This is why I think the Coptic Orthodox Church has a good way for it, mind you we do this because of our religion and our religion is more than just going to Church but it is involved in every aspect of our life. Sometimes like I have said we are vegan other times we can eat whatever we want. Personally I only eat Chicken, Fish, and Pork but I only eat it one kind of way (trauma from my childhood gives me a nauseous feeling to eat it any other way). I try to eat leaning more towards a vegan diet because I just feel better eating that way.
I can't stand soy milk its extremely gross, Beyond meat also tastes disgusting however I have eaten it with taco seasoning and it isn't the same amount as a burger would be so eating it this way it didn't taste disgusting. I chalk it up to as if I drank a soda which is also very bad for you. Something that shouldn't be done all the time. I was given the meat from the food bank which is why it was used.
I have to disagree with you, the Coptic Church has fasted eating vegan since St. Mark came and established the Church. I do think what you might see as veganism is more of a new age way of lifestyle that people have. Eating vegan is healthy, but it also depends on the person.
What isn't healthy is this beyond beef or vegan hotdogs or vegan cheese all these other products that are not just fruits or veggies.
King James Version is one of the worst translations, some verses are completely removed others are different. I don't know what that guy's issue is with that one verse but over all the translation is a bad one. Still not worse than "The Message" 😂
I wonder what he ate when he was vegan. I don't think eating vegan is wrong, it works for some people, I also don't think if you want to eat raw meat is wrong do what you like, but if you eat food (and plenty is available for vegans, like vegan hot dogs or vegan burgers not black bean burgers but like beyond ) that is just junk food then you will get sick.
It's all good, apology accepted 🤗
My dude, I have no idea why you are going off on me for only stating the video has been around a while. I have been around the websites over the years (BestGore, LiveLeak, 4Chan, Pain Olympics, ect) not that I am proud of the things I have seen. But I can tell you that video has been around a while. Do I know if it's real or staged? No clue, could be like 2 girls 1 cup or it could be real.
I get your new here but you need to chill a bit.
Because the video is old it's been around for a good while.
Ah no its just that one particular heresy that always seems to come up. I have 0 idea why there's a huge following of it these days, it was something I was taught in school that view of the end of times (went to a non denom school but we all know that just means Baptist) The story Left Behind was okay I guess entertaining for a child over Harry Potter at least for me maybe that is what made it popular.
Good thing none of us are QAnon followers, I hear those guys are terrorists. No wonder they are on the top of the list.
Are you thinking about the left behind style rapture? Because that is a heresy invented by John Nelson Darby only one other person before him had a concept of that same kind of heresy but it was just a small mention in an essay that was written. John Darby is credited with the theory of dispensationalism which climaxes in the whole rapture of the Church caught in the clouds. Utter hogwash.
The issue with things like this is I use PP and Venmo for a lot of business transactions, the problem is there isn't a lot of popular alternatives. I can say we allowed this to happen frog in a boiling pot when you look at the giants how we let convenience push out things like mom and pop stores. It just bleeds over into things like transactions.
The thing is like one of the others in this thread said about lining up to kiss someone's hand, none of our bishops do that. And even H.H. Pope Tawadros II is considered equal to all our other bishops.
No one is being forced to kiss someone's hand in the Coptic Church.
Because the bishop of Rome isn't the Pope. It's just like how Joe Biden thinks he is the President of the US. 🤷♀️
The real Pope is H.H. Pope Tawadros II of the Coptic Church, we had the title Pope before the Catholic Roman church started to use it.
Also about hand kissing I wonder if that's something they also perverted from the time they were still with the Eastern Orthodox. In the Church we kiss the hands of our bishops and priests because they touch the body of Christ and we see it as we are taking a blessing from Christ. It's not something you have to do nor is it pressured and you will notice that the priests and bishops tend to pull their hands away quickly to try and not have you kiss it.
To bad he is going to have some issues with religious freedom. It's against Orthodoxy to have a vasectomy and pretty sure the Catholics are in the same opinion.
I really think that the Eastern Orthodox we're under the influence of the Roman Emperor at the time when they schismed from the Church. The Oriental Orthodox didn't have any fairness in representation at Chalcedon.
For the Orthodox, Saddam was a better leader than what could have been. He kept the Muslims in check from trying to persecute them, there were a lot of sects that wanted to see the destruction of Orthodoxy. For whatever reason Saddam really dotted on the Orthodox Church.
Putin is a lot like Saddam, keeping something worse at bay.
Maybe, but I don't know because when I had my first daughter I was a democrat and pretty leftist. Yet some reason had her at a midwife, I honestly don't even remember how I heard about her, might have been from the woman who did my pregnancy test. (It's been over 10 years since my first was born)
I will never understand why people have babies in hospitals outside of emergent situations I had 3 of my 4 children at a midwife my second child I had to have in hospital because my water broke without contractions and it was getting to a point where I had to be induced. It was one of the worst experiences I have ever had.
I don't believe this to be the case because I have sent multiple prayer ropes like that with letters and only twice had them returned to me for "insufficient postage"
I mailed a letter, happened to have a prayer rope bracelet in it for my friend, it weighs less than an ounce it qualifies to be in a letter envelope with one stamp. Post master sent it back to my house with a label of insufficient postage because it's not in a package it's in a letter. 😡 It qualifies as a letter, but they just feel the bracelet and send it back for more money.
China no longer has a one child policy fyi.
If the left had any brain at all they would take these "problematic names" and embrace it, they would say yeah that guy James Webb was a POS and here is why. His name would be infamy to them. Instead they would rather sweep stuff under the carpet to be repeated again.
Also I find renaming stuff to be stupid regardless of what side it's on. The other day I found out that Aunt Jemima was renamed to Pearl Milling Company or something like that. The package looks like some knock off brand so I wouldn't even buy it I said out loud who's this? I don't know them probably trash pancakes only to be informed it's Aunt Jemima.
But yet our kids in Orange County FL are STILL masked in public school. Nothing being done about it!
