When our Lord says "Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven", he talking to the Apostles. As such, only them and their successors (the bishops, and therefore the pr…

[quote author=NESS55 link=topic=7388.msg97781#msg97781 date=1228086770] cant you confess your sins to God directly? NESS< [/quote] Of course not. Allow me to refer you to Matthew 18:18 for Biblical proof.

Hello. Sins are forgiven by confessing them to a priest or bishop and receiving absolution.

Welcome, brother. You will love it here. Pray for me! In Christ, Severus

[quote author=josephgabriel link=topic=7331.msg97046#msg97046 date=1226440084] A good point Severus. But surely, asking God to bless us and other people is well within our "limits" as it were? Do we not say in the Holy Liturgy after the commemoratio…

The priest is required to give you absolution. No matter what.

[quote author=grace08 link=topic=7317.msg96962#msg96962 date=1226366859] It is completely inappropriate to text in Church, responding quickly doesn't make it ok. What is so urgent that you have to answer right away. It is extremely disrespectful …

[quote author=Hailemikael link=topic=7246.msg96276#msg96276 date=1224955253] so nobody answered my question. Is that the actual communion? If so , that means they don't hid it when giving it to people. [/quote] I said: "This is at the confession (…

This is at the confession (namely, the deacon's part) directly before the distribution of the Holy Mysteries.

1. Minagir is right about that. You can't confess on the phone for the sake of feeling less embarrassed...doesn't work like that. 2. Hailemikael said: What if there is no priest around where someone lives and you want to confess? I think you could …

[quote author=Nesto0129 link=topic=7211.msg95698#msg95698 date=1224119566] The idea of confession to an abouna is really not that comforting to me, maybe because I've never experienced it. I'm Assyrian, so in our church we never do confession. I t…

If you consciously remember something and refuse to confess it, it is on your hands. You are responsible for it. No, there are no other ways to confess. Just confess it and be done! No need to keep waste on your spirit.

Miaphysite means ONE NATURE OF THE LOGOS INCARNATE (this is the classic Cyrillian formula that we follow). It describes one nature from two natures, united in a way that is beyond human understanding. This is the real, classic, rational Orthodox fai…
