marephrem, if we think about it from a psychological perspective, their religion is strong because they make it strong. So what is really holding them together as a religion? Is it their "true" faith and teachings? Of course not! It must be the fact…

egoboy, i know how you feel! I've been goin thru something like that lately. What I can tell you, from my similar experience I'm going thru right now, is just try. Try to motivate yourself to pray and read the bible and all that. And it is not wrong…

Just to add on to what you guys are sayin about premarital sex, even if they've been together for a while or whatever, they are still considered brother and sister. This is what Anba Paula (the one responsible for marriage problems in the Orhodox ch…

Thanks mabsoota :), that is a great application of the verse, and I will take your advice and try to live by that. I'm sure that if I do that it would help me a lot. It is possible that God was trying to pull me closer to Him by allowing me to feel …

Cool that sounds great!! Ooh and i love the name CHAOS You guys seem to be covering a lot of things for a new club...I feel there's nothing to add lol God be with you and make the club and your mission successful :)

I think it is wrong because technically the other guys is lying to your friend. The guy has good intentions (doesn't wanna give your friend steroids) but instead of lying and making your friend think he's on steroids, he should just help him overco…

[quote author=Ioannes link=topic=8452.msg107467#msg107467 date=1257007353] If homosexuality is indeed genetic, then they would be extinct because they cannot naturally re-produce. Since there were homosexuals ages ago who couldnt have artificially i…
-
you know what really sucks is researchers say they supposedly found "evidence" that homosexuality may be genetic (PALEAAASE!) and that sexual identity is on a continuum (so like homosexual, things in between like bisexual etc, heterosexual). As Chri…

God be with you habibi and bless you. Study hard and keep praying all the time. And please try to take that "failure" idea out of your head :) "Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wher…

I like the picture idea, my FOC recommended taht for impure thoughts as well... Also something else to help..."But we have the mind of Christ" (1 Corinthians 2:16) If you keep that verse in your head, even if a bad thought/image comes, you can say …

i guess different things work for different people right but again we are humans and it is in our nature to sin, just we can try to avoid sin and do our best to strive for perfection (even tho only God is perfect) PRAYER is an important one :) prob…

[quote author=QT_PA_2T link=topic=8455.msg107404#msg107404 date=1256850570] What I mean is: you've explained that the women also received the tongues of fire. But as we know, the Apostles who received the tongues of fire were able to speak in diffe…

Noo she's not purging at all, (at least this is what i understand). She just doesn't wanna eat (this would mean she's anorexic, not bullemic) I have to say though that she's a lot better now than she was a few months ago. She's eating, and she love…

Also, an update: instead of sending her to a clinic, the family made her promise that she will actually work harder. Instead of doing all this for her family, they're now encouraging her to do it for HERSELF not just to make her family happy that sh…
