I'm curious. You keep referring to Russians as "we," but earlier I thought you said you lived in Cyprus. Am I just going crazy, or is that true?
You do know people from other nations can live in other countries. Not all brits live in the uk. Not all americans live in the us. Not all Russians live in Russia, I live in Cyprus.
Ah, that makes sense. So you are a Russian, but you live in Cyprus. That clears up everything, thank you.
Peter Pevensie, of course. Or possibly the Apostle Peter. Or Peter Piper. There are a lot of Peters.
How about Peter Dinklage? :tounge: Or Peter Jackson? :tounge: or? Peter the Great? Or Peter Rabbit? Or Peter Cushing? Or Peter pan? or Peter Capaldi? or Peter Davison? or Peter Quill? or Peter O'toole? or Peter Benjamin Parker? :tounge:

Peter Venkman, Peter the Great, Peter Cottontail, Peter Pettigrew…
He already said Peter the Great. And which Peter Pettigrew do you mean, the rat-man or the Australian football player?
I'm totally okay with the traditional Lord's Supper, but the way I read "So often as you eat the bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death" is that proclaiming Jesus' death should be a daily habit, just like eating and drinking.
As I said, though, there's nothing wrong with the traditional Lord's Supper in church, I think it's quite meaningful. But it has another meaning as well to me, which I think is quite interesting and important.
It is one of are 2 sacrements, now everyone will make a big deal about baptism but The Lord's Supper is equally important.
Yes, it is important, I agree. I was simply pointing out an alternate interpretation that I think makes a lot of sense and should also be remembered.
Well, you can have your own opinions. You don't have to have parties at all. As long as we are both saved by Jesus and fully accept His gift and our mission, then there's really no point in continuing this discussion at all. I'll see you in heaven.
And hopefully still on the MBs, too.
Um, sure, you're saying you're not going to go on with this.
That was basically my point, yes. I'm still here, still discussing these things, but it's ultimately pointless what we say about certain traditions and practices as long as we are all saved.
That was an extremely effective and polite argument. Good job.
Well, the ending could have been a bit more polite, though.
To bad it was nonsense.
I think it made a great deal of sense. The Bible doesn't tell us everything we can and can't do, (you can use the Internet, you can't play with fire), it just gives us rules and standards for right and wrong. The things the Bible specifically tells us not to do are all we need to worry about as far as sin goes. Everything else is choice. (We can also use common sense, like in the "playing with fire" example.)
Just to reiterate what someone else (Bobbywan, I think) said, Jesus compared the Kingdom of God to a mustard seed in an analogy. Pizza may not be close to as great as the Kingdom of God, but mustard seeds are even less so.
You twist my words. And I think you meant insufficient, but I'm not sure.
I did not say "if you like it." I said "If it meets the moral standards set by the Bible". My point was that the Bible IS sufficient, but not in the since of telling us about everything, (Which empirically it does not) but that it tells about about higher moral truths and standards by which we can judge everything.
And the Lord's Supper is a bad metaphor. Although, shouldn't you question the early church doing it every week(If they did, anyway) since the Bible doesn't say that? According to your line of logic, which is, however flawed. Clearly, there's nothing wrong with doing it every week, just like there's nothing wrong with musical instruments. Why? Because they do not violate anything the Bible says, but add to beauty and worship.
To restate the point(again) The Bible tells us many things to do and many things not to do. Nowhere does it say that we can't do anything it doesn't tell us to, even if it doesn't say not to do it.
That would be ridiculous. It never tells us to sit in chairs while eating, or to jump up and down on one foot, or to grill burgers or fry them, or read magazines, juggle, or close one eye and open the other, or clip our toenails, etc.
We should judge hings that are not exactly mentioned in the Bible against the standards it sets. if they do not violate the standards, and especially when they agree with those standards and help us accomplish the things the Bible tells us to do, then they are perfectly acceptable, and even extremely commendable.
Yes I did, thank you. but, who decides what's moral The Bible does. The Bible tell how to follow God, that's all we need in life.
So we don't need to worship with instruments, but there's nothing sinful about it.
You know the party that outraged the world by doing nothing about Rwanda?
The Democrats.
Sure, but a republican would do different, give me a break.
Considering the Republican is the one who went into Iraq to stop a dictator who was hurting his own people, and now is the one who is going to Syria to do the same, I think they would?

Tojo was actually appointed prime minister by the Emperor of Japan, but yeah.
I thought Tojo was a general in the Japanese Army.
He was that as well, yes.

Since almost all of your posts on pages 87-88 are pretty rude and toxic, I'm going to issue this first warning. Remember to be respectful of others' ideas and opinions. Thanks!
