    Should the very rich be taxed at a higher percentage?

    No - They should be publicly and painfully executed and their wealth turned over to politicians who promise to give it all to the poor... Everyone knows that! :) Arsenios

    Sinless Mary

    If the Church is a Hospital - An Inn for the wounded by sin - then the wounds of sin will be found there, being treated: Luk 10:34-35 And He went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an Inn, and took care of him. And...

    Sinless Mary

    It is taught by the Ekklesia of God for some 2000 years now - I mean, we even wrote it down in our Bible for all to see... The Ekklesia - The assembly of the Faithful - Called out from the world unto God - Here and now upon this earth... Indeed the Heavenly Kingdom on earth... The Body of...

    Corruption in high places

    I was premature - Forbes writes: U.S. Net Petroleum Imports Plunging Toward Zero https://www.forbes.com/sites/rrapier/2018/03/21/u-s-net-petroleum-imports-plunging-toward-zero/#6c380c9e27ba So perhaps not quite a net exporter just yet... Sorry for the error... But MC says I might be...

    Sinless Mary

    You wrote that Scripture is the Ground and the Pillar of Truth... I wrote that it is the Church, the Body of Christ... This passage refutes your view and affirms the Church's view that I affirm too... Quid... Erat... Splat!! :) Unless, of course, you do not believe Scripture... Arsenios

    CRISIS IN ORTHODOXY - UKRANIAN AUTOCEPHALOY

    Then you do not know the difference... There are often political implications to Ekklesiastical issues... Which is why the US State Department recruited the EP That does not make Ekklesiastical issues into political posturings... Perhaps you are simply not accustomed to how Ekklesiastical...

    COMMUNION: Does "is" mean "is?" Catholic, Lutheran, Evangelical

    I recall you saying: "Arsenios, thank you for saying the EOC fully accepts the validity of the Lutheran Eucharist." Indeed I did, but not to your first mis-recollection... It would be but only IF I had not gone on to explain what I meant... Hence what you said is a gross distortion and not...

    COMMUNION: Does "is" mean "is?" Catholic, Lutheran, Evangelical

    To rabid partisans, there is no objectivity... It slaps them across their faces, and they call it partisan... They are seeing only through their partisan spectacles... So they accuse objectivity of talking out of both sides of one's mouth... Family spats are like that... What? Did you...

    Did Abraham conjure up his own faith...

    Ephesians 2:8 For by Grace you have been Saved, through the Faith— and this is not from yourselves, Of God the Gift— This means that God gave us the Faith which Christ discipled to His Apostles... It means that you did not generate the Grace of God, the Faith of God, nor the Salvation of...

    CRISIS IN ORTHODOXY - UKRANIAN AUTOCEPHALOY

    This is an open letter between two Ekklesiarchs, where one has overstepped and the other is rebuking him... This is how the Church responds to bad behavior by an Ekklesiarch... You will find more Ekklesiarchs doing much the same... All praying for the E/P to turn away from his foolishness...

    COMMUNION: Does "is" mean "is?" Catholic, Lutheran, Evangelical

    It is just the truth... Truth is standard, you are right... Both sides here, and elsewhere, try to drag the Orthodox onto their side against the other in this very familial spat... We do not affirm much of what each side affirms... Were they to arise from Orthodox Clergy and proclaim their...
