    "Catholic Answers" Why Did Luther's Heresy Persist?

    Good - Then you agree that sequence is mandated - Foreknowing before Calling, then Justification, then Glorification... I thought you were insisting that sequencing is not mandated because "kai" does not mandate sequencing... That IS what you wrote... So now, then, is ANY man born with NO...

    CRISIS IN ORTHODOXY - UKRANIAN AUTOCEPHALOY

    When childish sin is justified by dogma repentance is no easy matter... So to put the matter in your terms... And this is not my belief but is only an illustration so you can see better: "Neither you nor Hitler have displayed faith..." So perhaps now you can see the problem here? This is...

    "Catholic Answers" Why Did Luther's Heresy Persist?

    Josiah - You can remove the word "kai" from the pericope and it still mandates sequence... ("Kai" in this text means "also"...) (Pronounced "key" as in "lock and...") You cannot Call the Foreknown without Foreknowing them first... You cannot Justify the Called without Calling them first...

    "Catholic Answers" Why Did Luther's Heresy Persist?

    So what do you think? Should I just sit back down, and cringe, and shut my mouth and be silent and not say a word because the Orthodox Church is not a party to this problem you have with the Latin Church? And because it addresses an issue that to us would be anathema should it arise...

    "Catholic Answers" Why Did Luther's Heresy Persist?

    Hey, A!!! The other A! Good to see you again... There is a kind of fraternal recognition from the net... We do remember each other... We do care... We are not just Mr and Mrs and Ms No-Names, hiding in our anonymity, working with false names, and taking cheap shots at other posters from...

    No... And putin is reputed to be 'old school' - eg A counterpuncher of wrongs that over-punches... But his faith is genuine, I am satisfied... He once said of the US - "I am NOT your friend - I am the President of Russia..." Arsenios

    Ways about biblical interpretation

    In terms of the Synoptic Gospels, there also seem to be themes that are fairly determinative of the history depicted, given so as to be useful either for certain peoples, or for those perhaps with similar criteria of understanding... The Book of John is a little different, because it is not so...

    Then deliberate neglect - Alas!! I will feel much better after I have a good long cry! I mean, I've been pretty much all by my lonesome giving the Orthodox perspective... Makes me wish you had been shy... Too funny! So you just do not like Orthodox theological discussions? I mean, are you...

    That is the reason Putin is taking a role there - They have no means of self-defense that is meaningful without him... Hunting rifles in the woods won't cut it when your family is in the house... And the secular government is actively anti-Christian, so dividing Christians is to their...

    Pray to be worthy.

    We have an eeriely Protestant sentiment in the Thanks-Giving Prayers following Holy Communion, wherein we give thanks to God for ACCOUNTING us worthy, ALTHOUGH unworthy, to receive the Gift... Yet we pray to be made worthy of the Gift... The Faith is a Mystery, not a logical system of...

    CRISIS IN ORTHODOXY - UKRANIAN AUTOCEPHALOY

    When it is being used as a political ploy outside the Canons of the Church there is every reason... Russian Orthodox Christians, who comprise by far the largest group of Christians in the region, are being persecuted... That is why the region is such a powder keg... They are not willing to...
