Jude1:3

Show me the verse in the Bible where God says He hates cowards verbatim. You posted that the "cowardly" will have their place in the lake of fire but it never says that "God Hates Cowards".

I know what you mean. Those were the scriptures that I would read and bring up in reference to that subject. I read somewhere on an Orthodox site that said it could have been referring to Joseph's children from a different marriage or even Jesus's Cousins. It's really a non issue for me personally. I can believe either view really.

No, I Reject doctrines of devils promoted by Masonic Tares Among The Wheat.

God wouldn't hold humans responsible for their choices, sins and actions if they didn't have a choice. Calvinism is a Doctrine of Devils from hell and the deceived and closet occultists are the ones that promote and hold to this view.

False. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you..... • James 4:8 Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. • Jeremiah 29:12-13 Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion. •Hebrews 3:15 God knows the choice we will make, but We don't know the choice we will make. There in lies the free will. God gets all the glory for drawing us and saving us and yet we still have a choice.

This is ridiculous. God wouldn't hold people accountable for their acceptance or rejection of The Gospel if they didn't have a choice. Calvinism is Heretical Garbage. Wake Up.

I don't believe Matt Slick is even really a Christian. He's a Deceiver and a Heretic.

I genuinely believe that this is why they have 1 Enoch as part of their Canon of Scriptures because they have a Pre Christian Connection to Judaism and The Temple through Queen Sheba and also the Eunuch in Acts 8.

From what I found it looks like they hold to "Miaphysitism" - that the person of Jesus Christ, Divine nature and Human nature are united (μία, mia - "one" or "unity") in a compound nature ("physis"), the two being united without separation, without mixture, without confusion, and without alteration. Miaphysitism is not Monophysitism and the Monophysite churches are not Miaphysite. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miaphysitism

Thanks for making this Thread. Here's some info that I posted about The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church : The Ethiopians had ties to Judaism through Queen Sheba and King Solomon.(1 Kings 10) The first Ethiopian Christian is recorded in Acts 8:26-38 when the Ethiopian Eunuch is baptized by Phillip. According to Wikipedia they were administratively part of the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria from the first half of the 4th century until 1959. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oriental_Orthodoxy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethiopian_Orthodox_Tewahedo_Church http://www.ethiopianorthodox.org/english/canonical/books.html

Sometimes I think if I was to ever fully commit to an Orthodox Christian Church it would be to an Oriental Orthodox Church like The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church since they were not apart of the Seventh Ecunemical Council. One thing is for sure, If a person believes The Nicene and Apostles' Creed They are My Brother or Sister in Christ. Thanks again for making this club. Church History Is So Badly Needed Today. Most of The Church is Completely Ignorant of Even Basic Church History. It's just sad.

The most challenging Council for me is the The Seventh Ecumenical Council. (787 A.D) I like Icons and I think they are cool. I don't think there is anything wrong with Icons in of themselves but Icon Veneration makes me cringe. I don't even know how to explain it fully what I mean. The thought of bowing to and kissing a picture makes me cringe. I just can't do it. It's one of the things that keeps me from fully committing to Eastern Orthodoxy. • I love making the sign of The Cross • I can easily believe in the real presence of Yeshua Messiah in The Eucharist. • I can easily believe that Mother Mary remained a virgin her whole life. I just can't get past icon Veneration. I mean no disrespect whatsoever to Orthodox Christians on the site. This is just my personal thoughts.

So True. It's Especially true if you reveal the truth about what The Scriptures say about: • The Shape of The Earth • Heliocentrism being a lie. • Macroevolution being a lie • The Sun and Moon being smaller then the earth and that they are actually moving while the earth is stationary. (Joshua 10:13)

These people are disgusting and they cast spells on the audience to try and deceive them. They are Tares Among The Wheat and Yeshua Messiah will cast them into The Lake of Fire for what they are doing: But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, Sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death. •Revelation 21:8

"Drugs" are definitely apart of it. Witches would use drugs and "Potions" to "Connect" to "The Spiritual Realm" Drugs open the doors to these type of things. Research "DMT" Trips. Sorcery is connecting with demons and fallen Angels and trying to use their power to manipulate things in the physical realm.

So True. The sad part is when The Holy Spirit shows you people who you thought were real Christians that were actually "Tares Among The Wheat" pretending to be Christians and were closet Occultist/Sorcerers. There are A bunch of them too.

I believe that it's definitely apart of it. Matthew 4:8-10 talks about Satan tempting The Lord Yeshua Messiah with Earthly Kingdoms: Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.” Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you,Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’” The whole system is "Rigged" pretty much.

Absolutely. Rock Stars, Movie Stars Etc. It's all the same stuff.

Isaiah 47 also talks about it: 9 But these two things shall come to youIn a moment, in one day:The loss of children, and widowhood.They shall come upon you in their fullnessBecause of the multitude of your sorceries,For the great abundance of your enchantments. 12 “Stand now with your enchantmentsAnd the multitude of your sorceries,In which you have labored from your youth—Perhaps you will be able to profit,Perhaps you will prevail. You are wearied in the multitude of your counsels;Let now the astrologers, the stargazers,And the monthly prognosticatorsStand up and save youFrom what shall come upon you. Behold, they shall be as stubble,The fire shall burn them;They shall not deliver themselvesFrom the power of the flame;It shall not be a coal to be warmed by,Nor a fire to sit before!

Black Magic, Witchcraft. The use of demonic/Satanic power instead of the power of God. Like Jannes and Jambres who were Pharaoh's Magicians in Exodus 7:10-12 Also, Elymas in Acts 13:8-12 and Simon in Acts 8:9-25

Calvinism is Heretical Garbage but so is Arminianism.

Thanks for the info.

The Fourth Ecumenical Council is where things get a little bit weird for me because this is when you start to see big divisions between True Legit Trinitarian Christians who were apart of The Church from the very beginning (Oriental Orthodox Churches-Syriac, Coptic, Armenian, Ethiopian, Eritrean, Syrian) Sometimes I think that The Third Ecumenical Council should have been the last Council because of the divisions that happened after.
