understands the person as hypostasis... eg The person does not resolve into component parts... I remember as an atheist in a psychology class where the text read: "Man is a product of his nature and his nurture..." I balked at the term "product"... Turns out Orthodoxy agrees with...

    That is true, and yet it is also an obedience when we do not feel love... It is doing good to someone in need... Arsenios

    PERFECT LOVE

    Indeed, the Body of Christ was first established in Jerusalem, you are right... Paul established that Body in Antioch, where the followers of Christ were first called Christians... Arsenios
