    Submission in marriage and domestic violence

    Thanks for responding! I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to get at. What I hoped to get across was that the Church has allowed its understanding of authority and headship, both in the family and in the Church to be infiltrated by the World. I'm Authority in the Church, as St. Paul...

    are women responsible for men's sin?

    What I find interesting -and not in a good way- about the OP title is that this question, answered in the positive, subtly makes its way into many Christian books on recovery from inappropriate contentography and other forms of sexual addiction brokenness. The argument, directed toward spouses (usually wives) is...

    Submission in marriage and domestic violence

    Part of the problem, I believe, comes from a basic lack of formation concerning the biblical pattern of submission "as to the Lord", as well as a wrong understanding about biblical Headahip; it tends to be discussed in terms of power and not in terms of sacrificial love. This is true not only...

    Killing vs murder (Mature discussion)

    Baruch Hashem, Mynamechef! Thank you for the opportunity to work out the distinction between "killing" and "murder". It is not a topic I have been able to think through systematically previously other than to note that there is a moral, and legal difference between the two, even though both...

    Books left out of the Bible

    Baruch HaShem, Goatee! Thanks for your question. Obviously the question of the Canon, it's composition, recption, development, amd closing is a complicated, often convoluted one. Several canonical Books like James and Revelation, and some of the deutero-Pauline Epistles almost did not make...

    Philosophical/theological problem: evil in the Church

    Baruch Hashem, InnTee! EDIT: so many small things left undone, I'm sure I didn't address everything yout wanted, so I'll try again if I need to. .... And I expanded some after work. Apologies for my vanity in answering at length. The simpliest (and hardest) answer is because He loves us, and...

    What about people who died before Christ was born?

    Baruch Hashem Lybrah! EDIT uhm yeah , apparently my phone posted the message before I was ready. My apologies. Herein is the completed, emerged and corrected text : We always want to answer sincere questioners with truth covered in sensitivity and charity, and not seek to deliberately bring...

    Is it a Sin to Follow the Law?

    If you did seek to follow it apart from Christ , it would become sin -and death- for you because well, by our own power it is impossible to keep Torah. To fulfill what Torah requires you must keep all 613 -fail to keep just one of the mitzvot and one has become guilty of breaking the whole...

    What is Justice

    Baruch Hashem, Saucy! I don't have the time to peruse the D'Souza video now (maybe later), but I do have some thoughts. "Justice" as a core concept in moral philosophy is at least as old as Socrates and Plato (I always remember how surprised I was to learn that Republic was basically an...

    Can a Protestant be devoted to Mary And the saints ?

    Well. In my case, the Shrine at Little Walsingham, Norfolk, England is ecumenical, v or rather there is a Roman Catholic National Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham, the larger Church of England (Anglican ) and an Orthodox Chapel and Society of OLW, located in the Anglican shrine, so i wouldn't...

    Do All People Love God?

    Baruch Hashem, my brother You ask: God loves all men because He created us out of, and for, love. How can anyone, much less the Creator, hate what h/He has made? All peoples are born with an innate knowledge and love of God that can be, and so sadly often is, repressed, hidden, or otherwise...

    Can a Protestant be devoted to Mary And the saints ?

    Well it's not impossible for Protestants to form a pious devotion to Our Lady and the Saints. For myself, as an Anglican (Anglo-Catholic, though I'm not sure how qualified that makes me to be counted among "proper" Protestants) in addition to the recitation of the Rosary (though I'm not as...

    I'm trying to understand the Immaculate Conception

    It has been my understanding that the Immaculate Conception is one of the most misunderstood teachings about the divine maternity of Our Lady (even though as an Anglican, albeit an Anglo-Catholic I am not convinced of its suitability as a dogma that must be believed for salvation). What it most...
