Rev DW Embry Interesting to hear from you Rev. I;m a member of United Grand Lodge of England and we don't go up through all the 33 Scottish degrees or the York degrees in the same way, though we do have the Ancient and Accepted Rite. I'm a Fellowcraft Mason at the moment but hoping to be...

Matthew 26:29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom

Not all Anglo-Catholics seek reunion iwht Rome because if they did they would all be Roman Catholics by now wouldn't they? You made quite a sweeping statement there because there really are varying degreess depending on the congregation. Basically I often find that I ahve more in common with...

"Et in Spiritum Sanctum Dominum vivificantem, qui patris et fillioque proecedit et qui cum patris et fillio simul adoratur et conglorificatur." A couple of years ago I went to an Antiochan Orthodox Divine Liturgy, it was the most beautiful and uplifting Church service I have ever attended...

Catholic Crusader It's nice to hjear from someone else on the forum whoes chruchmanship is similar to my own. Being an Anglo-Catholic (High Anglican) I share much of the doctrines of the Roman Church and consider that the Anglican Communion, especially the Church of England through "Branch...

Yes; Catholics and to a lesser extent other Christians do make use of other writings , considering that they too were guided by the Holy Spirit, a good example would be the Creeds. What I say to Evangelicals who will dismiss anything that is not in the scriptures is two things. 1. Don't forget...

OK, but the answer does not ahve to have bearing on anything that needs to be done right. That doesn't mean we can't discuss it.

Neither does Creation since how litterally you take Genesis doesn't ahve anything to do with wether you are a good Christian or not. We don't know when the world will end; it might be toay, tomorrow or in 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000 years, so for now life goes on. Personally I...

I suppose it is only right that we should assume they will be there. They knew God because they lived with him in his presence in Eded. They would have repented for disobeying God and wanted to be with him again.

Yes, Lillith is a symbol for some feminists. She was proud and headstrong and wouldn't be dominated by a man.

I thought the whole point of speaking in tongues was that you couldn't learn it. Just out of interest; do you think there are people who fake it? How do you know when it is real?

I have recieved the spirit of God. I know many people who've never spoken in tongues, so does that mean we'll go to hell? Trust me I've esperienced the Holy spirit during services, during the laying on of hands at my Confirmation and in the Blessed sacrament. I can mjsut imagine standing at...

i believe one Holy Catholic and Apostolic church. Credo in unun sanctam catholicam et apostolicam ecclasiam. This comes from theNiceane Creed and it does not only refer to Roman Catholicism but the whole Eccumenical church and stressed Christian unity. According to branch theory I (an...

I've never seen anyone speak in tongues (apart from on TV and they were all charismatics), but our last Parish Priest was an Evangelical and she (yes she) said she'd seen Anglicans/Episcopalians speak in tongues. I recognise it as a gift of the spirit bt why can't I do it? Matthew 16:13-19...

Your right Mike. It's easy to get carried away what with films like the Exorcist.The devil would like us to think that foaming at the mouth and screaming is the only manifestation ofposession, but like you said it can just be the planting of thoughts that if not dealt with can lead one astray...

I'm sorry i hadn't reay the thread thoroughley. My last comment ws a suggestion for if you were to attempt to rebuke a demon, but exorcisms are another matter and should not be taken lightly. If the problem is the rsult of a demon then to cast it out in Jesus' name (or the Trinity) is the...

Have you considered Holy water? When Christianity was introduced to the pagan Anglo-Saxons during the 7th century, the missionairies were told to drive the evil spirits from the old temples with prayer and holy water. Also, you could use a consecrated waifer, nothing that coms from the devil...

If your chuch meets at a community hall then surely it is just one of several groups that meet there. It doesn't have the right to stop you unless it owns the building. In the UK some churches don't like Yoga and Tai chi to be taught in their halls, which is fine, that's up to them it is their...

I don't participate in any aspect of Easter that is not a church service.

What worries me is that the congregations are aging and there just aren't people ther to take their place. This is mopre or less accross the board although the inlfux of Poles has given the Catholic church a boost and the non-denominationals are doing Ok in some cities, but overall church...
