If they are able to understand and explain the bible to others, THEN they will be ordained oghnostos. but if they don't know how to do that, then they'll stay epsaltos.
-
not necessarily true. just very few deacons of our age group. But its because you have to be at least 30-sum years old to be ordained a deacon (i think thats the right age..not positive). But of course if you have the maturaty and knowlegde, then…

Well you usually confess after God teacher you that lesson. If you TRULY confess then you probably already learned your lesson. But if you simply state your sins to abouna, then your probably still in for that lesson. Just an idea tho..

So now is circumcision required or is it just tradition?

Banoub, circumcision is no longer required by the church. I do agree with you 100% on how it's good for the health, but especially after Saint Paul wrote the book of Galations which was all about circumcision, and many other epistles that mentioned…

thats the one Mike....amazing passage. thanks.

hmmm u could be right...then again we never really know what God has in store for the world. But i'm sure He put bush in his position for a reason. we probably won't know what it is for a very very long time lol. but i'm sure He has His reasons.

loll....good enough. well you have to remember that presidents and people with authority are picked by God. [I don't remember the bible verse for that, but if anybody has it lemme know]. So God probably has a plan for the world, and He's fulfill…

andrew...we've been looking for the verses of the cymbals for a while, but we have yet to find them on any site. If we find anything we'll be sure to let you know.

um...check this out... James 3:5-12 "See how great a forest a little fire kindles! 6And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it …

um...just wanted to tell you guys that the hymn text library is back online and ready to go.

you can do this on your own..but it would be very very hard...you need to go to your church priest. They know what to do in these cases, and most likely the priest will contact a bishop and he'll get involved too. Sometimes these things are very h…
