HOUSE & SENATE ADOPT $90 MILLION AID PACKAGE FOR ARMENIA

[jahannam]

you know what makes us different?
the fact that you call me an atheist merely because I think that when you die...you're gone ... byebye... and you don't "live eternally" *rolling eyes*
but even though I totally disagree with you,I don't call you names, cuz you think that in 2003, christianity is "the uniting force that binds Armenians together and allows us to maintain our identity"...???
you know what's sadly happened to our church?
they preach about preaching christianity to people more that they actually spend time praying...or whatever you're supposed to do.. whatever "John" or "Ghougas" have given you orders to do...

Dear jahannam

if u thought i meant to insult u by calling you an atheist... i'm sorry for the misunderstanding.

First of all, the comment was not directed at you but at Anonymouse who was the first to say Christianity was bad for Armenians...

Secondly, calling someone an atheist is not an insult... the definition of an atheist is simply a person who does not believe in the existence of God.

whether this applies to you or not is up to you to decide

i assure you no offense whatsoever was intended, i simply stated that atheistic comments were stated in this forum and i found it dissappointing.

and i agree with you totally that there are a lot of things wrong with the Armenian Church... and i agree with you entirely that the biggest one is that they don't "preach Christianity" if by that u mean preaching the Gospel... i never heard (and still haven't heard) the gospel out of an Armenian mouth... for years the cornerstone of Christianity was never revealed to me until some Canadian people told me...

the Church is run by people and thus is flawed... but Christianity comes from God... it's perfect

sorry again for not being clearer, hope i sorted that out...
and ask me about the gospel if u haven't heard it...

[jahannam]

I know what atheist means.. and I didn't say I got insulted, it's just that you came to conclusions too fast...

I didn't mean "preaching the gospel"
I meant it seems like all you guys do is preach outsiders or "bad" christians to become christians. don't you think you spend more time on that than actually praying or "serving God"?
and whatsup with hardcore christians criticizing their own churches' teachings?
I thought you were the one arguing that armenians are united through our church... now you're bashing the armenian church, and you're defending some "canadian" made up kinda christianity?

[harout86]

Ok...

I am only speaking for myself here... but in my opinion, I should spend MORE time preaching the gospel... and I mean the gospel... telling people that they should become Christians is really an empty act if you don't inform them of how he/she can do that... The gospel, or "good news", is that although "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" and should be condemned... the Father sent Jesus to be the Ultimate sacrifice to pay for all those sins... so that people can have a shot at eternal life in heaven... thus... in order to be saved, you have to 1. repent (turn away) from your sins - now this doesn't mean you'll never sin again... we're only human... but it means our innermost desire is to not sin. 2. Accept Jesus as your Saviour... and it will be done.

and the way that a Christian "serves God" is, yes... to worship him.. which is the main purpose of going to Church on Sunday, and to spread the Word...

and I said that Christianity kept Armenians together... not the church, specifically... and man... hear me out! what are you calling "Canadian made-up kinda Christianity"... Christianity's based on the Bible... the Word of God... the gospel is the gospel no matter what language you say it in...
and who am I bashing? I'm pointing out vulnerabilities brought about by people... the Armenian church has these vulnerabilities and so does the Anglican one and the Catholic one and the United Church and the Mennonites and whoever else recognizes Christ as Lord. people can't be perfect... they can only do their best and ask God for forgiveness where they fail...

It's a pity,very VERY pity that Washington decided to give so many $$$$$ to the criminal regime in Armenia and 0 cent to our party to get the russian militaries completely and unconditionally out of the territory of Armenia!.."Armenia is not Karabakh and Yerevan is not Stepanakert's branch!" Party.

Who is this garbage called Armen2008?

I think we have four options:

1) He is a Turk posing as an Armenian

2) He is an Armenian working for Turks

3) He is a dangerous lunatic on heavy medications

4) He may be working for the Armenian authorities (or the Russian NSB) trying to discredit the opposition in Yerevan by revealing how absurd their political platform is.
