    Peter(?) on abortion.

    So. I was reading the Apocalypse of Peter. Now, I know it's not canonical so it may or may not have been written by Peter. But this verse did catch my eye. Is "abortion" a good translation? Did it mean something different than we know it today? I probably won't be debating, just...

    Let's get back to 10 commandments morality

    It seems to me that in our current day there is a lot of condemning and proclaiming this or that a sin. We would all do well to remember God has TEN rules to guide our lives (plus Jesus's new commandment to love!) , and it is not our place to stretch them for the sake of condemning others...

    Questionn.

    Hi :wave: Twas wondering. Do the Orthodox make the distinction between dulia (veneration of saints) and hyperdulia (veneration of Mary) as is done in the Catholic church? Do they have different names than are used in the west? Thanks.

    Relationship trouble :P

    So, I've asked my friends about this, and I have a sort of plan, but would like more input. Recently, my girlfriend of 1 week broke up with me because we "didn't click". Upon further discussion, she just thought it seemed really awkward and thinks we would be better as friends...

    Will developing countries have their own "Reformation"

    Think about Mexico, Africa, etc. These are very poor countries where Bibles are not available to everyone. Once they get more developed, and Bibles both in print and online become more readily available, will we see a reformation of sorts in these countries? Or rather, it would be a mass...

    How do you feel about

    Reading the Bible online? I did that tonight because I have a pretty nasty cut on my finger and holding a book is uncomfortable. Is it different in any way? I don't think so, except maybe reading from a book is a bit more reverent to some people. What do you think?

    Bible homework

    I don't like it one bit. Now I know some people might just accuse me of being a whiny little kid who doesn't understand much of anything, let me explain. In religion class, we're studying the New Testament this semester. A good thing to be sure! But what I don't like is "read chapters x-z...
