I agree with you man, no animal will go to heaven, they don't have souls/spirits therefore have no par…
There's also the monastery in (or perhaps just outside) Alexandria. St Abu Sefen did two miracles with my (biological) brother. My mother was writing the miracles to be sent in but I'm not sure if they were sent in :S.
A good way to get it to the m…

If this was the case then God would not have instituted the death penalty in the first place They had equal opportunities in the ancient times to repent and make sin offerings. B…
We do say 12 in the East, after the four hundred... in long tune while the deacons do the zafa..
We used to do the fifty for St Mary too, but they changed that a few years ago because we should be focussing on the suffereings of Christ.

Sin=ETERNAL DEATH, ie, eternal life in HELL !!!!!
It is not a reference to mortality...
It is NOT OUR PLACE to remove evil by means of murder.. what if this human being (yes a human being, not evil, but imperfect in nature like every other one of …
Very well written! It's beautiful!!
Ahh I feel so much better. I feel like I had that all in there and I was trying to let it all out, but it just wasn't coming.
Clay, can you see where I'm comming from?
I gotz some!
1. I married a man who did not know God and as a result, my son would not accept Him. I am known as the mother of tears. Who am I ?
2. I was born in a rich family but all my heart longed for was Christ. I ran away from home to a mona…
LOL well this may be just a little delayed... but the three friends payed $30 dollars at the start, $3 was returned to them, therefore they now only PAID $27. When the first man retuned $5, it means that he really only charged then $25... The bellma…
St Rebekah? Isaac's wife?
Well, she doesn't really have a story. We know she was chosen as wife for Isaac by Abraham's servant, and she is Isaac's cousin. She bore to him Esau and Jacob, and Rebekah helped Isaac to steal Esau's blessing from his fat…
When I say violence, I do not mean we should accept fighting among egos, bullying, and the like; I mean controlled-reacting with courage and discernment, which sometimes means a violent act is necessary. The Psalter, King David, had faith and yet he…
Hi dumdum! (I like your name, I can already tell we have so much in common!) :P
I'm from Australia, and like many other things, I have never heard of this interpretation - though I find it very interesting... I think there's a saying that says that…
St. Moses the black is one such example. He knew that those he was repentant, that he should be killed by the sword, for his life of violence. It was impressed on him by his Christianity. He quoted "those who live by the sword die by the sword". Thi…
Quiet time - hehehe. :D
I don't know if you can change this now, but in the subject it says chapter 14 when it's actually chapter 10 :)
Some other reasons to why they didn't believe Him:
- The Pharisees didn't want their followers to follow Him - …
Even though we are not continuously confessing our sins, our souls should always be repenting for ALL our sins and we should be living with Christ.
We cannot have communion if we commit a sin that is new to us and has never been confessed... for ex…

Sister, I think you are confusing what love means. Love is not liking people. We often think that you either Love-Like-Apathetic-Dislike-Hate someone. This is not right. You can d…
I'm a pacifist.
& I do believe that my Christian beliefs lead me to this...
The courageous troops you speak of hurt people to protect people... hmm... ?
