    Salvation

    Here is a small homily on Salvation: “This is the soul’s espousal to Christ. All else is adultery and promiscuity. Only such a close union between the soul and Christ, that is most clearly mirrored for us in earthly marriage, can make the soul rich and fruitful. From all other close...

    You are a very optimistic person, MC! :) On the one hand, posts have to be edgy enough to provoke a reply... And on the other hand, caring enough to encourage a reply... Ignoring hard questions is very common here... No small matter! :) Are you still awake Down Under?? Arsenios

    "Whom He Called, them He also Justified..." So then do you believe that the Call of God IS Justification? Because you have also written: And this seems to mean that there is no repentance unto Salvation... Arsenios

    Self-Justification is un-Christian... "Whom He Called, them He also Justified..." Hence it is God Who Justifies, not self... Is the Call of God unto Repentance? Does God Justify those who do not repent? Man does the repenting (or not)... God Justifies man repenting... Repenting is the...

    Salvation

    Dare I add that it is God, and NOT God's works, Who, Justifies? The Bible never states that the Works of God Justify the sinner... It clearly states that it is God Himself WHO Justifies the repentant sinner... I mean, was "Narrow Justification" even a topic named in the confrontation of Rome...

    Oh we all find the subject of "coming to have faith" in the Bible... We also find the subject of Spiritual Life in the Bible... We also find the subject of the Holy Spirit in the Bible...

    What's on Your Mind?

    What beautiful poetry... fwiw, the callous and heartless are far from God... Yet in this life on earth, all die... As an animal, you ARE food, and the killer and eater of food... The reason is that life begets life... Life comes from life... Yet in this temporary life we life, death has...

    Should abortion be illegal?

    Hypostatic human life begins at conception... That fact needs to be legally recognized... We need to do much more to facilitate adoptions... Abortions should not be mere elective surgery... A child in the womb is a child... YOU were once in the womb... God bless the right to life folks...

    SPIRITUAL MORSELS from the Ancient Fathers

    It often happens that Satan will insidiously commune with you in your heart and say: 'Think of the evil you have done; your soul is full of lawlessness, you are weighed down by many grievous sins.' Do not let him deceive you when he does this and do not be led to despair on the pretext that...

    I can find Jesus giving Commandments unto Salvation... Do you think His Commandments are unobeyable by us not yet saved men??? Or do you think He ONLY gives His Commandments to the already saved? I mean, WHO is He Commanding? The ALREADY Saved? Or... The NOT-YET-Saved? And where in...

    I already know you talk with God... I simply hoped this revelation might be from the Bible... So from this, it would seem that... you have accused me on another thread... of doing what you yourself are doing... Here are your very own words, and I think you have given great advice Which you...
