Well, that's convenient, isn't it?Originally posted by zuchick
The Orthodox Christians believe one is Born Again each and everytime they Confess and Repent their sins, known and unknown.
Yes. I'm not a person who would blindly follow any religion or political party. Orthodoxy means you do just that - blindly follow without questioning. Your religious leaders do your thinking for you, then tell you what to regurgitate when someone else questions you.Originally posted by zuchick
Vrai, you signature line says, "Orthodoxy means not thinking -- not needing to think." Do you actually believe that?
If you stop screwing up, what's there to repent??Originally posted by zuchick
But who can live a proper honest life without Repentance?

Zuchick... I think maybe you need to step back and rethink your approach.
First, when I logged in this afternoon I saw two of your posts side by side. First, this one. Second, "My Ignore List." Interesting to say the least.
If you are trying to lead God's people - but you exclude the "gentiles" or unbelievers, then you are swimming upstream and fighting a losing battle.
This causes those of us who cherish God to question your motives.
If you never ever listen to another thing I say...please listen to this. You cannot lead people to God when you do not live the way that God commands.
This "jam it down your throat approach" Is turning many, who are sitting on the fence away from God. You will be held responsible for this at judgement.
I try very hard to look into the hearts of others and understand that God loves every single one of us. None is above the other.
Stop force feeding God and join our family. Once you get to know us... You'll find ton's of opportunity to lovingly talk about God.
Right now you are placing your eternity in jepordy. I know you don't see it.

Kain, he already said he was a sinner and that as long as he says he's sorry every day, God will still give him Grace.
What good is it to repent unknown sins. You said once before that if you confess, while in your heart, you know you will commit the same sin again, you are lying before God. On the same token, how can you repent a sin you didn't know was a sin. In all likelihood, you will commit that sin again through ignorance. How can you repent of something you didn't know was wrong when you didn't feel the wrongness of it?Originally posted by zuchick

Apparently the irony of these two statements is lost on you. And you might want to get a dictionary and look up "orthodox". Unless your religion lets you make up meanings of words, too.Originally posted by zuchick
No one is asking you to be Blindly Lead.
No Orthodox is the Greek Word that means Correct Belief.
Like CMac, said - I was already born once. That was enough.Are you Born again and if so, what does it mean to you?

Zuchick.... I'll take it that you're thinking about what I said.
I guess I am...... Have you ever seen Crabcakes DQ do her " Your doing way to much of this...and not enough of that" schtick?Originally posted by justhangn

Does this mean that you are listening to me....or that I should be listening to you.Originally posted by zuchick
Kain99, only a fool ignores wisdom.
Don't worry, they are begining to learn the word loathe.....allow me........Originally posted by zuchick
I think you misunderstand what I am doing.. I am merely promoting an understanding of the Orthodoxy. I realize I can not lead anyone to God.. The best I can ever hope to do is to sow the seeds and rely upon the Lord for Growth..
And for me to do anything different then what I am doing is like asking the Sky to change from Blue to another color. It is what I am.
And as Christ said, many will be called, but only a few will be choosen. Those who are the most vocal are the ones who are beyond anything I can do for them assuming I ever could.. It is those who are silent that concern me the most.
