To the Sinners, to Make Much of Time

By -
---I hope Robert Herrick will not sue me---

Gather ye sinners while ye may
             Old time is still a-flying
And this lamb that ye behold today
            Tomorrow will be a lion

The great big lie, the worldly riches
            Will never be fulfilling
Like the chasing of the wind
Vain is all your tilling

Come to Christ, the only Way
            Faith, hope and love will fill your morrow
Earthly wisdom is deceiving
And much knowledge brings much sorrow

Tarry not, but know thy Saviour
            before ‘tis late for day is spent;
Night will come with all its terror
            and His knocking forever end

الأخ وحيد بخصوص الاخوة الكذبة

هذا الرد على ادعاءات الأخ وحيد الذي يظهر على شاشة قناة الحياة في برنامج «الدليل» مكون من ثلاثة أجزاء. انقر هنا للحصول على النسخة الإنكليزية لهذا المقال في الحلقة بعنوان « تزوير موقف القديس بولس الرسول من وثنيي أثينا » الحلقة ٤٦٨، قام الاخ وحيد باقتباس من مراجع التي بحسب فهمه تخالف تعاليم الكتاب المقدس وصلب العقيدة المسيحية التي هي لا خلاص بدون دم المسيح الكفاري. قبل أن أدخل في صلب الموضوع، أحب أن أوضح لكل قارئي هذا المقال وللاخ وحيد باني معجب بمحبته لخلاص النفوس و بغيرته على كلمة الله. ولكني أيضا أحب أن ادعوه أن يتامل بهذه الحقيقة. حياتنا التبشيرية لها طابعين. الأول هو محبتنا للحق والثانية كراهيتنا للهرطقة. أحيانا حينما كراهيتنا للهرطقة تفوق على محبتنا للحق، تتغلب علينا الشكوك فنرى هرطقات في أشياء خالية من الهرطقة. لو الكتاب الذي هاجمه الأخ وحيد لم يكن كتاب التعليم المسيحي للكنيسة الكاثوليكية، الكتاب الذي يحتوي على التعليم الرسمي للعقائد الكاثوليكية، لما أنفقت وقتي في كتابة هذا الرد. ويتمادى وحيد بوصفه للذين يعتقدون بهذا الكتاب بأنهم «ذئاب خاطفة» و«اخوة كذبة» (انقر هنا ...

Biblical Proof of Mary’s Immaculate Conception II

By -

As promised in my previous post , this blog entry is dedicated to offer further Biblical evidence of the Blessed Virgin Mary’s Immaculate Conception. Previously, it was made clear from the typology that exists between Eve and Mary that the latter was the Second Eve, whom God protected from the stain of Original Sin.  Another typology in the Bible that cannot be ignored is the Ark of the Covenant foreshadowing the Blessed Virgin Mary.  The chest-like object in the OT was made of incorruptible acacia wood that was covered with pure gold.  The spiritual meaning of these two elements when the Ark is seen as a reference to Mary is that Mary is also incorruptible.  She is empty of any sin that would render her corrupt.  Now, let us look at the evidence from the Scriptures. The Ark of the Old Covenant contained the two tablets on which the Ten Commandments were written (Exodus 25:16). The Ten Commandments are the word of God.  Likewise, Mary, the Ark of th...
