This line means that it is Part of the Bible it doesn't matter who wrote it. It’s still cannon. Similarly the last five chapters of Jeremiah weren’t written by him nor are they even his prophecies but that doesn't change their status as biblical text. However if you really need a Verse...

there should be a space between Chalcedon and on sorry. http://www.ewtn.com/expert/answers/catholic_rites_and_churches.htm Also don't know why the link to thi webiste didn't work in the first post. I also would like to say that there is a big effort to reunify these churches and many...

I'm going to respond to this first. I mistakenly referred to the Malankara (Indian) Orthodox Church as the Oriental Orthodox. The Oriental Orthodox is a group that contains six Orthodox Churches. It contains both the Coptic and the Malankara (Indian) Orthodox Churches. They have...

Well some eastern churches are Catholic and some are Eastern orthodox and some are Coptic Orthodox and some are Oriental Orthodox. But all of the different churches within each of these sects have the same doctrines but simply different style ceremonies called rites. Some of the rites are...

Ok Let me explain what Paul is saying Philippians. He is saying that anyone who thinks that they can be saved by simply following the law with out the faith to back it up is a fool. He says that he used to do this and consider himself Holy because of his heritage. However He says that what...

Re: Regarding Celibacy What Christ is saying here and how it has been interpreted through the ages is that some people can't get married because they where born a eunuch some people can't get married because they where mutilated in a way that caused them not to be able to be married. And...

They believe similarly to Catholics that we are saved through Grace. Grace is received through Faith but Faith without works is dead. As clearly stated in the book of James. So the Orthodox believe that you can have faith and it won't get you any Grace because you don't act on that faith...

Also even though Christ wasn't referring to actual eunuchs in the latter half of his statement above. He as the fulfillment of the new covenant does away with such segregation when he tells his disciples to make followers of all people.

Paul in the verses following what you quoted states that the things mentioned above are a loss this includes his status as a Pharisee. Furthermore being a Pharisee was belonging to a sect of Judaism if he started following another he obviously stopped his previous. That is like saying this...

Jesus doesn't mean a literal eunuch he is referring to someone who doesn't marry. Also He says that if a man can stand not being married let him. He that is able to receive [it], let him receive [it] Paul says if a man can be celibate to do it. SO they are at one with each others teachings on...

Hi, the orthodox differences with Catholicism are mostly authoritative. They believe that each of the five Patriarchs are equal; with the pope as first among equals while Catholics view the Pope as just first. There are a few theological differences. They don’t believe that we are guilty of...

I'd just like to point out that the rate of those who molest children in the Catholic clergy is about the same as most other sects and religions. We are unfairly singled out because of our size and how much we stand out in society. Celibacy really has nothing to do with it and most protestant...

I don't know what the difference is when it comes to capitalization. "Son of man" is a title given to the messiah in Daniel. Can you give us an example of when it is capitalized and when it isn’t?

Yeah Marsh I think you off on this one. Anyway back to the original point about wither or not Jesus is only human. In Luke 10:18 Jesus claims to have seen Satan fall. The angels fell before humans were created so if Jesus was a mere human this would be impossible thus he must have more...

It has nothing to do with it. But it shows that Jesus also condoned Celibacy for those who could handle it and said they would be rewarded for it. And if Jesus condoned it you can't get mad a Paul for doing the same. Also once again you don't understand what an apostle is. He was sent by...

Ok I haven't read this whole thread but I'd just like to say that this argument has no basis because Jesus says In Mathew 19:11-12: "All men take not this word, but they to whom it is given. For there are eunuchs, who were born so from their mother's womb: and there are eunuchs, who were...

Re: Twelve apostles for twelve tribes, no room for Paul hey are referred to as the twelve because there where twelve of them at the time and Paul never claimed to be one of the twelve that would judge the tribes of Israel. Also when Judas killed himself they where referred to as the eleven you...

He never say he's not God. He is a ttempting to get the man to figure it out. TO say I call you good because you are God. That was Jesus's biggest thing was to get the Jews to belive in him not by miricles not by blunt statments that he was God but by faith. he wanted to see if this man had...

[/size][/font] I'd like to clarify that Jesus isn't God's first creation. Jesus is begotten by the father not created by him. Jesus has always existed. He is “God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father." God spoke things into creation...

Ok First I understand that you like 'the Pauline conspiracy' but could you please just give us an example from it that shows contradictory. Also an apostle is someone who was sent directly by Christ to spread the good news. Christ called paul to in a vision thus he's an apostle. When this...
