Yes, I believe Origen commented quite extensively on this issue, showing that the lack of the article shows that the Logos is God, but not God the Father.
Ahh... I understand now... Since he said the word was with God, as in God the Father, then he…
Furthermore, JW's fail to realise that had St. John qualified the term theos with the definite article, the Trinitarian conception of God would have been destroyed. In other words, the fact JW's point to the absence of the definite article as a proo…
And (in the old days, not any more) it was held that if a person paid money to the Church, the Church would give them the excess "points" earned by the Saints, which would pass through purgatory quicker.
I believe these were called indulgences - an…
Wow.... thank you so much... I never realized I could add so much...
With the part where Christ is burned on a stake... I can't believe I said that... I remember reading that in fact it was a one bar cross - thank you for bringing my attention to t…
What do you mean it was acceptable? Accepted by who? Adam and Eve were naked in the Garden of Eden simply because of lack of knowledge. They didn't know they were naked to begin with, and so in turn they didn't cover themselves. Once they ate from t…

Go to Spiritual Songs... then look for the Better Life (its in the beginning) and the album named Mali Sewak, its the first track on the left side.
socoolbishoy, I believe you understood her wrong. The problem is not with the lesson or the message. She is giving a basic Old Testament story - nothing wrong with that. The only problem is with a question, which I personally wouldn't have been able…
Not only will seeing a priest be neccassary for confession, but spiritual guidance and advice. I personally have no idea what I would do without mine... He's exactly like my own dad... Priests are not there to judge but to guide. Remember that this …
I didn't mean tasbeha or alhan or etc, rather secular music. But for one that previously listened to music, I found now spiritual food in it. Maybe it differs from person to person, but I cannot see how someone talking about the completely wrong mea…
Having the desire to listen to music, in my eyes, in and of itself is wrong. Any desire for anything that is not associated with Christ means that I am not fixing my eyes on the race I have to run, but rather I am losing my focus on the true prize. …
Start by reading the Psalms. They are full of prayers for repantance and strengthening, etc.. Then start praying from your heart, just telling God everything inside you and you feel and much you want to get closer to him. I also recommend the book G…
Once again, just because she is Christian does not justify her actions. I could be practically living in church and still have a heart full of filth (not that I'm saying she does). Going to church and being Christian doesn't mean that what you are d…

Nancy Agram, or any other secular singer, is by no means approved of the Church for its children to listen to. St. Paul says that he has taken us as a pure bride to present to Christ - by watching nancy dance on a music video is by no means edifying…

I still don't understand. Can someone further elaborate?
The way I see it is this, Christ was crucifixified on Friday before sunset so that's one day, and came e…

I agree with Marianne. If someone loved another to the point of marriage, but then when they discover that the other person is ill they no longer want to be part of the relationship? What kind of love is this? Selfish love, and according to St. Paul…
