[quote author=Orthodoxy link=topic=14265.msg163436#msg163436 date=1361406610] Gentlemen, enough with the name-calling; show kindness to one another. There are people from all walks of life observing these forums. Believers and non-believers; thos…

It is true what you say binC. But then one comes before the other. If I pray, I am talking first then listening. If I read the bible, then I am listening and then praying. I feel myself that if I read the bible first then I have put God first.

I think our recent discussion does have something to do with the Pope of Rome. That like the catholics, and the Pope in what just happened with him, that they do do things in a secrecy. But what it is a brother covering the sin of another brother…

I live under the commandment to love my neighbour as myself. So I will love irishpilgrim as much as I love you Ray and both as much as my love has come from my love of God. If I do lie to myself. It is this: That I try to be positive when th…

Thank you Remnkemi and Biboboy. The was a great explaination. God bless.

Are you saying God's grace does not come to us through the sacrements via the Holy Spirit?

[quote author=mikeforjesus link=topic=14272.msg163394#msg163394 date=1361247311] HH Pope Tawadros 2 made a wise choice to make peace between the churches now God has room to defend our innocence please read 1 Samuel where the philistines steal th…

I don't think you were being fair to irishpilgrim RO. I think irishpilgrim does have genuine concerns that our church in affected by a liberal attitude like the Roman Catholic may of taken. Irishpilgrim may of being RC and see, in his eyes a same …

That was perfect Purity2. Praise God. It is about love and loving our neighbour. Very nice from Pope Tawadros 2nd. The question is if you did do the job of video game developer. Would it serve your brother because of your love for him? …
-
I was only saying the above because I would hope you see what I'm saying. It's because I know the problems you have and I see a video game developer as not your best option. My thoughts on that it is that it is about control. Not only that but if …

We try to live a righteous life Mike. If you did become a video game developer. Then you might ask yourself, 'am I helping people in a good way?' What are they doing that is not benefical to them? I can think of things like they are not particap…

If we take that veiw Zoxsasi, then all popes would be great and none of them would make a wrong decision. The Holy Spirit has to work with our human nature. It is the canons and the sacrements that He works through best and if the pope is finds hi…

The reason I was explaining things in terms of soul and spirit Altair9 is because spirit, being masculine is straight in it's direction. Straight is one term for orthodox. Also, that makes it linear, which means it starts somewhere and finishes. …

It would be make sense for God commanding women to cover themselves.Jewish women do it and christian women do it. Are you saying that when If Islam tells women to cover, its wrong ? then I guess what nuns are doing is wrong to. I think Altair…

This is an excerpt from Origen's Spiritual life or A journey of the soul: Through His grace God leads the soul on and on, from a knowledge of one’s self to the struggle against sin, to practices of asceticism, to the mystical ascent, until a…

I tend to look at the nature of something to find the truth in it. So if I think of the body. It is material. Then I looked at the word soul ,and in arabic it is feminine, and spirit masculine. So in terms of my christian thinking. The …

I know you are caring and one who perservers. So I think the veiw of your sin is that it is a reaction you are taking against trying to be in control. So trying to take control of things is more of an enermy for you than your sins. You were accu…

You are right Remnkemi, It doesn't matter on my thoughts of repentance. The Holy Spirit is full-filling the Word of scripture.

Yes the RCC has made mistakes with their theology. But the question was about the validity and spirituality of Pope Benedict's resignation. I think you agree with me that it's ok for him to resign and the Holy Spirit will choose a worthy shepherd a…
-
I'm sorry Mike, but I don't see any peace in this for you, even though you are showing a loving part of your character. If you go to heaven, you won't have any sickness. It is a peaceful state in the glory of God. While what you want may seem…
-
I think it is because of their theology with original sin. The Holy Spirit is not weighted toward conscience and guilt. The Pope stated his conscience had a lot to do with his decision. It's alright with me. He has served the ones under his care …

Hi Mike, I was thinking about this question. Even though I know that eygptian parents encourage their children to be successful. So I guess you are no different. But when it comes to questions. To solve a problem the…

Have you asked your dad what he thinks about success?

I'm hoping you will be ok Mike. We are listening to God when we read the bible. So I was hoping that instead of going in different directions, even with what you hear. That you can meditate on just one verse as this might help you focas. Then your …

The point I was making about the soul and spirit also. That in arabic the soul is femine and the spirit masculine, is that, then the soul internalisers the spirit, so it is important, what the spirit is that is going into the soul. Another poi…

I'm still saying religion and politics don't mix. I think your question on the difference of the catholic church and ours is about differences under one so called religion. I think the different veiw on the way we veiw sin. The…

I will explain spirit later. I think the problem with the islamic world may lay in that Nasser gave it a political edge in his attempt to get rid of the colonialism from the middle east. The jews the british, who let them in, and others who c…

Thanks Altair9. Take your time. It's good that your on the forum. God bless.

I was hoping you would be able to answer the question of the soul being feminine and the spirit being masculine Altair9. Because the koran was written in arabic and the word soul in arabic is feminine, likewise, the spirit is masculine. So I w…
