I don’t have the option to use italics or bold letters anymore on iPhone.

I’m not liking the profile stats or info above every post. It’s a lot of wasted space an unnecessary information on the screen that just clutters the discussions. I liked it better when we had to click on the person’s name to see all this info instead of it constantly being displayed on every...

I’m noticing a lot of people having a problem with all mankind being a descendant of Adam & Eve because it would imply that their children would’ve had to engage in incest in order to populate the world and also the fact that Cain settled in the city of Nod and got married so people often ask...

I just turned on the TV to see an elderly white haired man named Charlie Crist quoting Jesus’ words from Matthew 7:12 in support of abortion. He said that growing up in a family with 3 sisters he learned to respect women and we should “do unto others as you would have them do unto you”. As I...

I notice that in the Roman Catholic Catechism Matthew 12:32-36 is used as evidence to support forgiveness of sin in the age to come which refers to after this world. Here’s a quote directly from the Catechism. The tradition of the Church, by reference to certain texts of Scripture, speaks of a...

I just found out the day before yesterday that USCIS is requiring all immigrants 5 years old and up who are applying for adjustment of status to be vaccinated for COVID. So I had to take my wife and two daughters to be vaccinated otherwise we would not be able to complete their adjustment of...

With all the mass shootings going on lately I think this is a good idea because there are roughly 840 to every 100,000 people who are incarcerated in Texas. That’s .84% of the population which means there are 99 law abiding citizens to every 1 criminal. So if only 2% of Texans exercised their...

I’ve been trying to find out how I can apply for a religious exemption from the COVID vaccination mandate, I’m wondering if anyone has any information on how to go about this process. I’m not interested in debating if someone likes it or not or if they think religious mandates shouldn’t be...

I’m a bit embarrassed to say that I haven’t noticed this before but it’s just recently been brought to my attention that both Matthew and John are mentioned in the third person in their respective gospel accounts. I’m curious why they might do this. Anyone have any ideas?

Eastern Orthodox Replies Only Please First I’d just like to state that this is not a debate between different denominations. I created this thread to ask my fellow brothers & sisters in the EOC what the church’s stance is on the outpouring of God’s grace is. What is the official stance, if...

Hi brothers & sisters, I’m trying to understand how Iranaeus’ statements in Adversus Haereses doesn’t contradict the canons of the councils of Carthage 418 and Orange or if perhaps they do contradict these councils and are considered as heretical statements by the church. I think my main...

I’m going to try to keep the OP short and to the point and I will kindly ask that everyone please just stick to the topic of the thread. We’re not here to interpret scriptures, we can go round and round all day and never accomplish anything that way because everyone has their own opinions on...

“No one has ascended into heaven, but He who descended from heaven: the Son of Man.” ‭‭John‬ ‭3:13‬ ‭NASB‬‬ When did this take place?

im curious if the EO’s official position of faith and works is that works do play some sort of role in our salvation. I do believe that works are necessary for salvation, given the individual has the ability to do them, but I’m reluctant to say that the works themselves actually play a role in...

I’ve recently seen another aspect of Revelation 13:8 and Revelation 17:8 that I think is interesting and I’m curious about the EO’s view on this. A person explained to me that the names written in the book of life before creation could be referring to an elect group that was chosen by God who...

I’ve recently seen another aspect of Revelation 17:8 that I think is interesting and I’m curious about the EO’s view on this. A person explained to me that the names written in the book of life before creation could be referring to an elect group that was chosen by God who would undoubtedly...

Brother Mario was found unconscious this morning and rushed to the hospital. He is ungoing surgery right now bleeding inside his brain. Please pray for him and his family that he will have a full and speedy recovery if it is God’s will. Also please pray for sister Josie and her family for...

Hello brothers & sisters in Christ. There have been so many threads on faith and works and I’ve noticed that in these discussions one thing that often gets overlooked and is very rarely mentioned which I believe is at the very root of salvation and works which is love for others. What really...

Just wanted to get some last minute prayers in for brother Manny Pacquiao before his fight tonight. Thanks & God bless:)

I’m kind of embarrassed to say this but I’m actually having trouble finding actual conclusive Greek text that without a doubt proves that Jesus is God. I am a Trinitarian but recently in a debate with Jehovah’s Witnesses when I began searching for conclusive evidence that Jesus is God in the...
