    Infant Baptism and the Atonement

    Hey all, After a long hiatus from this board, a friend asked me to check out this thread, and I couldn't resist just putting in my two cents. First, we must remember that with the first transgression, and Ancestral sin, the law of sin (Romans 7:18, 7:22-23), began to take root in him and...

    The Ever Virginity of Mary

    Hey all, any room on this thread for a blabbermouth? :) I'm going to try to keep this as short as possible, and I'm going to try to not repeat what has already been said. Then I'm just going to pose some questions to consider. First, let me state that as an Orthodox Christian, like...

    Did the True Church Apostasized?

    nutshell and Katzpur, You both put forth the suggestion (Katzpur with the quote from the RC, and nutshelll with his question), that aside from Roman Catholicism, it is Mormonism that has a claim to the priesthood. Orthodox Christianity has an unbroken succession of bishops that goes in an...

    Did the True Church Apostasized?

    Moreover to agree that the True Church apostasized is to say that there is no True Church. This is something that not even LDS with any sense would argue. Surely you all are LDS because you believe it is the True Church. If this is so, how could you possibly agree that the True Church has...

    Did the True Church Apostasized?

    Okay, let's get a few things straight. St. Paul predicted an apostasy, certainly, and we live in times of St. Paul's apostasy, when vain men and women don't want to heed the sound doctrine of the Church, but rather heap up to themselves their own teachers, their own fables. St. Paul believed...

    Did the True Church Apostasized?

    Did the True Church Apostasize? I think that is an oxymoron! Truly, if a Church is the True Church, how can it be called an apostate Church. It is True particularly because it is NOT Apostate, because it has not altered the Apostolic Tradition which it received. To suggest that Christ's...

    Catholic Church has never Changed doctrine.

    Just a little correction, I meant to say that Catholics propose the same thing, not "oppose" it. Wrong word, sorry Ted

    Catholic Church has never Changed doctrine.

    I think James hit the nail on the head. When chatting with Roman Catholics, either on forums such as this one, or in an online chat, how many times have I been told (by some, not all, and I surely don't blame them for saying it) that Eastern Orthodox aren't "interested" in union, because I tell...

    Wow, that just speaks volumes to me.

    Catholic Church has never Changed doctrine.

    James, Thank-you for the excellent reply. You speak with honesty and with truth, and as we are told, very often those aren't two things that everyone can appreciate and accept. I, personally, agree that that is the Orthodox faith that you have just presented. No bishop is ever thought...

    Catholic Church has never Changed doctrine.

    Hey all, Perhaps someone can tell me how a pope, by virtue of his office alone, and not necessarily required to have the Church's sanction, can speak infallibly on faith and morals to the Church, when he can have personal heresy in faith and morals? Does this not seem absolutely DANGEROUS...

    Christ is in our Midst! How's everybody doing? I'm new here, my name is Theodore, but most call me Ted. I think I may know some of you already from other forums. If I do, I'm sorry for intruding yet another space with my big mouth! To those who don't know me yet, I look forward to getting...
