re: Are boat launches some of the most comical places on earth?
Posted by SeraphimSarov on 5/7/24 at 11:35 am
At this same launch, I forgot to put my plug into my boat prior to launching while my wife drove off with the trailer. Thank GOD a kind fella took over from my wife, jumped in my truck and backed down so I could load up to drain it.
Embarrassing but a good hard lesson learned and great to meet th...

[quote]Constantine found those gathered together, the first churches, and became a Christian, therefore Rome never fell, it became the Catholic Church.[/quote]

Glory be to God!
It is truly awesome to see you listening to the call of God on your soul.
It’s been a long journey for my wife and I and we have grown greatly in Christ through learning humility, repentance and to forsake ourselves for Him.
Orthodoxy is the fullness of the Faith. It mean...

When James Carville gets on TV while wearing LSU gear while he uses profanity and vitriol to disparage Trump, etc. is Carville representing LSU? No, and no one would imply same even though it’s unseemly.
If one could actually identify what the Church is, then they would also NOT equate the action...

[quote]Um... so anyone who isn't catholic isn't a member of a Church?[/quote]
You misunderstood sir. The word Catholic, in the context of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ means the following:

The Gospels and Epistles were not written in Hebrew nor Aramaic but in Koine Greek.
The Greek word used often is ecclesia / ekklesia which means a gathering, an assembly.
That is the word used in the New Testament to describe Christian liturgical experience.
“Individual Christians of the...

Thank you for the question.
I don’t “follow” nor belong to any denomination.
I worship the Father, Son and Holy Spirit in God’s “one, holy, catholic and apostolic” Holy Orthodox Church.
