Re: Primer on the Trinity - a Classical Perspective

A side note..... The seven gifts of the Holy Spirit The Catechism of the Catholic Church presents the seven gifts as follows:[13] 1. wisdom: it is the capacity to love spiritual things more than material ones; 2. understanding: in understanding, we comprehend how we need to live as followers of Chri...

Re: *GRACE*

(source: http://www.kerysso.org/public/undergrace.htm) What does it mean to be ‘under grace’? When we speak about being ‘under grace’ we refer to the New Covenant. To understand the necessity for the New Covenant, we must first understand God’s intent in the Old covenant. Let me explain this as simp...

Re: When Did Adam Live?

As for Adam and Eve, I might add Conclusion 5 to Dave's post - i.e., the story is allegorical or is symbolic of a spiritual event. My personal take on "Conclusion 5" is that Adam and Eve were historical people who existed in Mesopotamia somewhere around 5000 to 6000 BC. My belief in the h...

Re: When Did Adam Live?

So...are Adam & Eve's children archetypes as well? What would they represent? Why would God give archetypes personal names? FL y:-? Probably because of the same reason he gives 'Satan' a single name, each 'Archangel' a single name, 'Christ' a single name etc., even though they can express thems...

Re: When Did Adam Live?

So, I guess Noah's flood was either localized or many others were able to float around and survive (the fiction story 'Life if Pi' comes to mind). As for Adam and Eve, I might add Conclusion 5 to Dave's post - i.e., the story is allegorical or is symbolic of a spiritual event. . . . . . . (Why could...

Re: When Did Adam Live?

Hi Dave, You just reminded me of another question I'd like to add to your post. If Noah's flood was around 2400 BC, this would imply that the human population would have to double every 100 years or so for the world to end up with about 7 billion people of today. This assumes Noah and his family wer...

Re: Any questions about JWs I will answer it

About 900 JW's die every year due to refusing a blood transfusion......

http://www.krev.info/library/pocetumrti.pdf.

Recently, a pregnant woman refused a blood transfusion resulting in the woman and baby dying. Sad.

I hope there are no 'JW Hospitals' in existence.

Re: Christians should not eat meat

Be more concerned with what comes out of your mouth......not what goes in it. "Food doesn't go into your heart, but only passes through the stomach and then goes into the sewer." (By saying this, he declared that every kind of food is acceptable in God's eyes.) (Mark 7:19) "And then ...

Re: Hebrew Roots Movement

It would be good to make a list of these "cults" and use it to warn others. As most of you know, they use bait-and-switch sales tactics and apply it to religion - ie. a version of the classic con-artist. cult leader: "We promise you salvation" potential member: "Ok, I'll joi...

Re: new study on nde's says they are real

I've been thinking that a soul and spirit are different. But, I also think it's possible that a human soul and spirit are part of the same "thing". Like some animals have a soul. But maybe humans have a soul which includes a spirit. Just not sure. There is plenty of info available on the ...

Q. Why don't JW's celebrate halloween ?

A. Because they don't like strangers constantly knocking on their front door.
