This has been always of a great discussion among the fathers. It requires a lot of research, reading, scripture, fathers reference and at the end we might not be able to comprehend. You can probably read http://www.romanity.org/htm/rom.10.en.origin…

-The words "Not even this", referes to the reality of God, that is nature doesn't tell us about His wisdom, nature, knowledge, divinity, etc. -The same text bolded before, reads the following in my translation(On God and Christ), "But still, whate…

I think it's good to seperate faith from philosophy for the discussion purposes: FAITH SAYS -Ps 19 (and other reference in Is and Psalms), says that nature speaks about Him clearly day and night(vers 4). Nature is speaking to say that He exists. I t…

Few points I failed to mention in my previous posting: 1-The simple mind can comprehend God's existence but NOT GOD Himself. Even nature speaks of His existence, Ps 19 and others. 2-There is usually 3 approaches when we speak of this subject: A…

Read "mere Christianity" by C.S.Lewis (first few chapters). This is an eye opening. Simple and considered a classic.

-This is not related to what the Lord could do, if He was able to fast 40 days because "He wanted it", then "He did Not fast on our behalf", He would have fasted for Himself, which means He did Not need to. -This has nothing to do with Nature of C…

Peace; The church doesn't and shouldn't issue an opinion regarding every "medication/treatment/pill/birthcontrol method". But the church sets certain guideline (with a biblical base and understnading) to all sientific methods/techniques/treatments, …

-It's getting difficult to discuss one of these serious matters without getting personell...this is saad. -Anyway; the following link could be usefull for the topic. We all know that this is NOT the opinion of the Coptic Church, because the Coptic…

-The OT canon was closed aroun 300-200 B.C, this was the septugient, which contains the books that are called "second canonical", I'm sure you know the list. -The NT Canon for the Western church (mainly RC) was closed in Trent 15cent. -The NT Canon …

Marena; In my previous quote, I didn't address the aspect of judgment, we always leave it into God's hand and grace. I was just making the point that the church doesn't pray on those who died while (during the act of) committing a sin (as explained …

Just a quick comment, the church DOES NOT pray on anyone who died during committing a sin, not only suicide. Example, a person who was robbing a bank during which time he got shot and killed, another one who killed his wife because he found her in a…

the church is a place for the sinners to become saints.

What makes the answer to this question difficult is that it took all the scripture to answer it. So there isn't 1,2,3 steps for (as you probably know). Yet er have general guideline. God's grace + Proper Faith (Dogma, Sacraments, etc) + God's Grace …

read Exodus 29:3-9, Exodus 28:40-43 and many other references. It says "Aaron and his sons" not sons and daughters. It has nothing to do with clean/unclean/period/not period (this is a different issue). The commandment was clear that it was Aaron a…

Let's understand these verses in context. In the early church specially in the house worship type of church (the days of St. Paul), women and men used to sit together. Men were the more knowledgable regarding the teachings, service, etc. Women wou…

St. Macarius was blessed with great wisdom and knowledge. This man was very holy, it's said that his face would ligth in the dark and it's also said that he has some "divine/heavenly/spritual" strength. In fact a Cheroubeim used to gaurd him not a r…
