This is shocking! Is this accepted by the Eastern Orthodox Fathers?

Good point!  ;D Its very well established that the Apostles died for this new religion of theirs. I believe no other religion could claim that (I think).

In the Philippines, Catholics have the tradition of saying Alleluia, Alleluia after saying Christ is Risen! W: Si Kristo Nabanhaw! R: Alleluya, Alleluya

Says who?  ;)

Well if he's Orthodox then I think he does! ;)

Any Bible quotes? Fathers? Thanks!  :)

In the Old Testament, God appeared as a war-God -- He would encourage religious wars and genocide; He encouraged stoning; He encouraged several violent things. In the New Testament, God appeared in human flesh as a peace-God -- He encouraged non-violence even to the extent of self-sacrifice...

That's horrible! Where did you get that? I hope someone could shed light on this.

That's amazing! I never knew the Romanovs were pious people, guess encyclopedias always exclude Orthodox Christians eh? So is he as Saint?

Have you tried this? I hope its not Protestant. (It sounds Protestant to me though) http://www.biblegateway.com/versions/?action=getVersionInfo&vid=28

I am completely neutral here. All I want to say is that I am shocked. I am utterly shocked that the Buddha, the Prophet of a non-Christian Religion founded before Christ, could actually be a Christian Saint. If there is a chance for Buddha to be canonized, why not Plato? Why not Heraclitus? Why...

Lord, have mercy!

Si Kristo nabanhaw! Nabanhaw gayud Siya! Blessed Pascha  :angel:

Wow, sounds like Spain to me! That magic is favorable on that day is also a belief in the Philippines! Many of our "mangbabarang" (witches) would prepare their "lana"(magic oil) on that day. Creepy... *brrrrr* BTW, where do you come from Augustin717?  ;D Blessed Pascha to all! Time to feast!

In the Philippines, it is customary that on Good Friday (Catholic) no one goes out of the house because of the belief that God is "dead" on that day. So the demons are lurking everywhere. Before, people didn't even take a bath on that day believing that blood would flow from the faucet! What...

So, it'd be better to focus on 'He gave Himself up for the life of the world' -- He could have found infinite other ways to save the world if He wasn't betrayed. He is infinitely-wise after all! Thank you, Father for teaching me these things.

Lord, have mercy!

Oh yeah! *singing* I'm going to heaven, I'm going to heaven!  ;)

Thanks! God bless you!  :)

What if we create a whole new word that represents both male and female? In the Filipino language there such a word -- 'siya'. You can use it for both male and female. Hmmm... Any ideas?  ;) Btw.. What's the Latin word for he (generic)?
