Mina, what is your source for this belief that two people baptized in the same water become like brother and sister in that manner? Again I ask how is this any different from partaking of Eucharist on the same day?
-
I would see no reason why not. Especially in a situation where a man and a woman decide together that they both would like to convert to Orthodoxy and then get married in the Orthodox Church. I see no reason for making them get baptized on separate …

Her is another one.

I can see the problem you are having with the first few chapters of the gospel according to St. Matthew. These chapters mainly contain a history of Jesus' lineage. However, in an overwhelming majority of the Bible it will be much easier. My advice i…

James 5:16 The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. (Gre…

The church pray's for the "youth in Asia" like it prays for the youth everywhere. :P Sorry guys I'm just in a silly mood today. Actually, the first time I heard the word was in my 7th grade Sunday School class. My teacher said, today we will talk…

As I implied before. The term "elect" usually refers to the faithful who are being saved. A slightly related issue is how should an orthodox Christian answer the Protestant question: "Have you been saved?" Many of them see salvation in terms of the…

The term elect is used numerous times in the Bible, especially in the epistles, to refer to the faithful. The one that comes to mind first is in 1 Peter 1:1-2. 1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To the pilgrims of the Dispersion in Pontus, Galat…

Here is another one.

I hope this is what you wanted. It is the icon we have at my church.

I am glad that this post has been helpful to many. I am also pleased to see that so many people agree with my sentiments. May God help us all to navigate the straight and narrow path.

For the older members I would recommend "On the Incarnation" by St. Athanasius the Apostolic. This is an excellent book. However, it is not an easy read. It can get very complicated and tough to follow. You need to be able to follow complex theologi…

I just noticed somethng interesting when I saw David the prophet and king and Job the righteous on your list. Most people, myself included, do not ask the intercession of the righteous ones from the Old Testament like David, Elijah, Moses, Abraham e…

I always thought that patron saints were a Roman Catholic idea. I have never heard of it being used in an Orthodox Church. I may be wrong. Many people have favorite intercessors that they form close bonds with, but I have never heard people asking f…

I'm sorry, but I don't know. This seems like a very random question. Is there any particular reason you ask? Also do you mean bleeding heart as in "bleeding heart lberal" or the condition in which the heart has a hole and is bleeding?
-
I'm sorry, but some of your information is wrong. As a medical student I realized something must be awry with your sources when you said that blood type O is very rare. This is the opposite of the truth; blood type O is the most common. According to…

Did you know that the commemoration of his departure is Kiahk 10, this Monday? Here is the Synexarium reading. The Departure of St. Nicholas, the Confessor, Bishop of Myra (Mora). On this day also the righteous St. Nicholas (1), Bishop of Mora (Myr…

He must have heard of it before. If he has been serving in America for a few years he must have heard of it. Ask and you shall receive. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Just a li…

It means that I was sentenced to death and now I have been granted clemency. It means that I deserve to die, but He died for me.

Point well taken. I should have said that better.

The Bible is a spiritual book not a historical one. There are many specific details that are not mentioned, because they would distract us from the main point that God wants us to reach. The thing I am most curious to know that is not mentioned in t…

I would have to advise against the dictionary.com idea. That is too impersonal and secular. You need a Christian answer that is directly tailored to you so as not to breed confusion. The southern diocese website presents a good short proof of why it…

For sensitive questions like this, the best thing to do is not to get an answer from your peers. They may give you misinformation or mislead you. You need to ask this kind of question to someone who knows you spiritually and will give you the answer…

Ask your FOC or your father.

They are both working for me.

PrincessMary, I don't think this is the song that MarMar91 wants. Sabani Hobek is a Kiahk song about the Virgin Mary.

You'll find it here in Arabic. http://coptichymns.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=Songs&file=index&q=f&f=%2FArabic_Songs%2FHymns_for_Kiahk and an English version is available on http://copticheritage.org/PagEd+index-page_id-791.ph…

Why are you assuming that the only reason to play hard is to show off. I would say that monks would play the same way that they do everything. If they are going to do anything they will put their all into it. For example every year at ECCYC H.G. Bis…

Do you mean Midnight praise that starts on Saturday night. That would be the Sunday Midnight praise and would thus be an Adam day. The Saturday midnight praise actually starts on Friday night and is thus a Batos day.

What blackpride is saying is that he/she (sorry I don't know if you are male or female) feels that he/she would like to change her FOC. However, he/she does not know how to and or is too embarassed to bring up the subject to her current FOC. Here …
