Girlfriend got pregnant by some other guy and then you forced her to

Original sin is the substrate, the raison d'etre of Christianity.
Can you please cease and desist from making a complete a## of yourself
by spreading such lies and BS?
Original sin is *central* in Orthodoxy.
Nicolas
GET AN EDUCATION YOU IDIOT.
You are NOT Orthodox so DON'T pontificate to people who are about original
sin which is NOT and NEVER has been part of Orthodoxy. You have been living
with Romans Catholics for far to long.
Orthodox Christians believe that you are born FREE OF SIN. Stop trying to
mislead people and convert them to Roman Catholicism.
In the 6th Decree of the Synod of Jerusalem (AD 1692) the Patriarchs of
the Orthodox Church affirm that "We believe the first man created by God
(Adam) to have fallen in Paradise, when, disregarding the Divine
Commandment, he yielded to the deceitful counsel of the serpent (Satan).
And hence hereditary sin flowed to his posterity; so that none is born
after the flesh who beareth not this burden, and experienceth not the
fruits thereof in this present world. But by these fruits and this
burden we do not understand (actual) sin, such as impiety, blasphemy,
murder, sodomy, adultery, fornication, enmity, and whatsoever else is by
our depraved choice committed contrarily to the Divine Will, not from
nature; for many both of the Forefathers and of the Prophets, and vast
numbers of others, as well as those under the shadow (of the Law), as
under the truth (the Gospel), such as the divine Forerunner, and
especially the Mother of God the Word, the ever-virgin Mary, experienced
not these, or such like faults; but only what the Divine Justice
inflicted upon man as punishment for the (original) transgression, such
as sweats in labor, afflictions, bodily sicknesses, pains in
childbearing, and while on our (earthly) pilgrimage to live a laborious
life, and lastly, bodily death." What does all of this mean? Since Adam
alone committed the "original sin" (or, more properly, the "ancestral
sin"), he alone bears the guilt for that sin. However, the consequences
of that first sin -- e.g., sickness, pain, death -- and most especially
the allpowerful propensity to sin, is inherited by all of his
descendants. Roman Catholics, on the other hand, believe that we are all
born sinners, guilty of Adam's sin from our very conception in the womb.
http://www.antiochian.org/1311
Concerning the second passage -- from the Toronto Metropolis' web site -- it
would probably have been clearer to the reader had the sentence read as
follows: "Worst of all, the consequences of the original sin are hereditary.
It did not remain only Adam and Eve's." I am not sure that there is any
conflict whatsoever; rather, the second passage needs to be clarified.
Finally, the "Orthodox canons" are not statements of doctrine; rather, they
are the "canon laws" drafted by the early Church councils. Canons deal with
Church discipline and order, not with doctrine. They are found in the
proceedings of the seven ecumenical councils and the local councils of the
early Church. If by asking "if the Orthodox canons are published and
available for purchase" you refer to Canon Law, please let me know, and I
will direct you to places where you can purchase them. If you are interested
in doctrinal material, however, collections of canons would not contain the
fundamental teachings of the faith.

Here is what you do. First, make up your mind that you will be honest in
your search. The only person you will be fooling if you are dishonest is
yourself. Second, if you want to hold yourself out as a non-believer, that's
fine. You needn't tell anyone that you have proven to yourself that God does
exist.
Once you have made those committments, simply do this. Think back over your
life and see if you can remember a time when you had an original thought or
idea. Be honest now. Where did that thought or idea come from? Many will say
that it came from something they heard maybe subconsciously, or had heard
and forgotten or some other spin to validate their preconceived notion to
deny Gods existance. But, if they are honest, they will continue to ask the
question "where did that idea come from" until they have rationalized it
back to the beginning of time. After all it had to start somewhere. And when
you get there, that's God.

No. If you read the bible you will realise that its God is the Pharaoh of

Since the Greek Gods were all kings or heroes from the Minoan and Mycenaean
periods who the Greeks defied and worshiped you can visit Greece and see the
temples and palaces they built. Alexander the Great was a God and none
doubts he existed. Julius Caesar was a God as was Augustus and they were
real so lots of Gods exist.

Egypt was ruled by more than one Pharaoh at the time. According to Manetho
Lower Egypt was ruled by Amenemses (Amenophis) who then fled to Ethiopia
when the Jews sacked Memphis and Ethiopia was ruled by another Pharaoh
(Mernepta) who owed him a favour. There was also one more Pharaoh around at
the same time (1200 BC) according to Herodotus, Proetus (Setnakte) the
father of Ramses III. The God of Moses was Setnakte since the God of Joshua
was obviously Ramses III who saked Palestine at the same time that Joshua
genocided the people of Jericho (1275 BC) a generation before the bible
mentions that God ie. Pharaoh gave the rule of Palestine to Assur-Risilim
(the father of Tiglath Pilesar) the king of Assyria. After all who else
could give Palestine to the Assyrians except the king of Egypt since Egypt
ruled Palestine at the time. Further on Jeremiah says that Pharaoh Necho
ruled Palestine and two paragraphs later says the LORD gave the land to
Nebuchadnezzar. Obviously someone changed Necho in the original text of the
bible to YHWH ie. LORD.

A fear of proving to oneself the existance of God is understandable. It
takes away the notion one is in control of their destiny and many people
just can't accept that. The facade is easily discovered.
Did they worship Poseidon ? I dont think so. If they had they would have
built him an offering of an early warning system and made financial
sacrifices to keep it running. As Aesop says, the Gods only help those who
help themseves.
Which God are you referring to ?

FYI, 5.5 is double the strength of 5.2, while 5.8 is four times the
strength of 5.2. Also don't forget that the quake in Turkey struck at a
time when everybody was asleep and struck a densely populated area.

Poseidon must have a weak spot for those Scandinavians - hardly ever a quake
that is strong enough to be felt. No big waves a la tsunami either.
Is this because Poseidon is worshipped so greatly in Scandinavia, Agamemnon?

Hey 'Ann-Ri, I see you are UP!!! Scandinavia is TOO COLD for Poseidon. Or

The world is a scary and dangerous place; accidents, illness, death. The
mentally weak use fairy tales, superstitions and imaginary super beings they
feel they can petition with prayer as a coping mechanism despite the fact
that mountains of evidence contradict that notion. Reality is a scary thing
and some people just refuse delivery.
Not of the flesh? But you said "his" children. So that means "he's" male,
right? If god is male that means "he" is an animal presumably a human
animal, right? And if he had children I guess that means he had sex. Who did
he have sex with? Human animals can only live on planet earth since we need
air, water & food, right? So where do you suppose he is in a cave in
Afghanistan somewhere?

You're trying to reason with the unreasonable, the irrational. It's
hopeless. No amount of reason gets thru to the mentally ill because religion
itself is a mental illness. You are required to believe in superstitions and
imaginary beings for which there is not a shred of evidence. That's pretty
much a definition of mental illness.
Well, there you go, concrete scientific proof, what more do you need?
Anyway, that should prove that He exists, even if he does not want to may
you rich for some reason. And, he has his reasons. No one likes a rich
smart ass.
