I disagree, Our God is the undivided Trinity who has revealed himself to us in the hypostasis od Christ. It is not the same as what Islam worships, nor is it the same as what Mormons etc. worship.
Well, he is a baptist by choice right, a sect member? Or is he just settling for the best thing at the moment, chasing the invisible church.
And if he really believes that the most important thing is to get people out of sin and into a church community, then what is wrong with Orthodoxy?
I agree with all of this, plus lent is a time to focus on our sins. We are supposed to fast a pray, and then at Pascha there is the most magnificent alleluia you have ever heard.
As tulc said, then he chose to sin.
Did Got hate Adam? Since according to Morey, God is soveriegn in all things. Did God create Adam with that purpose in mind?
Is this addressed to me, because it appears before my post concerning it.

At least the strongest voice in Christianity has integrity. The sex abuse scandal being addressed by Pope Benedict has been all over the news. At least he is not white washing it, and he is bringing it up. And if it is not systemic, why are there now proposals to change canon law to make...
Was it not this type of attitude that caused so much outrage to begin with, telling the victims, "It's bad, but be Christian about it".
The problem was systemic and the bishops were telling everyone to get over it, even touting statistics that they were no worse than the rest of...
The DR and the Authorized version were both preceded by the Geneva bible, that was heavily laden with notes also whose purpose was to bolster the reformed position. It was also so known as the breeches bible.
Well you chose it in dismissing the martyrs, and so did CNN, Drudge, ABC,NBC, Yahoo news, Google news and MSNBC.
So chase it to it's end.
And I still like Pope Benedict, and even the dead ones such as Leo, and Celestine etc....
The OP said voice today. But if you want to make it so, then I disagree. Prayer is the most important voice today.
Let's see how Pope Benedict's prayers work out for the sexually abused that he met with, since we are talking about in the flesh and all that....
A Marriage is a microcosm of the Church. The man may be the "head" but the woman is the heart.
Theology aside, that is what you want for your son. As proverbs attest to. A virtuous women is more valuble that gold.
is she or isn't she?
I was thinking of recent martyrs in the past century as well as all that have gone before. I thought the RC did the same.
I was not thinking of something like Enron, or a political voice. Power has a different context in my twisted mind.
Well, if the girl is worth anything, if she is good, he will be Catholic before the marriage, however, if that is not a requirement, then she will be "a true Christian" within 3 years.
It's a no lose situation.
(Read some of it. chiming in),
If the Pope is the 'the most powerful voice for Christianity today", then let's see him do it with his own jurisdiction. I like Pope Benedict, but I'm still watching to see if he can can carry his words through.
Until that happens, the most...
Hello tenntrekker,
I noticed you have 5 posts as I type this, yet 15000 plus rep points. So I went to view your posts to see how excellent they were, and lo and behold this message appeared on my screen;

Since God is beyond everything, even our imaginations, Christ left us His mystical supper. That by grace, I may commune with God without being undone.
And through His body, and by the existence of His body on earth, I might taste of His grace though I am less than all.
As a...
Thank you, I do not always type how I think.
This is very alarming to me. The Jews also think that the "true messiah" will come at the end and establish a worldly kingdom, once the temple is restored. My thoughts run to the anti-christ sitting in the temple, deceiving even the elect.
