Evangelical Apologist Hank Hanegraaff Converts to Eastern Orthodoxy
Posted by: Rob Bowman
On Palm Sunday, April 9, 2017, Hank Hanegraaff formally joined the Orthodox Church. Since 1989 Hanegraaff has been the President of the Christian Research Institute (CRI) and (since ca. 1992) the host of CRI’s Bible Answer Man radio program.[1] Hank, his wife Kathy, and two of their twelve children were inducted by a sacramental rite called chrismation into the Orthodox faith at St. Nektarios Greek Orthodox Church in Charlotte, North Carolina, near where CRI is based. In chrismation, a baptized individual is anointed with oil in order to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.[2]

I do not, however think human beings are turned into angels, i.e. bodiless entitites. I believe in the resurrection of the body.
Elsie? What do you think of Enoch and Elijah?
“I already did.”
After I told you to stop 5 or 6 or even 7 times. It should not have happened the first time.
“Now again you’re trying to milk it “
No, you kept doing it. As I said, I told you to stop each and every time you did it and that was multiple times. You’re the only one “milking” this. I am merely responding to your posts.
“— while misrepresenting things, just wee bit, just enough to make it appear to those who are not privy to it all, that it’s been non-stop.”
Nine times in one day. And I pointed that out in one of the posts so for you to now claim that I’m misrepresenting things is bizarre. Another thing that is bizarre is to private message someone nine times in one day - many of those messages with profanity - and then say you’re messages are being misrepresented when someone mentions you’ve sent multiple private messages laced with profanity. Yeah, that’s bizarre.
“That’s another reason that private messages are not to be mentioned.”
And there’s a reason why profanity should not be used.
“Didn’t I tell you about that in private, also? Yes I did. So I repeat that here. As requested.”
And I repeat: Don’t private message me. Don’t send profanity to me. Say what you have to say to me right here in the thread where everyone can see it. Exercise self-control.
Oh, so you think it’s about intelligence and not doing the right thing?
James 1:26.
>>John 6:35
Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.
Matthew 5:6
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.<<
I think you hit on something here! :)
Scuse me. That was 645, pal. 645 size turtles.
"Thy words were found, and I did eat them, and Thy Word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of my heart: for I am called by thy name, Oh LORD God of hosts."
Again, stop private messaging me. Just post to me in this thread so that everyone can see it.
If you don’t have the courage to do that, then don’t post to me in the forum either.
I'll tell you again. I do not take orders from you and never will. You have no authority.
“I’ll tell you again. I do not take orders from you and never will. You have no authority.”
This is a public forum. Use it. Let everyone see what you really think rather than hide it in private messages. It has nothing to do with what authority either one of us has. Don’t post to me privately. This is simple: Don’t do it.

We will not become “Angels.”
We will become specially created “Sons of God,” as Yeshua described to Nicodemus. (and as Paul related to the people of Corinth)
Angels are not bodyless entities.
Our Earthly bodies are for Earth only. We must be changed to survive in the realm of Yehova; we must receive a body for that realm. That is the chief element of “Salvation.”
John 3 explains that fact clearly, if one reads it without man made bias.

Recurrence, such as the case you post, is the chief indicator that a number is “real,” but not rational.
Such numbers should only be used in computations as the rational operation that generated them.

>> “Does Rome teach that THEY have new bodies now?” <<
Yeshua told Nicodemus that you must have that new body to enter the realm of his Father.

That's purely psychological projection on your part.
Intelligence? Doing the right thing?
FWIW The article I linked to was about honesty, and integrity.
Without those, despite if one possesses "intelligence" an individual will never "do the right thing", except accidentally perhaps, or among those of their own tribe. It's good enough tax collectors, but not enough to abide truth, and thus please the Lord.
Check this out; (Matthew 5:46-48)
Then compare that with how you'd alleged I had "denied the Incarnation and Resurrection".
That accusation comes from place of demonic stronghold, from the places of hatred for Protestants, hatreds which are being harbored, provided shelter for and nurtured. Weaken the stronghold(s) and one need not an exorcist...
You owe me an apology. You owe many other persons apology.
But it's too late now. Those sins cannot be withdrawn. They have to be payed for. Who's going to pay the tab? Must be Jesus, again.
Stop being His enemy, and I'll stop being yours.
“You owe me an apology. You owe many other persons apology.”
No, actually I don’t.
“But it’s too late now. Those sins cannot be withdrawn. They have to be payed for. Who’s going to pay the tab? Must be Jesus, again.”
No payment necessary for something that didn’t happen except in your post.
“Stop being His enemy, and I’ll stop being yours.”
I’m not His, so apparently you’re not mine. Apparently you’re your own.
Recurrence, such as the case you post, is the chief indicator that a number is “real,” but not rational.
Such numbers should only be used in computations as the rational operation that generated them. .
Way, way, way off topic, but a quick math lesson:
The example shown above is both real and rational. An example of an irrational number is pi, and an example of an imaginary number is the square root of -1.
Where is the center of a circle (presuming that it is possible to have a perfect circle)?
I’m not sure what that has to do with what I wrote, and is even more off topic. That being said, the center of the circle is the point that is equidistant from all points on the perimeter of the circle.
He did?
....that didn't happen except in "my post", you say.
You're trying to say you have no sin in any of this, but that the Lord would level charges of sin against me -- for something I'd said that you perceived was "heretical".
Do you have any idea of how preposterous you are being?
You're obviously enough a stranger to Him.
He would not and does not convict anyone (or need pay for the sins of anyone) on strength of your own, either; misunderstanding of what was being said, or on strength of accusation you had purposefully invented, having grasped upon a sentence fragment (then ran with it to "if this-then that" laboratory of evil imaginings).
Meanwhile, the sin of falsely accusing another is on the top ten list of what to "Do not" -- but which you have done and still insist upon continuing.
It's no wonder people around here don't like you. You're a jerk.
