Re: Jehovah witnesses. Any religion that stipulates no birthday celebration just plain freaks me out.

Salaam, MW Yeah, it really can be confusing to all of us, no doubt. It took me a longggggg time to figure it out. I guess it was more of an aspect of himself (but 100% God and 100% man), meaning it's still just God, but as someone else said, we are kind of dabbling in the " mysteries "...

The tyranny is in the government of Israel, not in God.

I'm well aware of that. We aren't praying " through " anything. Point blank.

" God owns it all so let's support tyranny right now! "

Okay, non-trinitarians are just going to make everything so much more confusing. Anyone proclaiming to be Christian but saying that Jesus isn't God simply isn't Christian. This is how it is, Jesus is God, so there is no middle man. The father, the son, and the holy spirit, all together...

Of course I would like to have been there for the life of Jesus, and at his resurrection so I could see an actual angel as well. But, I would like to have been in Constantinople in 1054 during the final Schism between what is now Roman Catholicism and the Orthodox Church. I bet that was a...

Except that back in those days Christmas was on January 7th because they still used the Julian calendar.....

I wonder if those Evangelicals realize that they can't even own land in their own holy land that they are raising cash for....

Who actually hates Gypsies?! How could you hate them....they're just so versatile.

You didn't bother to read my entire post did you.... >_>

It sometimes upsets me that some people regard Christians as not having to work at their faith that we just get a free ride to heaven, so to speak. Faith without good works is dead. They work hand in hand. You cannot have faith without good works. The point is that we do not get a free ride...

When you are a Christian, it doesn't matter who you inflict your sin on, it's equivalent. If I went out today and committed a sin against another Christian, a Muslim, a Jew, an Athiest, a Hindu, a whatever, it would be equivalent no matter WHAT that person was. There is no " not caring so...

And, on the issue of prayers to the Virgin Mary, the saints, and the angels. When you pray to the Virgin Mary, the saints, and the angels, you are simply asking them to pray to God on your behalf, sort of like putting in a good word for you. The prayers of the righteous are very important in...

Orthodox Christians and Catholics DO NOT worship statues. We (Orthodox) do use icons to focus our prayer towards God, we show respect to what they (icons) represent, but we do not " worship " them. This is a common misinterpretation. Worship is due to God and God alone. The relics of saints...
