  • [quote author=TITL link=topic=13108.msg154024#msg154024 date=1333317764] I would address my personal questions to my Sunday School teacher, not in front of 100's of people. Obedience is better than sacrifice. [/quote] I suppose that makes sense..…
  • [quote author=TITL link=topic=13108.msg154021#msg154021 date=1333316087] When I was little my parents used to teach me "Ebn el ta3 ta7el 3aleh el baraka", which is to say "the son of obedience receives the blessing". I think if your Sunday School te…
  • [quote author=TITL link=topic=13100.msg154019#msg154019 date=1333315362] Dude, chill. [/quote] Exactly. I really don't even know what to say. You extrapolated on a lot of stuff that wasn't there. This post started as an ad. I have no idea how we go…

  • "Then God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God relented from the disaster that He had said He would bring upon them, and He did not do it." -Jonah 3:10 This is the power of prayer.
  • [quote author=geomike link=topic=13087.msg153945#msg153945 date=1333154022] You talk about how much of a waste of time this site has become, and yet you waste other people's time by writing a long winded post flaming about the site. If you don't lik…
  • [quote author=ilovesaintmark link=topic=13062.msg153500#msg153500 date=1332416350] I think there should be a sign in every church, looking like a regular street sign, pointing the way to the church altar.  It can be called the "Pope Shenouda Walking…
  • Actually I call upon the moderators to ban the above andrewabdelmessih. He sent me a PM full of advertisements, and I assume he did the same to many other members.
  • [quote author=ReturnOrthodoxy link=topic=13087.msg153918#msg153918 date=1333089441] I'm not speaking about sides. I'm not putting names of people nor do I dream of it. If you knew me in the slightest, you would know that of the people who love HGBY,…
  • [quote author=Stavro link=topic=13087.msg153907#msg153907 date=1333075110] The other group stresses the sacramental theology and the role of deification in salvation, and can only understand the ascension of man to God and the change in his outer be…
  • This is great :) So there are a bunch of differences in different categories between the Oriental Orthodox Church and the Protestant denominations as a whole. If you define exactly which category you inquire about (i.e. theology, doctrine, spiritua…

  • Jerry, it depends on what kids of differences (i.e. theological, semantical, etc) and between the Oriental Orthodox Church and which other Church. If you don't mind, I'd also like to know what your religious background is at the moment. It just make…
  • Temptations will not shake me once God lives in my heart. One of the famous quotes by a Church father was "Make it your goal to live in the world, but to prevent it from living in you."
  • It is worthwhile to note that he may just be speaking rhetorically. You need to figure out whether he is asking sincere questions, or whether he is asking for the sake of argument. People who ask questions for the sake of argument usually never agre…
  • It depends on which AP class you intend to take. Medical schools want to see a year of Biology, a year of General Chemistry, a year of Organic Chemistry, a year of Physics, and a year of math. Now... If you take AP Chemistry, that is fine because y…
  • I am in shock. Augustine is not an Orthodox saint?? Is this because of his views on predestination?
  • All of C.S. Lewis's books are masterpieces. My favorite is Mere Christianity, but A Problem of Pain is great too. He is a truly great writer.

  • I have been away for a while again, but I would like to kindly participate in this discussion. I have seen people make (radical?) suggestions saying girls/women should wear long dresses to church, and have also seen people saying it doesn't really …

  • Aren't deaconesses ordained as well? I knew one in the area, and she was never married and lived for service alone. Is there something I'm missing?

  • I feel inclined to say that the amount of service one can do- whether male or female- depends on the person. Have you reached the point where you can be trusted with service? I know people will answer and say there are children that are deacons (not…
