But I thought it was a requirement for a priest to be devoted to his service? Never actually heard of a priest who had to provide for himself. Is this an exception in the BOC?

I think your life is a testimony to my priest's sermon last week. When we initially provide God with our time, he blesses the rest so that we can accomplish more than we thought we ever could. I will pray for you, but I also need your prayers more. …

I dont think it should substitute the agpeya though. If your just praying the Rosary before you go to bed, I would say this is wrong. Countless repetitions of "Hail Mary" is not a prayer. The wisdom behind the prayers of the agpeya are of much more …
In my opinion, I think the separation today (regardless of what happened in the past) is due to one thing; the monks of Mount Athos of the Greek Orthodox Church- who cannot bear to look at us. This also applies to some other Greek monks outside the …
THe OSB has spent a great deal of time working on the Old Testament because it actually incorporated the most accurate version of the bible- the septugaint- to the book. Therefore, many of the verses/chapters in the OSB do not correspond to the NKJV…
I dont really think its wrong to have the Italian-Catholic images at home, distributed at prayer meetings etc. However, shame on any church that uses them on their iconostasis or around their church.
However, in regards to having any non-Coptic ic…

Well, this brings up another subject. There is no way that the Holy Spirit can be a HE or a SHE. It is genderless! Only Jesus was a man, and he had a gender. So for that matter, God the Father is not a HE either. God is spirit.

Stavro, I think it is because of the fact that today, there are over 30,000 branches of churches who declare themselves Christians, that we try to squeeze anything Orthodox out of them as you say. Im sure that the ancient fathers of the church were …
The bible tells us that the Kingdom of Heaven is for those who press forward. Even the saints aren't perfect. We all lose track of God sometimes; however, its those who can find their way back who will win the race. Even if you find praying hard, do…
