No. First of all, you need to define "spiritual." That's such a nebulous term. Second, I'm of the opinion that evolution is incompatible with faith in the god of the Abrahamic religions. Even if this god is "panentheistic" that still doesn't explain why it would use a process that involves...

My friend Amanda has a friend named Jessica. They consider each other best friends, hang out all the time, share each other's food, etc. Thing is, Jessica is a devout Christian. I mean, there is nothing that could convince her that Christianity is wrong and she tries to follow her religion to...

I ticked #5 "I regard myself as an atheist." I do not believe in any supernatural entities. I meant to tick #3 too (but I didn't on accident) because I would never claim to know that such a being doesn't exist. Also, I echo the statements of a few others in this thread that we need to define...

You do know he's kidding, right?

I made a thread recently to say hello to everyone in here. I used to frequent this forum for quite awhile back around 2007, 2008 and the early part of 2009. I was a member of the Church at the time. I now no longer consider myself a member. The reasons why I came to Orthodoxy are very broad...

I was wondering, how well-accepted is John Shelby Spong among Anglicans/Episcopalians/Old Catholics here in the forum and in the wider Anglican Communion?

I remember you guys as well! RobNJ, I think you were the one I PM'd way back when, when I was first looking into joining the Orthodox Church, and I said something like "I'm gonna get chrismated next Sunday!" It doesn't look like much has changed here at CF since they got rid of the...

What's up guys? I used to frequent this forum quite a bit about two years ago (when I would have considered myself a member of the Church). I already see a few faces I recognise. How've you all been? :wave:

I wouldn't mind seeing the old other-religion, atheist, agnostic, philosophy, etc forums put back. Why did they do away with the non-Christian section of the board in the first place anyway?

May his memory be eternal. :crosseo:

I invite them likewise. Why?

If that's the case meh, that its staying at either 18 or 19, then sorry. I gotta refuse to vote as well. No offense to you. You've been great throughout all this. :)

Yeah, I'd read about this somewhere too. Lord have mercy. :crosseo:

God never stops loving people, even those in Hell. Those who end up in Hell stop loving Him, though. Hell is separation from the love of God through one's own rejection. It is not some place that God angrily sends sinners. If that were the case, we would all be in Hell.

My vote was yes. :)

Baptism is by immersion (when possible), and in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. And since God actually does act through the Mystery of Baptism to bring about forgiveness of sins and it really is our participation into the death and resurrection of our Lord, why should we...

You may want to see your priest, or a psychologist about this. Are you okay, friend?

It gave me a notice saying: Invalid Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator :confused:

Indeed, He is risen! I really know what you mean Justin. I've been going through a bit of a transition period myself and I still don't know where I am heading with college, work, new friends. God's will be done for both of us. Prayers for ya bro. :crosseo:

I must agree with others here who are uneasy about this. It's good the the Navigators obviously have a regard for and appreciate the Holy Tradition of the Church and are willing to learn more about history and their own origins. This will definitely give them more understanding. At the same...
