    Salvation

    Then would you please explain the difference between God's Call to Salvation, His Justification after that Call, and His Glorification after His Justification, following the account of the Apostle Paul in Romans, and especially Rom 8:30 as you understand it? Rom 8:30 Moreover whom he did...

    I asked you how YOU know... I am asking YOU, not Peter... I asked you how YOU know, not Timothy... I asked you how YOU know... I asked you how YOU know... How do YOU know you have this faith when people who think they have it fall away? So if anyone stops persevering, they are...

    Election

    Here is the definitive Word of God on Election: Those whom God foreknew, these also He pre-selected (fore-ordained) ... So that until you know God's foreknowledge of the pre-selected... You have not even so much as met Abigail Schnartz... And if you have not met Abigail Schnartz... Then you...

    Salvation

    Some day you will learn the difference between BY works and THROUGH works... For the Faith through which Salvation comes is the Faith that does works... It is the Faith that is perfected IN works... Faith is inseparable from the works of the Faith... This is where Rome got a little off...

    It's abhorrent.

    A simple little law that would receive their application and send them back into Mexico would take care of it... Applying for assylum cannot be a "right of entry" into the US... Nor bringing your child... I have seen shoplifting pregnant mothers using their pregnancy and their children to avoid...

    I agree that Islamic cultures with their penchant for killing each other and for killing non-islamics very much need, indeed require, oppressive governments... The Obama-Clinton foreign policy of disrupting the reasonably stable opressive Islamic governments in Egypt, Lybia and Syria is the...

    Salvation

    Thank-you - You are right... The COST of Discipleship is resistance to sin unto blood... And if as a disciple one does not do so... The Father will discipline that one as His Son... Discipleship entails disciplining... The discipline of the Father... Is for the sake of... The self-discipline...

    Salvation

    I love the music... And the landscapes of the language... Because I KNOW the prayer... However, it does bring us back to Salvation, because IF Salvation IS Life Eternal, THEN what is the LANGUAGE of the Life of the Age to Come? Where our self-authority to turn to evil, or to turn to God, is no...

    Here is a totally off-topic offering from Holy Orthodox Russia, with Love... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3iYnHx8P0s It is for those of us who find slowing down problematic... Arsenios

    Do you have a care-taker to clean up your little spit-ups like this? Your commentaries lack pith... And abound in drool... Arsenios

    Competing ideals and philosophies

    OK - This one is my all-time favorite - My response to it is what motivated my Christian Baptismal name, Arsenios. https://www.amazon.com/Father-Arseny-1893-1973-Narratives-Concerning/dp/0881411809 It was my first Orthodox book when I first encountered this Faith, and some 16 years later we...

    Salvation

    Well, in your defense, i do have a penchant for saying things that are true in a way that we KNOW For A FACT are NOT true, and vise versa... So reading what I post with open-ness to the ever-possibility of that kind of humor is a good idea... Yet Paul is clear: in First Corinthians - Love does...

    IF ONLY!! Children are subject to the discipline of the parents... Adults can act like children without such a benefit... Arsenios

    It's abhorrent.

    No judgement there! Unaccountable lawlwssness is NOT Christian... It is NOT a feature of US Government... We need to change the Law... Democrats are blocking that effort... Trump has stopped Obama's practices of enforcing the Law separating children from parents at the border... It is a...

    Salvation

    I thought that this might be your cunning in this matter... 1: Make an outrageous accusation... 2: Repeat the accusation... 3: Convict by lack of denial... Have you considered a career at MSNBC?? :) So now you have an opportunity to retract your accusation... Because I HAVE denied it...

    Salvation

    Well, hopefully I have put your concerns to rest... You concerns come out of a misdirected practice found in some lines of western monasticism... Heretical, actually, because it regards the flesh as inheritantly evil and punishes it... We are to submit our flesh to our self in submission to...

    Speaking only for the Orthodox, they are not... We are FAR more draconian in our resistant striving against sin than mere daliances in self flagellation! :) Self-flagellation is for SISSIES!!! REAL MEN do not behave like SISSIES!! Jes' Sayin'... :):):) This is too funny! Arsenios
