    Just saying hello...

    First of all, many years... a free tip - if you put some peanut butter into a bowl and a bar of chocolate (if you are really adventurous- you will make it brown and white chocolate) over it... then put the bowl into a microwave and melt it.. then slam ice-cream over the top - you will thank...

    Soul Sleep

    They are just confused a little bit... I am saying this as one who "used to pray to Ellen G White" that unmistakable prophet" of last days, a woman who "prophetically" saw that other "Sundayiran" authors had good material and basically stole a certain (large) amount of her "visions"..

    Redemption of Satan??

    I think that we should pray for everyone - in all times - for all times - everywhere and all the time. Who is anyone to judge? The concern of God - it is His decision to save whomever He wants and whenever He wants - it is not democracy - it is not "if him why not me" - we have all failed and...

    Questions on Salvation not Theosis....

    Many years, East sees it differently, due to something that we enforce and perpetuate upon all of the universe. Mystery! Like all other things, salvation is a mystery - secret. When does it start, how does it go, where does it finish, where am I... etc, are the questions we really do not ask...

    I will be entering the catechumenate

    Either, we are idiots, or saints - and in this life of ours we - the men - see reasons for living - and they are of this world - or that world. Orthodoxy is of both - full of idiots, full of saints - for what is a saint but an idiot to this world. Look at those kings who gave everything to...

    For all you Aussies out there

    Ah yanks... got to luv them... Mate, Australia is the best bloody country in the world mate - take it from a wog who spent 20 years elsewhere. Aussies generally do not care - about anything that has anything to do with anything other than about 5-6 shapes of (foot or hand)balls (AFL, Union...

    "From Baptist to Bosnia to Byzantium"

    I think that there is something wrong with Orthodox Liturgy - it keeps converting the Evangelicals... Seriously, it was said somewhere that Orthodoxy is the faith of the XXI century Americans - Seems that after 7 years into it - one can actually believe it and not be nutts to do so....

    Discussion: Should the words 'gosh' and 'gee' be banned for TAW members?

    I am not aware how much these word offend God - I AM however somewhat aware how much my actions, words and thoughts offend God - the words mentioned (Gosh, Gee and whatever else) are just words and mean nothing to me - I do not use them nor does anyone I know - you can vote and decide - but...

    A discussion of the Catholic and Orthodox views on Mortal sin and realted issues

    It really depends on the decision of a bishop in charge - I do think that the general experience is that priests will be ordained (it is not considered to be re-ordination)... However, it does really depend on the bishop. I am sure that Serbs would definitely ordain those coming from Latin...

    Do we inherit the Original Sin from Adam and Eve or just the consequences?

    We inherit consequences of Adam's fall and not Adam's guilt - Adam has assumed new nature when he fell - he became sinful - we inherit the consequences of the fall and not the guilt - Adam is guilty of his own sins and we are guilty of our own - no one is guilty of anyone else's sins -

    A discussion of the Catholic and Orthodox views on Mortal sin and realted issues

    Seriously, I think that we should concentrate our efforts to re-communing with Anglican communions and Oriental Orthodox communions as it is obvious that Rome is far gone - It is also obvious that there is no point in arguing with Latins on anything - they know what they need to do before we...

    All Paths Lead to God

    There is no negotiation with God - it is a narrow path He said somewhere. People may say whatever they want - God is merciful - and God did not care for the power and prerogatives of His own divinity, but for the sake of all took upon Himself what was created - out of love - and left His...
