quatona Okey dokey.

paedar1987 This has nothing to do with my faith in the democratically elected officials of whichever country we're talking about though, of course, there's corruption in every government and abuses still happen under regulated systems. I'm asking this because you and others have argued for...

paedar1987 Check my first post. I ask for evidence that this has happened in places where prostitution has been legalised. quatona How could that be my strawman? I repeated the benefits that you and other proponents of legalised prostitution gave. Using the word 'great' for hyperbolic flair...

I had in mind protecting prostitutes from the abuses that seem an inseparable part illegal prostitution, allowing prostitutes to easily seek help, and making prostitution safe for prostitutes and their clients. You talked about the rights of prostitutes. I'm not one arguing for the legalisation...

Does anyone have any evidence that legalising prostitution did all the great things it was said it would do in places like Germany and the Netherlands? I ask because the reports I found overwhelmingly suggest that it didn't. I recall reading a news story on Dutch plans to cut the number of...

Yeah, I did. :) Thanks again everyone!

Thank you!

Zoness Calvinism is usually explained or defined using the TULIP acronym. I haven't explained it in a while, so I might be wrong in a place or two, miss out an important point or three, or stress something that isn't really important, but here goes. (ArcticFox or someone else can correct me as...

Hey, I asked a question over at TAW about the Eastern Orthodox use of relics in consecrating their churches. (Apparently, a relic of a saint is required to consecrate an Orthodox church.) I asked that question partly because I was under the impression that Catholics don't use relics that way...

ArcticFox, what do you have to say about John 9: 41 and its parallels (John 15:22, 24)?

Thanks! EDIT: Anhelyna, do you have a source for those bits on how Catholics used to use relics to consecrate their churches? (And just a heads-up: I'm going to ask OBOB about it.) EDIT 2: Here's the topic where I asked OBOB about it.

Haha. The Eastern Orthodox do it, though, not once, not twice, but THREE times. YouTube - Orthodox Infant Baptism

I was reading this topic and it got me thinking on the use of relics to consecrate Orthodox churches and in the creation of antimensions. Mainly, I'm wondering: Why are relics (usually?) required to consecrate a church? Why are they (usually?) required to create an antimension? What's the...

I'm doing Mathematics and Computer Science. I'm in my 2nd year of 3.

What happened to the Serious Stuff subforum?

Heh. It seems the powers that be have always seen this as a problem with the Christian Teens forum. I recall my frustration when the rule banning discussion on things like homosexuality and abortion was first implemented. (I think that rule was eventually modified to a severe limitation on...

Why is the age range being changed? I skimmed the topic but I don't recall seeing an answer to that question.

I suppose it depends on the person in question and the particular act of tongues, falling over, dancing or running in question. Apart from many of these believers being quite devoted to Christ and showing the fruit of the Spirit in all its fulness, some other marvelously Spirit-filled fruits...

Too much? Nah. Sometimes I suspect that we're nowhere near enough. :D
