Let me also add that the early Church Fathers taught that every single soul in Hades was delivered from there by Christ. Okay, I laid down the facts....it's your job to come up with the conclusions....

ditto on everything Iqbal said.

hey: what about like Jazz or techno? They don't have words, so is it okay? Also, remember: as innocent as guys like Bach, Vivaldi, and Palestrina seem to us nowadays, they were considered SATANIC back in their own day! The music of Palestrina w…

Here's a good riddle: If the Pope put out an ex cathedra Bull saying he really wasn't Infallible, then would he be infallible in making that statement or not? p.s. Presumably that is precisely what he would have to do for the re-union of the Roma…

Dear marksef: Christ told us to love our enemies.....so you're right: how much more should we love those who "left our ranks"? Obviously we shouldn't think we're better than anybody, but we should recognize that Orthodoxy has the fullness of truth…

MarMar....there's more to it than that...remember, no eye hath seen nor ear hath heard (OMG...i'm starting to sound like Billy Graham)...... We actually don't even know what heaven will be like. Think of it: not even St. Paul was allowed to discus…

ohh...I wasn't mad at anyone...I was just being sarcastic. I'm just trying to make the point that if you tell yourself to stop listening to secular music, then where do you draw the line? Why not stop watching secular movies? Why not stop watchin…

[quote author=sandrahanna link=board=11;threadid=1941;start=0#msg29699 date=1119985875] what is that?? [/quote] it's an example of vain and empty talk
-
I'm willing to make some concessions: perhaps logic is useful insofar as knowing that God is beyond logic...whereupon we begin to know Him in other ways. But we would still have to use logic to know that fact.

The soul is not a "thing-in-itself" (like some sort of ghostly "substance"). That belief is known as Cartesian Dualism and it has been debunked numerous times in the fields of philosophy, physics, and neuro-science. The "soul" (or "mind") is rath…

So how are they gonna work that out? Instead of "irini pasi", the Paps (instead of "Abouna") says, "Fair dinkum" Blokes on the left side....sheilahs on the right side Shiraz is used for the Communion wine..... After the raising of incense, they …

sandrahanna, it will be just like that: some Abouna will talk fast at some grand, cosmic hymns camp, boring you to death and making you fall asleep.....but for all eternity!

DUUUUDDDDEEEE!!!!!.....Do you hear what yous guys are saying?? Listen to yourselves!! You're using logic to formulate the above arguments to begin with! How do you know that "ultimate being cannot be known by logic" unless the quoted sentence its…

The Apocrypha, or deutero-canonicals, are the books of the Old Testament which only exist in the Greek Septuagint and don't exist in the Hebrew (correct me if i'm wrong). Protestants consider these books, for reasons too ridiculous to discuss, to n…

My opinion or the truth? It's a bunch of un-historical (or, anti-historical, rather), un-founded hog-wash written by some self-satisfied, pseudo-intellectual idiot who's out there to deceive all the comfortable American masses who wish with all the…

[quote author=Safaa link=board=1;threadid=1828;start=45#msg29550 date=1119832687] Those who commit suicide and succeed are evil people in the sight of God. [/quote] You don't know that. Some people are truly hurting beyond comprehension.

trouble is: a lot of the same people who have told me not to listen to....(gasp!) secular music, themselves would watch Hollywood movies....so I give that a big "Physician heal thyself!"

sorry for being a little non-sequitor to the current tangent, but I know many Fathers said that even the "un-forgiveable" sin can be forgiven by God (sorry....can't remember which Fathers right now).
-
okay....so my question is: so all the white boys like me are gonna be chased out of the Coptic church on rails, forced to drive to an American Orthodox Church with our Bush stickers and Fish-plates, and sing "Just a closer walk with Thee" in Occiden…
-
But what if you LIKE the Coptic tunes????? I don't mind having an American Orthodox Church, as long as it's not american-ized....there's a difference. I don't wanna feel like I'm walking into "free Bible Church" of Wukiwaka, Arkansas.
-
It depends on if you mean good angel or "bad angel" (i.e. demon). If the former, then yes, there is no Scriptural or Traditional evidence that such accusing angels exist. If the latter, then I'll have to disagree.....'lessin' of course Fr. Seraphi…

God has no need of angels to guard us either, but He has chosen to utilize such instruments anyway.
-
hmmm....i'll have to disagree.....jealousy in any form whatsoever is sinful. Jealousy causes feelings of negativity and feelings of negativity are never good, no matter what their supposed ends are. All being jealous of Saints will do is cause a …

Remember that we have to be careful when we read things like that in the Old Testament. For example, when we read about God's "hands" or "wings" or "feet", this obviously does not mean He literally has hands or wings or feet. They are just symbols…
