    Tradition

    Martin Luther was among the people who thought that physical pain was a way to overcome sin. He was mistaken. Saint Paul's comments do not approve beating one's body with sticks. Nevertheless suffering privations for the sake of the gospel does bring a harvest of grace and wisdom.

    Calvinism Vs Arminian

    Well, no they do not. No scripture says that Jesus died as your substitute. Many passages in holy scripture say that Christ died for the benefit of those who believe in him.

    Anglican origins, claims, theology.

    It is right and proper to deal with the church of England since that is what "Anglican" signifies. USA churches in that family used the name Episcopal church for themselves but perhaps yours is a newer one that has used "Anglican" for some reason.

    Anglican origins, claims, theology.

    The way you wrote made it seem as though you claimed a direct connection to the church of England. But I see now that you have only a verbal connection.

    Anglican origins, claims, theology.

    So you're not a member of the church that you claimed started in 37 AD? I thought it was unlikely that you were. So the claim about 37 AD was just fluff about something of which you're no member. Well, back to the facts and away from your fanciful claims. There were two versions of the act...

    Heresies of the sixteenth century

    It'd be just peachy if somebody alleged that God said to do burn heretics? I notice that your argument against burning heretics has no scripture support to it. You just rely on current cultural revulsion at the idea of burning heretics to death. It is, of course, totally deplorable...

    ὑπωπιάζω hupōpiazō hoop-o-pee-ad'-zo From a compound of G5259 and a derivative of G3700; to hit under the eye (buffet or disable an antagonist as a pugilist), that is, (figuratively) to tease or annoy (into compliance), subdue (one’s passions): - keep under, weary. (Strongs) ὑπωπιάζω...

    Anglican origins, claims, theology.

    Well, one claim made by the church of England is that the King (or Queen) of England is the supreme head (under God) of the church in England in all matters temporal and spiritual. That is a mighty claim for a worldly ruler to make for him (or her) self.

    Sinless Mary

    Is the question asked in your post genuine asking for knowledge or vagrant curiosity so that the idea that Blessed Mary was sinless can be made an object of ridicule?

    Tradition

    Saint Paul wrote about his own practise of self discipline - 1 Corinthians 9:27 Instead, I chastise my body, so as to redirect it into servitude. Otherwise, I might preach to others, but become myself an outcast. If the EOC has lost this wisdom then come to the "west" and learn from Christ...

    Sinless Mary

    It was by a unique grace granted to Blessed Mary by God that she was born without stain of original sin and lived a life free from wickedness by the grace of God and power of the Holy Spirit who came upon her to cause the Lord, Jesus Christ, to be born of the Blessed Virgin.

    Calvinism Vs Arminian

    I had to place the two posts next to each other so that I could be sure that you really wrote what you did after reading what was said in my post. It's an amazing case of theological myopathy or maybe theological blindness. Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures; and he was...

    Heresies of the sixteenth century

    It's wrong because - The common punishment for serious crimes was death, at the time that the 41 errors were listed, and burning was less cruel than hanging, drawing, and quartering which was the punishment (in England) for treason (a capital crime) and heresy was a capital crime under civil...

    Calvinism Vs Arminian

    The Lord, Jesus Christ, being pierced on behalf of others and crushed for their benefit is not being their substitute. I can see why you may think of it as substitution but Isaiah 53:5 does not suggest that Christ substituted for you. He suffered on your behalf and for your benefit. That is a...

    Calvinism Vs Arminian

    It is the same word used to describe the system of prisons - the penal system. Penal substitutionary atonement. Penal substitutionary atonement refers to the erroneous doctrine that Christ died on the cross as a substitute for sinners.

    Sinless Mary

    The point being that the Lord, Jesus Christ, remained sinless. Enoch never died. Job likely did die. (Job 42:17) Mary too, likely died. Being sinless insofar as never personally sinning is 'sinless' does not make one immune from death.

    Heresies of the sixteenth century

    27. Besides the errors here enumerated and condemned by the Bull, there are many others mentioned and enumerated by Noel Alexander, and Cardinal Gotti (2), extracted from various works of Luther, as from the treatise ” De Indulgentiis,” ” De Reformatione,” ” Respon. ad lib. Catharini,” ” De...
