[QUOTE="ephraimanesti, post: 59557924, member: 131538"] MY FRIEND, i look forward to your future posts. THE issues habitually dumped here (mainly by trolls) is usually not as stimulating or well-thought out as this one. In any event, the issue is, of course, ultimately in the hands of God so it is His take on your beliefs which is important, not ours. As St. Paul states, [FONT="Arial Black"]"Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. . . . He who eats meat, eats to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who abstains, does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God. . . . .So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the man who does not condemn himself by what he approves. But the man who has doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin."[/FONT] (Romans 14:5-6; 22-23) When God deals with individuals, the "one-size-fits-all" policy in place within "churchianity" does not apply, given that God measures by our unique capacity and needs. Check out your friendly neighborhood Orthodox Church this Lent--you might just feel at home! Great Lent starts February 27th--a date on which all meat and dairy products are removed from Orthodox homes and the focus shifts from Big Macs to more Spiritual matters. :bow:ABBA'S SLAVE, [SIZE="1"]ephraim[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
