    All About Faith

    Wrong question, my Brother... The question is WHO, not WHAT... Is it God? That is what most here are arguing... OR.......... Is it YOU? The Greek term for person is HYPOSTASIS - It means literally "That which stands under..." We are created in the Image, the Ikon, of God... That...

    All About Faith

    This states that Salvation is God's Gift, THROUGH the Faith... This says nothing about the acquisition of the Faith... Nothing about God giving the Faith here... To hear means to understand and obey, HEAR??? Nothing about God sousing you with faith... Nothing here about faith being...

    PERFECT LOVE

    Well, I think we can conclude that Judas did not repent well... He decided he did not want the money because innocent blood was spilled for it... The Jews did not care... He threw the money at their feet... Turned and walked out... And hanged himself... NOBODY calls that repentance... I mean...

    PERFECT LOVE

    It was because he sinned grievously and did not repent of his sin... His efforts to undo what he had done by returning the money and killing himself were not repentance... He killed himself because he did not want to face what he had done in contrition of heart... He falsely believed that...

    I don't think that suicide fulfills the "old law"... True repentance is to never commit the same sin again... Arsenios

    Biases, imaginary faults, and sins.

    So what might that look like? Peter gets crucified upside down, and word of his death spreads throughout the Church, first in Rome, of course, and then throughout all Christendom... And then maybe someone says he ran into Christ as he was fleeing from Rome, and came back to be martyred... And...

    Biases, imaginary faults, and sins.

    Well, the same document would seem to have been used to describe his upside-down crucifixion that also cited his encounter with Christ on the road... So perhaps the same document account can be received and not received in parts? Arsenios

    The Greek Orthodox Archdiocese, regarding the Feast of Its. Peter and Paul: https://www.goarch.org/chapel/saints?contentid=103 The divinely-blessed Peter was from Bethsaida of Galilee. He was the son of Jonas and the brother of Andrew the First-called. He was a fisherman by trade, unlearned...

    Biases, imaginary faults, and sins.

    If it can be traced back to pre-Nicea in the Church, I would believe it... But if it were written, say, in 1265 in Latin, not so much, n'est pas? Arsenios

    Biases, imaginary faults, and sins.

    I thought it was legit... Are you saying it is false? It sure would make the fitting outcome for Jesus prophesy for him... I never saw Quo Vadis... Arsenios

    Biases, imaginary faults, and sins.

    Peter was avoiding martyrdom when he ran into Jesus on the road walking towards what Peter was avoiding... He rebuked the Lord with the question: "Lord, why are you going back there?" "To be crucified again, because you are running away..." And Peter turned back towards Rome and was martyred...

    Never work yourself up into hatred of Islam... I never studied the stats... Sounds very anthropological... They are fruitful places for martyrdom... Christ sent His sheep out among wolves... Rev 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of...

    ARE YOU CALLED?

    We like to say we are 100% responsible for our own Salvation... And that we provide 000.00% of it... That we earn zero% of it... That it is 100% God's Gift... To those who obey the Gospel... Arsenios

    ARE YOU CALLED?

    Eternal Life means to KNOW the One True God and His Son, Jesus Christ... Are you saying that Eternal Life means to be aware of something as it is happening? And then we have Christ saying: "Depart from Me... I never KNEW you..." FORE-KNOWING by God means, I should hope, more that mere prior...

    Love

    Indeed, one must decide... The Call of God is always answered... To one degree or another... Unto Salvation or Damnation... Unto Life of death... We answer by what we do... And by what we do not do... By what we fail to do... By what we refuse to do... Personally, from death to Life... When...
