    Oh my gosh statrei I thought you did not prefer long posts.:D I will try my best to keep it short, but building is a process..so try and do me the honor of taking it into consideration. I do not know what you mean when you refer to Matthew negating the view that the Apostles would live to...

    What went wrong?

    The first paragraph relates to nothing about Christ's return before the time of the Father...The Spirit did what was promised..orthodoxy does not teach that some of the Apostles will live until the return of the Lord. I do not have God on a time clock..Either you misunderstand me or are...

    *still awaits facts from stateri that He will come before the appointed time of the Father* *..has been reading through the thread for quite a while* It would probably help if you could show us anywhere where this is or was foretold by Christ...or if you could provide some orthodox record for...

    What went wrong?

    I too at first experienced this confusion of what is the rapture and when does it happen..then I come to find that the orthodox view (and what I mean is the way it has been taught since Christ has ascended) is actually the way in which it is laid out in scripture..uncomplicated just as it is...

    Confession Query

    I heard once that unless the priest asks for specifics on certain types of sin..that maybe one should not "go into detail" to keep from tempting the priest. I've got some sins that are..um extremely bold in nature..any advice? And as of right now my baptismal record seems to be lost? Does...

    Confession Query

    As some of you may know I am converting to Catholicism..I was wondering..when I go to my first confession do I need to confess to the priest my past sins that I no longer give into...like a certain sin that I commited once or twice and then never did again?

    The Exorcism of Emily Rose

    I thought the movie was very good actually. I do not know if the director intended certain things to jump out or not, but alot of things seemed obvious to me..Like the entire trial..which relates to "they shall deliver you up" to the powers that be and "you shall be persecuted for My name's...
