    They are not attached to one's wrist either and I like that.

    Baptism by sprinkling

    I did not read the link at all. I said so in my last post. I do not intend to read a long article. If you are incapable of articulating in a few words what is not symbolic about baptism and what it does then I reckon that it must be symbolic and the long article is blowing smoke and hand waving...

    Controversial: strange fire ... first presentation.

    Yes, I think that is the gist of the first few minutes of his presentation. He's quite anti-catholicism too, so you're far from being alone in the targets he selects. But on the matter of discernment, how do you cope with the semi-crazy claims made by some folk who think they've had a word from God?

    Controversial: strange fire ... first presentation.

    This is a very special period of time for us here at Grace Church, at least in our little family, because Patricia, my wife and I, are celebrating our fiftieth wedding anniversary and I at least want you to see the gift - the best gift that God gave me in life. Patricia, would you stand up and...

    How do Orthodox Christians calculate which day is Good Friday?

    I think that the length of the months came from Egypt and from the little over 29 day cycle of the moon. I think that a seven day week may have come from the creation story or may have come from other sources too. All of creation comes from God yet not everything is intended for use nor is...

    Baptism by sprinkling

    I've read your posts and none of them say what is NOT symbolic about baptism or what it does. I haven't clicked your external link and I don't intend to since you already say it is long (to save typing to much) and I asked what you say is not symbolic about baptism. But I can tell by your...

    Baptism by sprinkling

    Alithis, You still haven't told us what is not symbolic about baptism. What exactly does baptism do?

    Baptism by sprinkling

    What is not symbolic in baptism? For example, does baptism washes away sins? Does baptism save? Is baptism the visible means by which one is born from above?

    How do Orthodox Christians calculate which day is Good Friday?

    I am wondering if George will contribute a post to this thread to explain how the Orthodox calculate the days for Pascha.

    How do Orthodox Christians calculate which day is Good Friday?

    No, I do not think that God ordained the use of a lunar month and a year of 360 days - more or less. Any more than God ordained a year of 365.25 days and months of 28, 30, and 31 days length. Unless you're thinking that the orbit of the Earth and the rate of its spin on its axis are ordained in...

    How do Orthodox Christians calculate which day is Good Friday?

    If you're keen on the calendar that Israel had when Moses was about then you ought to stop talking in terms of the months we have and your years ought to be set by biblical rules. Personally I see no reason to use a lunar calendar.

    Pocket watches, more for men than women but some would be attractive to women too. I ordered one ... I wonder what it will turn out like ... it cost me $3.32 AUD

    How do Orthodox Christians calculate which day is Good Friday?

    Oh, yes, you're right. 22nd of April is Passover for Rabbinic Jews. Nevertheless the first full moon after the vernal equinox is on Wednesday - the local Jehovah's witnesses have been handing out invitations to their annual "evening meal" event which they associate with the "last supper". Of...

    What makes a person a saint?

    Catholics believe and teach that all of the faithful who have died and are with the Lord are saints and that all the faithful who are alive on earth and live a life in communion with God and the saints are also saints in the making. It is not as if only those who are canonised are saints just...

    Why was Mary necessary?

    And your opinions are authoritative? More authoritative than those of the Catholic Church which has over a billion members? Not that numbers are an infallible proof or anything like that but they surely weigh in an argument about how good or bad your opinion is versus the teaching of the...
