    If God asked you to kill someone from another group, would you?

    No. God would not ask that as it would be against the Gospel. Galatians 1:8 is in effect.

    Really Smart Consumer Protection Law planned in the UK

    Ah but in that case, just send in Darth Tyrannus to zap them with force lightning. ;) Your cynicism is noted, but one major aspect of the UK policy which I really like will be to name and shame offenders, in addition to taking legal action.

    Copts are Orthodox too

    Just so you know, Assyrians and Syriac Orthodox get along very well. Its mainly the Copts and Assyrians who dislike each other alas. :( Here is a photo of HH Mor Ignatius Zakka Iwas of blessed memory meeting with HH Mar Dinkha IV of blessed memory: I think the war in Syria and Iraq killed...

    The physical death of Jesus

    In Orthodoxy, we believe He descended into Hades, and freed those souls entrapped therein allowing them to ascend. This is why there is the phrase in the Apostles Creed of the Roman Catholic and Anglican churches "He descended into Hell"

    Mary - Christian Prototype

    God bless you. Let me begin by saying I love you and really enjoy debating with you, and I apologize if I have caused you any consternation. I was not "lecturing you" on the rules of the GT, nor even posting a formal rules reminder Mod Hat, but simply posting a friendly suggestion you that you...

    Mary - Christian Prototype

    No; if we study the meaning of prosopon, it becomes clear that the word is much subtler than "face." One only has a prosopon if one person can behold another person. In other words, I am only a person because I can look into your eyes and relate to you as a person, and vice versa. Monkeys are...

    Mary - Christian Prototype

    Now, to resume our debate: The New Testament was originally composed in Greek, and to properly understand the concept of Personhood, or indeed, many orher concepts expressed in the Scriptural text, we must go back to the Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic manuscripts and understand how these words were...

    Mary - Christian Prototype

    @AnticipateHisComing The following is an informal rule reminder only, since in our discussion of personhood we are approaching the boundaries of Nicene Christian theology. The word person used to describe the members of the Holy Trinity is not an analogy; there are literally three persons in...

    Mary - Christian Prototype

    Giving birth to Jesus is a spiritual act, because Jesus was conceived miraculously by the Holy Spirit, and was perfectly man and perfectly God simultaneously. It is written in sacred Scripture that God is a Spirit. Thus, giving birth to God is spiritual as well as physical. God, in His...

    Mary - Christian Prototype

    On the contrary, it explains the reason why we bless St. Mary is because of her obedience to the Word. Giving birth to God and risking death for adultery under the Jewish law is the ultimate act of obedience.

    Mary - Christian Prototype

    The Mormons usually use the KJV. We do ignore the Book of Mormon, which is weitten in a faux-Jacobean style that is anachronistic and has the effect of basically disproving Mormon claims as to its authenticity. The JWs do have their own translation, which really blatantly tampers with...

    Mary - Christian Prototype

    Actually our central doctrines, the Eucharist, Baptism, and indeed the idea of the infallibility and unity of the Church are all based on dominical statements. Matthew 28:19, 1 Corinthians 11, Matthew 18:16 and John 31:6 are at the heart of everything we do. The reality is that our Lord did...

    Mary - Christian Prototype

    It's not, and we are drifting off topic, however I would pbserve wryly that your basis for believing in sola scriptura is not a scriptural passage but an argument from reason. I don't want to argue about St. Mary on sola scriptura terms, because I don't believe in sola scriptura (in part...

    Sola Scriptura itself is not scriptural.
