    Good answer, Menno... You are not as dumb as I look... (But who COULD be?). :):) So what does the Bible record of what the Apostles and disciples of the Lord DID with the images of Christ which they retained in their memories? Arsenios

    That answer is what is wrong with western theology It begins with a perfectly true statement that qualifies as useless information... Like how much runway is behind the plane taking off and can he take off or should he shut down? Useless information... And then it draws a "theological...

    What then does it mean to be created in the Image [EIKON] of God? Was Christ visible? Are we to icon Christ in our lives? Do Biblical words create images in your mind? Arsenios

    What is DISCIPLING?

    Thanks for the 1800 years... But if the "addition of stuff" is as you say, then how is it so uniform across your 1800 years? And in Ethiopia, which disappeared to the West for a thousand years, the Services and Doctrines are the same... You see, Apostolic Churches do not change and are...

    PERFECT LOVE

    Well, the politics of hate we see so rampantly running across American politics is but the result of the failure of the Christianity from which it sprouted forth... And it goes, of course, far deeper... But hypocritical judgementalism outside the Church then takes over in the secular arena of...

    Can demons be saved if they repent?

    So rape and murder of a child is no different than saying a cuss word when you stub your toe??? That's the strongest argument in favor of works salvation I have ever seen then... But I don't buy it - God saves man, man does not save himself by works... You sound like someone who has also...

    Can demons be saved if they repent?

    I ran across a theologoumenon that asserted that demons could repent until Christ's Resurrection, and that now it is no longer possible... I did not study it, so cannot give you more... Arsenios

    Can demons be saved if they repent?

    I forward the case for repentance and get accused of denying Salvation for unrepented sins? You can easily experience the departure of the Holy Spirit by deliberately embracing your sin (you know the one) and not repenting of it... You can NOT SO EASILY regain the Holy Spirit by then repenting...

    concupiscentia

    So did our sins kill Jesus when He was being crucified on the Cross? The question is: "What killed Jesus on the Cross?" It is not: "Why Did Jesus die on the Cross?" The result of the Fall is that man in Adam is born FALLEN, under the rulership of Death in a fallen Kosmos, in which he will...

    concupiscentia

    Could be... Here is what Josiah wrote: So he is conflating "because of" with "for" as a start, and seems to be saying that it is OUR sins that killed Him... eg from his Scriptural quotes: Because he became sin for us, He died - eg He died from our sins... Imprecision in language... First...

    What is DISCIPLING?

    Well, the Protestant Churches all have widely varying services, and endless conflicting understandings of Doctrine... Apostolic Churches have close congruence of Worship Services and Doctrine... And have had them for 2000 years... If they all just made them up from the Bible as Protestants...

    As saying what? I never said anything you said above... Christ died in the flesh voluntarily... You said He was killed by the weight of all our sins... Arsenios
