    Ya jes' never know... God can be sneaky like that... I mean, some are saved... For most of "them", just as for most of "us", disabilities are simply God's Mercy toward us... The rest of us, (along with those we like to call "the mentally disabled",) just schlepp our way along through the...

    Salvation

    The Easteren Orthodox Church is the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church... We make absolutely NO CLAIM to EXCLUDE ANY others... EXCEPT... Those from within whom we have expelled and anathematized... Christ Himself is in charge of His Body, and not ANY of the created members of His...

    Salvation

    Absolutely correct... God is the Judge...` Man is the one being judged... What man does MATTERS for or against his Salvation by the Judge... Some Lutherans here seem to think that human praxis means nothing to one's Salvation... We will be judged according to what we do... Not according to...

    Salvation

    If what you say is true, then in the Lutheran view all men are saved... The only IF is from man, which is why what man does matters for the Salvation by God of his soul... Yet our Lutheran friend keeps insisting that man has nothing to do with his own Salvation... Yet it is man who is in...

    Salvation

    Some of us simply say that Jesus saves those who embrace the Call of God unto Salvation... And that He does not save those who scorn the Call of God unto Salvation... For us, Salvation by God is a big IF on our part... For others, it is a big IF on God's part... Arsenios

    Salvation

    Chrysostom writes: "What is the 'law of faith' (nomou pistews)? It is being saved by Grace." So that it is Salvation by Grace that is the Law of Faith... Josiah had written: "No. Faith is the free gift of God - it is not the Law." Perhaps Josiah can show us a passage where it is written that...

    Salvation

    I had asked: "Do you agree that the Law of Faith is the Law of God?" And you replied: Then should I correct Paul for you here? Rom 3:27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what Law? Of works? Nay: But by the Law of Faith. Are you really denying the "dia nomou pistewv" that...

    Question about the fall

    discipleship

    For us, they are accountable matters, especially fasting and confession... If one has not had a recent confession one does not receive Holy Communion, nor if one has not kept the prescribed fasting schedule, nor if one has not prepared for Communion with the precsribed prayers... For us, and...

    The Memory of Power.

    Which rules our supremacy of anyone over anyone else in Christ... Our greatest Christian Ekklesiastical rulers serve the Flock... They do not insist on their Supremacy OVER the Flock... eg Christ is the Head of the Church on earth, and not any one particular of His Servants... Arsenios

    discipleship

    We do :) It begins with prayer and fasting in obedience to Christ in His Holy Body, the Church... It begins with repentance from sin... It begins with confession of sins on a regular basis... And the repentance from confessed sins... It sure didn't... Christ said to His Apostles: Go...

    MoreCoffee had written: The law ... cannot save and never could save. You replied: Too good - A congruence... But then you write: I assume you mean Justification (Narrow)... (eg Salvation) - But you are merely making an assertion without proof... You see, it is one thing to say...
