    Leaven or unleavened bread

    Sorry, that one had flown right on by me... Getting a Christian Priest's blessing for any enterprise is always a good thing... Getting the rabbit's blessing by bagging his foot... Not so much! :):):) Arsenios

    Leaven or unleavened bread

    Thank you for your prayers, my Brother... I do not seek God's approval by works... Yet I fear offending Him by bad works... For when I was dead in trespasses, He gave me Life Eternal... Palpably and ontologically as the condition of my existence... This when I had turned from this life and...

    Salvation

    In this life, we "seek the Face of the God of Jacob"... And this means Christ... For we are to become by God's Grace what God became in the flesh by Nature... God became man in order that fallen man should become Divinized by God... So first, man must turn from evil and seek the Good... God...

    Leaven or unleavened bread

    You are talking to one... As an atheist... First 36 years... But my Brother, I am not typical... I am more of a side showing of freaks at a carnival... The folks who start out like me all end up in prisons, psychiatric locked wards, and grave yards... And all that repentance did not cure...

    Leaven or unleavened bread

    So is there anyone unable to turn from sin? Is anyone saved who does not turn from sin? "To all those who falsely insist that man cannot turn from sin in repentance and is saved when he does not so turn from sin in repentance: !!!ANATHEMA!!! !!!ANATHEMA!!! !!!ANATHEMA!!! Arsenios

    Salvation

    I sure hope so... No question... It is sure the title! Indeed... Well, we part on this matter - It is most assuredly BY the Grace of God... But it is the Spiritual (and ontological) Union of God and man in this life... God is gracious unto all... But He is not intimate with all...

    What do you make of it?

    An excellent reply - The 66 Book Bible is a Bible altered by the will of scholarly man... Yet it was created by Holy Men of God speaking forth... 2Peter 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. The...

    Goodness is not enough.

    For this reason, our Lord Christ incarnated... The next line he writes is: "I am thanking God through Jesus Christ our Lord..." He then re-states his point: With the nous he serves Christ, so he follows Christ in a purified heart, whereas with the body he is a servant of sin, and so he does...

    Is the Account of Adam and Eve LITERAL?

    When you have met with Truth, you know that it is not the Bible that is in question, but our fallen, and dare I say rationally deductive, understanding, that is in question... Understanding doesn't all come at once... Arsenios

    Is the Account of Adam and Eve LITERAL?

    The major thing to remember is that Adam and Eve were not created fallen, nor had creation fallen with them... So we do not know, as born under death in Adam, what an un-fallen life IS... Nor do we perceive a creation that is as it was prior to the Fall... We do not know what "The Tree of...

    Goodness is not enough.

    Cops have a simillarly warped view of humanity... A justifiable view, I might add... But warped nonetheless... I think you may agree with me that in the mental health field, the sickest are among those at the top of the field, yes? And that the sick are working with the sicker... And...

    Hunger and thirst after ...

    What is needed is obedience to and union with our Lord... And for this one must ask the Lord in denial of self... Leave off that carbon copy stuff... Ain't nobody no carbon-copy... Arsenios

    Hunger and thirst after ...

    The Orthodox have been fasting from food and water unto righteousness regularly for 2000 years now... Self denial is a good thing for a Christian... Hungry stomachs and parched throats are not to rule us like slaves in fear of death... Arsenios

    Salvation

    I did not write those words to flame, but to invite Menno to turn from flaming... My concern is for him, and MC will not reply, being the one flamed... Somebody needs to care about Menno... His attacks on MC are not good for him... I happen to care... And I pray for him... Will you please...

    Leaven or unleavened bread

    Christians are celebrating Christ the New Pascha (Passover), not with the old leaven of the azymatic hypocrisy of the Pharisees, but with the leavening of Christ in sincerity and purity of heart... Christ is the Leaven of this His Body, so notably missing under the Pasach of the Law... Arsenios

    Fast Food God on the quick! The original Happy Meal... Supersize the fries on that quarterpounder with cheese! Toss in the God on the Side... Anathema!! May it never be so! Lord have Mercy! Fortunately, it is only a cracker and juice... Lest some partake and become ill or fall asleep, of...
